Currently shooting in Prague ahead of an October 2016 release, the tentatively-titled Underworld 5 brings back Kate Beckinsale as Selene, who this time reportedly battles half-breeds created by Alexander Corvinus. Rumours persist that Scott Speedman will return as Michael, who regains his memory and begins searching for Selene and his daughter. Also returning are Theo James as David and Charles Dance as Thomas, the vampire elder. The script is credited to Cory Goodman, who also penned Priest and The Last Witch Hunter (uh oh), and in the directors chair is Anna Foerster, who directed 2nd Unit on The Day After Tomorrow and 10,000 BC and was director of photography on White House Down. Hopefully she learned something from Roland Emmerich and will make Part 5 an improvement over Underworld: Awakening.
