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

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.
