Ever since the release of the original Underworld in 2003 I have been mildly obsessed with the Vampire & Lycan world that Len Wiseman created. I have been an avid vampire movie fan for a while and Underworld was, in my opinion, the epitomy of the cool vampire flick. The art direction, special effects and gruesome violence caught my eye and the story, characters and acting got me hooked. It also helps that Kate Beckinsale is one of my all-time favorite actresses. Suffice to say I enjoyed the sequel, Underworld Evolution, just as much as the first and was excited to see that a third was in the making in the form of a prequel.

To my surprise I woke up this morning and watched a few online trailers via Apple’s trailer page and proceeded to watch the Underworld 3 trailer. What was suprising was the relaes date that flashed on the screen at the end of the preview. January 23. Here I was settling into waiting for a movie that I assumed would be a Summer flick and it it just around the corner. You can be sure I will be seeing it, most likely opening night. Adam, the other C&F writer, makes fun of me for how obsessed I am about these movies but I chalk it now up to being one of my Fanboy films I am allowed to geek out over while still retaining my Cinesnobbery with other films.
