Film Clips: Underworld: Awakening

In 2003 Director Len Wiseman brought the world Underworld.  A post-apocalyptic style Vampire story revolving around the blood feud between Vampires and Lycans (werewolves).  The film was heavily stylized, a feast for the eyes with all of the special effects and moderate amounts of gore, and most importantly it introduced the character of Selene, played by Kate Beckinsale.  Selene, a vampire death dealer who clads herself in a leather/pleather/plastic ensemble with boots that seem to be the boots Nancy Sinatra was referring to when she sang “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” instantly became the definition of a gorgeous ass-kicking siren on screen.

Two franchise-films later, the equally fun Underworld: Evolution and the not-so-memorable prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (Underworld without Beckinsale just was not the same), Underworld: Awakening reunites audiences with Selene, and a new group of vampires and humans (oh my!).  Where our favorite Lycan Michael (Scott Speedman) is these days is unknown based on the trailers and clips that have been released.  Fans of the Underworld franchise no doubt are holding their breaths in anticipation that he will indeed make an appearance–we’ll all find out January 20th.  Until then, take a gander at the clips from the film that have been released and commence countdown to Underworld: Awakening.
