Underworld Evolution Trailer
I've said this before... I wasn't thrilled with the first Underworld movie... but it had enough going for it and good enough backstory and style that a sequel was something I'd be interested in. Well... now a trailer has surfaced.
It seems Underworld Evolution picks up right about where the first Underworld left off. The one last remaining Vampire Elder, Marcus, awakes and is bent on creating a new spiecies of vampires crossed with werewolves. Only Kate Beckinsale and some ancient powerful Werewolf that she imprisoned decades ago can stop him. Sounds interesting.
If they can maintain the beautiful style of the first one and clean up a bunch in the story telling department, then I think we're in for a lot of fun. The trailer isn't fantastic... but it's certainly solid. You can see the trailer for Underworld Evolution here.

I never saw the first one. Which one should I rent: Theatrical or Director's Cut?

Kate Beckinsale in that outfit..mmmmm..sacrilicious. I did enjoy the first one, and the visual effects look a little better, especially for the werewolves. In the trailer, I was waiting for Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing to pop out and join the fight.
Wampachow, the extended version is better. It's about 12 munutes longer than the theatrical release and more extras.

I'm in! The first one was enjoyable despite the weak storytelling. I actually enjoyed it more the 2nd and 3rd time I saw it.
Wampachow - the directors cut might not be much longer, but I like it better.

Underworld is one of my favorite vampire movies. I love how they've created a full history/mythology to back the storyline. I can't wait for Evolution.

The trailer definitely looks entertaining. The first movie was the same. And of course Kate's cuteness totally justifies the movie ticket price nowadays.
wampachow - Rent the normal, no need for Director's cut.
