Underworld 3 Ups the Production Budget

Rhona Mitra

With high paid hottie Kate Beckinsale gone, what does Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans do with all the money? Well apparently, first they bought a colon and called this movie Rise of the Lycans.

Secondly, they picked up Beckinsale doppleganger Rhona Mitra (hot!) and plopped down some serious change on production values. Apparently we’re going to get some sweet sets and sexy vampire armor, but don’t take my word for it, read below:

“We can confirm that the production values of sets and costumes are extremely high, the story is bold and the pedigree is pure,” they say. “The sets are immense… Cool things to get excited about are new and sexy vampire armour, Mitra in kickass form, big battles and a bold and brutal style to the film that pays homage to the original flicks, but takes the Underworld saga into new territory.”

Sounds pretty bad-ass. I can’t say I’m a fan of either Underworld flicks all that much, but medieval werewolves whipping ass on some armored vampires sounds like it’ll be pretty nice. The success of this film is up in the air though, with key cast members gone and a bold new, though apparently violent, direction for the franchise.

Stay tuned for more. In the mean time, I’ll mourn the absence of Beckinsale by staring at her pictures on the internet for a few hours.

I was a body double for Kevin Grevioux on UnderWorld 3 here in NZ. I believe it’s gonna be a great movie, probably better than the first 2. Cheers
