News > Kate Beckinsale back third 'Underworld'??

Kate Beckinsale will be back in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans sort of.  According to ShockTillYouDrop the threequel will open and close with Selene (as played by Kate Beckinsale) but the footage is from Len Wiseman's 2003 footage and will be used as a bookend to this prequel.

Info came from a crew member during a viewing of the new prequel down in Luma Pictures with director Patrick Tatopoulos.

The prequel story traces the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires known as Death Dealers and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian (Sheen) emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, Sonja (Mitra), in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his struggle for Lycan freedom.
