A few weeks ago we reported that Lakeshore Entertainment was looking to reboot the Underworld franchise, a mere two years after the previous installment. It seems that that report was a bit premature, however, as we now know that we're not getting a reboot, but another sequel that will "expand" the existing franchise. Divergent actor Theo James is set to star in the new film, according to THR. James was last seen in 2012's Underworld: Awakening, as a vampire named David who helped Kate Beckinsale's character, Selene. Beckinsale will not be back for Underworld 5, and James' character will be the new focus. He'll be joined by two other actresses in substantial roles, but those parts have not been announced yet. We should expect that news soon, however, as the film is expected to begin filming in the spring.
James is a 24 year old writer and filmmaker living in Portland, OR. He attended college for graphic design and writes for various sources on the web about film, television, and entertainment.
