Underworld: Evolution
It took a college buddy to finally convince me
to watch the original Underworld about a year or so back. Though
a Kate Beckinsale
sporting tight black leather already intrigued me, I didn't want another
film that would further pick apart the vampire genre. Luckily, I enjoyed
this film immensely during my first viewing on DVD and have watched Underworld
on a couple other occasions since.
Just in time too, as the sequel, Underworld
Evolution, is ready to take theatres by storm this coming
holiday. However, will the film live up to the hype?
Underworld Evolution Teaser Trailer
Sony has recently released the first trailer for
Underworld Evolution about the continuing battle between the Lycans
and the Death Eaters. Though my first impression of the trailer is that
this sequel has the ability to be pretty insane, I am just hoping that Sony
and Len Wiseman aren't getting a little too carried away with this film.
There were parts during the action where I thought I was watching a mix
of Charlie's Angels, Blade: Trinity and Van Helsing.
Fortunately, I was able to shake that feeling off by the end of the trailer
and cannot wait to see what Sony has to show by the time the full trailer
hits the internet. Yes, this teaser trailer for Underworld Evolution
does show a ton of scenes from the film.

Besides the trailer, Sony has also recently pushed
the release date for Underworld Evolution back from December 2nd, 2005,
to January 20th, 2006. A while back we commented on the proposed release
date for the film, as it directly clashed with another female hero in Aeon
Flux. Though it looks like Aeon Flux may have
one the battle, the film has not won the war.
Underworld: Evolution is the fourth most popular upcoming film
on CanMag.Com, further proof that this sequel does have an established fan
base.
