"Every war has a beginning."
The third film of the Underworld franchise delves into the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires, known as Death Dealers, and the barbaric Lycans (werewolves).
A young Lycan, Lucian (Michael Sheen), emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Bill Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has persecuted them for hundreds of years.
Lucian is joined by his secret lover, the beautiful vampire Sonja (Rhona Mitra), in his battle to free the Lycans from enslavement.
Fact : A lifelong comic book fan, Len Wiseman built a career that can only be described as every geek’s dream come true – coming seemingly out of nowhere to co-create and direct a highly successful film franchise that pitted – joy of joys! – vampires against werewolves.
Note : Bill Nighy returns in the role of Viktor, the lead vampire of the “Underworld” movie series, in “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.” Nighy, a vampire fan, never dreamed he’d be stepping back into the character for a third time, but he’s happy to be back playing Viktor in this prequel to the “Underworld” films.
Star(s) to watch : Rhona Mitra (”Shooter”, “Hollow Man”, “Highwaymen”) as Sonja, Michael Sheen (”Kingdom of Heaven”) as Lucian, & Bill Nighy (”Pirates of the Caribbean”, “Shaun of the Dead”, “Hot Fuzz”, “Valkyrie”) as Viktor.
