Underworld: Awakening (2012)
Action | Fantasy | Horror
When human forces discover the existence of the Vampire and Lycan clans, a war to eradicate both species commences. The vampire warrioress Selene leads the battle against humankind.
Directors: Måns Mårlind | Björn Stein
Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Michael Ealy, India Eisley
The Buzz: We feel as though Len Wiseman should have returned to the director's chair, but he earned the potentially dubious honor of handling the Colin Farrell-starring Total Recall remake at Sony, so the call went out to Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein, the Swedish duo whose thriller Shelter is being held captive by The Weinstein Company (for good reason, we hear). Distributor Screen Gems, home of the more successful Resident Evil series, will undoubtedly milk this vampire/werewolf saga for every last silver coin. Something tells us newcomer India Eisley is being groomed to potentially take over the franchise since it's reported that she's playing Selene's daughter here. She's the Jeremy Renner to Kate Beckinsale's Tom Cruise?
