    Underworld (2003)


    Several different twists on what this movie is about are around. Does anyone know the real premise? Listed below are 2 different premises, close but not the same.

    Release Date: September 19th, 2003 (wide) Release Date Notes: (1/19/03) At one point, Screen Gems had listed this film as a possible October, 2003 release.

    Title Note: (5/7/03) There have been reports of a test screening in the L.A. area this past weekend in which this movie was presented not as 'Underworld', but as 'The Covenant', but it appears this might have been a 'cover title', which studios sometimes use to disguise what movie is actually playing (a screening of 'The Hulk' might be called 'Smash and Grab', for example).

    Distributor: Screen Gems (Sony)

    Production Company: Lakeshore Entertainment (Wicker Park, The Hunted, The Human Stain)

    Cast: Kate Beckinsale (Selene), Scott Speedman (Michael), Shane Brolly, Robby Gee, Erwin Leder, Wentworth Miller, Sophia Myles, Bill Nighy (Viktor), Michael Sheen

    Director: Len Wiseman (feature film debut)

    Director Notes: (8/7/02) Len Wiseman got his start working as a prop designer for movies like Independence Day and Stargate, before becoming a director of music videos (as a stepping ground to feature work), making videos for songs by groups like Megadeth and En Vogue.

    Screenwriter: Danny McBride (feature debut) Based Upon: This project is loosely inspired by William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", but in modern times, and with vampires and werewolves instead of the Capulets and Montagues, respectively.

    Premise: Set in the secret nocturnal and supernatural world of vampires and werewolves, two groups that have been at war for centuries, this is the story of a romance between a female vampire warrior, Selene (Beckinsale), who's famous for her strength and werewolf-hunting prowess, and a non-werewolf human, Michael (Speedman), who is being hunted down by the werewolves because he has a unique type of blood that can save their race from extinction...

    Filming: Production started on September 2nd, 2002 in Budapest, Hungary, and wrapped up in early November, 2002.

    Genre: Action, Eye Candy, Horror, Romance, Supernatural


    Second Premise and info

    Action/Adventure, Romance and Suspense/Horror Set in the secret nocturnal and supernatural world of vampires and werewolves, two groups that have been at war for centuries, this is the story of a romance between a female vampire warrior, Selene (Beckinsale), who's famous for her strength and werewolf-hunting prowess, and a peace-loving male werewolf, Michael (Speedman), who wants to end the war.

    So, not a single one of you know anything about and/or are interested in this movie. Such a shame. I had expected at least a bit of a response from someone.

    well im sorry but i never heard of this movie but as a fan of the crow and movies in that premise i think i would definitly be interested in this movie just because i think i would really enjoy it. thanx for posting it up i probably would have never known about it.

    EDIT: i just checked out the site and the trailer and damn that looks like a really good movie. its like a cross of the crow/some vampire movie/matrix type deal sounds like a movie for me.
    thanx again S.D
