Underworld 2 has had the official 'green light' for some time now, not to mention a third installment. Its rumoured to be a sequal whilst the third is a prequal.
Selene and Michael are said to return for the second...
The second is also said to have flashbacks to a medieval battle sporting horsemounted vampires taking out Lycans. This scares me. If they can pull it off great...but if they fuck it up, It'll ruin the entire movie...
Being fans of the first (Why are you here if youre not???) I'd like to know youre expectations...wants...desires...
Also any extra bits of information anyone has gathered in their searches...
I just want Amelia back...

Yes, I have heard about this, only recently. It does sound a little.... tentative, but, then again, the first didn't sound as if it would be as good as it was. I'm convinced they will be able to pull it off. To say the truth, I'm a little more woried about the third. It wont be bad to see Amelia for more than 20 second... I look foward to that. I am also keen to see Marcus alive. I have great expectations for this/these movies, but I fear my expectations will lead to dissapointment. I do hope they turn out well. PS: Underworld 3 will be very bleak without Erika That is, if infact, she does not appear in it, which seen as it is a prequal, I very much doubt she will. -Erika-

the first 10-15 minutes of the sequel will be a prequel showing a war in the old ages when steel still reigned the world. vampires on horsebacks vs lycan footmen and a small amount of transformed werewolves. or sth like this scenario. ...as you already said. but why would it ruin the movie ? i think its a great idea and am really looking forward to this. too, i think they will further explain their blood feud and important things that came to pass... probably youll also see amelia and marcus, but no selene the success of the first movie do make you expect an even better sequel. and thats the wall wiseman and co gotta climb and master. but i think the sequel will be even better than underworld 1 because they have so many material they could use, so many quesitons left unanswered (and i think they did it just for that purpose). i heard so many ppl say they didnt like it because of the lacking romance between selene and michael. hell, im so glad they just indicated it instead of making it the *normal* hollywood way. adn so, they got more options for the sequel again. if they threw only a part of the scenarios i have in mind in the sequel, itll top even underworld 1. and im sure it will. but im afraid that underworld 3 wont have much to do with the other movies. itll play in a different time. so some characters wont be there (selene and michael among with others) and they cant tell the story they have already started to tell. but they got time for it and who am i to judge? time will tell ps: erika? come on the way they put she in the mind of the audience was just not right. did you read the book ? then you know who erika really was. they indicated it in the movie, but couldve done it more the way its told in the book. btw, erika and a battleground? this would be like vampire blood combined with lycan blood without the convinus blood. she could play an important role in the sequel though...

The second has a lot of potential. In the very end of the first move they showed the dead Lycan lying on the ground with his blood running over Marcus. And then it happened Marcus’ eyes turned black just like Michael’s. I think Marcus is going to be an abomination as well; after all he is a descendant of Corvinius also.
So the big question is are Michael and Marcus allies or enemies? Will one abomination lead the Vampires and the other Lycans?
Intriguing things are ahead.

marcus will definetely become a hybrid, no way to avert it.
im sure they will be enemies. markus is loyal to the vampires and has ever been. plus, he seeks revenge for amelia and viktor. im wondering if he knows what started the war ... i think he does not and maybe selene will try to tell him. but he wants to see selene dead, too.
it could be that markus will lead the vampires and michael the lycans, because i think the sympathy towards the lycans has grown throughout the movie. it also did for selene. maybe shell fight on the lycans side. im quite sure she will be the middlewoman or on the lycans side...
one thing is clear: neither michael nor selene can get back to ordoghaz, the vampire mansion.

I'm sure Marcus knows how the war started because when the Lycans blood flowed into him he got the Lycans memories. Right?

but why would it ruin the movie ? I said if they fucked it up it'd ruin it... And with the memories thing I'd say definatley, plus I think he would have already known anyways. Its just annoying they wasted Amelia in the first, so much room for development. Here's hoping Amelia plays a major role in number 3.

*I'm sure Marcus knows how the war started because when the Lycans blood flowed into him he got the Lycans memories. Right?*
yeah right, but singe was an austrian doctor dying of leucemia ... damn i forgot when... but its definetely not that long ago, maybe 0 to 200 years, i gotta check it again when i got time.
so i guess he was told waht started the war. but this way it doesnt have to be in his memories, because he never lived through it.
btw, how do you write definetely ? ive often seen it written like this, but i have seen definately, too. which is right?
so im not that sure with what memories markus will be awakened ...
yah, it was a little weak what theyve done with amelia.
well, lets see

But who trusts Microsoft? Back on topic, I just thought that in Underworld 2 the vampires will be portrayed as the 'wrong' or 'evil' ones, this saddens me greatly as this will decrease their time on screen considerabley...I hope this does not happen... I'd really like to see some crazy plot twists... -Marcus-

I hope that i can't trust my ears/eyes, cuz i found some sites saying that during an interview with Kevin Grevioux was quoted saying that "Nah. It’s not starting in the fall. Just a rumor. Unless they’re purposely keeping it from me!". I can't find the original interview (i did read it once though), but here' s a link anyways...http://www.moviehole.net/news/3282.html
Better not be true...=(
Well, i'll just keep thinking that underworld 2 is a go! =) Regarding Marcus' last post, i think that you're right. A) they're going to hunt down Selene now and B) The movie depicts the leaders (or at least just Viktor) as being some sort of cruel b@stard! But i also think that the coven is weakening and maybe it will splinter off (so far Kraven and Selen have left)...and maybe a "good/nicer" faction will break off...no? =)

I hope so too. In my random searches, i found one site which posted up a possible schedule:
Script done by April/May Filming Starts in Fall Movie out next year by late Spring
The filming shouln't be too long (they did the last one in a few weeks i beleive). Anways, not everything on the net is reliable, so my post is written in stone! (It can be moderated!! =P )

Hi all, I also heard it starts filming in Fall, at countingdown.com it was. Yeah I must agree it was dissapointing that Amelia did so little, I also would have liked to have seen more of Raze. I want to know whats going to happen with Kraven, I really liked him. I hope for the sequal (and prequal) that they have more chracter development, I just couldn't really connect with the characters in the original. Also maybe spice up the action scenes a little, I found the directing in those parts to be a little bland. However, I loved how they did the illusion of speed, especislly with Lucian, it was fantastic, unlike in Queen of the Damned which had that ridiculous shadowing effect. Overall I love Underworld, and hope the sequal will be better or at worst just as good .

I agree with the character development point. They've got a nice story, history, etc., but for example, dialogue between Michael and Selene could have been a bit more...emotional? Sometimes it seemed like they were talking to wall, but some other people had good stuff! =) (i.e, Lucian)

Yeah, I liked Lucian though it would have been nice to see him in action some more. I agree with the story bit though, very good, and it didn't just blurt it all out either, there is still alot left unknown which can be revealed in the sequals, unlike some movies who spill it all in the first film and the sequals are just mindless flicks, like the Jurassic park sequals, potential but they killed that off for brainless action (in some cases the action was boring). So overall not a bad effort for Wisemans first flick, I have seen many worse.
