Underworld (1 Viewer)

Today, the Calgary Sun ran a blip on Scott Speedman and the movie ("Underworld") that he stars in that is set to arrive in theaters on September 19, 2003.

Kate Beckinsale looks great, and I'm all up for another Romeo and Juliet "remake," but that September release date is worrying me.

I hope it's good. It's hard to be a Kate Beckinsdale fan when she's been in such crap movies for the past couple of years. Hopefully this will break that trend instead of continuing it, although I am skeptical.

I have been following this film since its development stages, and it is my second most anticipated film of 2003! It has been a looong wait for me, but I'm sure its going to be worth it! A werewolf and vampire take on Romeo and Juliet is one of the coolest ideas I've heard in years, and as most people in the polls section know, I am one of, if not the biggest Kate Beckinsale fan alive today. I frickin' love her! Anyhow, this film is one I've been waiting for, and I'll be all over it!

A couple of articles on this movie were just posted on Ain't It Cool News. One is mostly full of pictures of Kate Beckinsdale poured into tight leather, which I have absolutely no problem with. The other is full of spoilers regarding the characters and storyline.

I like this bit: "Underworld reimagines Vampires as a secretive clan of modern, aristocratic sophisticates". As if it's a concept that hasn't been commonly tossed around various forms of media for the past couple of decades Still, I'm willing to forgive a lack of originality if a movie can compensate for it in other areas, and monsters fighting each other is always at least worth a look (if it was just vampires, it would be boring. But since they also have werewolves, it's intriguing ).

Poster released today:

This is one of the most anticipated movies of the year for me and that poster is SO MINE!

Check out these photos, nothing finer than a beautiful brunette dressed in black holding a gun. Or two.

Ooh la la...the teaser trailer is up:

What an extremely awesome trailer, Blade what? This is gona be way better, beautiful shots in that trailer, if the whole movie is like that, I'll be in heaven!

Now that I got my hands on a better quality trailer file, here are my 10 favorite screenshots!





















They speak for themselves, but I especialy like that sensual shot of her hand, and water dripping off of it... I'm all melting here. *sigh*

Much better quality teaser trailer here:

Yeah, it was "released" yesterday online, so I've gotten my screenshots from it now.

Just saw this trailer and it looks frickin awesome. Up until now I have not heard a thing about this movie but I am sooooooo there on opening day.

Edit Made this sig today in anticipation of the release.

anyone else looking forward to this i just saw the trailer and tkought it would kick ass

a cross between buffy-blade-matrix whats not to like

I am looking forward to it. For one it's got Kate in it. Plus I love Vampire movies... even some bad ones. The plot of this one being she's a vampire in love with a werewolf and the two groups are at war. Kind of an old theme re-written but should be entertaining.

Thomas,
Thanks for pointing out the previous post. I have merged the two threads.

According to www.FilmJerk.com 's rather reliable Early Report:



Sorry for sounding like a violence-hungry lunatic, but I'd call this good news.

Yeah, I'll pay for this one. Yeah, it's a rehash of other films. Yeah, the director of EQ is making a very similar film called Ultraviolet (minus the werewolves) with better action scenes (I assume that, but it seems a safe bet).

But it's a fun idea, Kate looks incredible (and will sound incredible), werewolves make MOST movies better (think what they would have done for The English Patient), and 7 bucks is a small price to pay to see if it works.

I haven't said it before, but I really like the poster. A lot.

Take care,
Chuck

Scott, I wouldn't. I was hoping for nudity.

I just saw a TV spot of this movie last night while watching Fox, and it reminded me of a mix between The Crow, Blade, and The Matrix. I'll still probably go see it, because it looks good.
