5 Upcoming Horror Movies That Will Disappoint (And 5 That Could Be Great)
9. Underworld 5
The wheels came off the Underworld franchise early on and for the last decade, the series has clunked around in search of a reason for being. Rise Of The Lycans and Awakening failed to provide one, so it’s up to this sequel to either revive the franchise or drive a nail into its coffin.
The plot doesn't sound particularly promising: this time, Selene (Kate Beckinsale) battles half-breeds created by Alexander Corvinus, and rumours persist that Scott Speedman will return as Michael, who regains his memory and begins searching for 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 director’s 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. If she's learned from Roland Emmerich, then Underworld 5 will at least cover up its shortcomings with plenty of action.
