Kate Beckinsale has told IESB at the press junket for her new film Snow Angels that she won’t be making a cameo appearance in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Beckinsale played the character of Selene in Underworld (2003) and Underworld: Evolution (2006), both directed by her husband Len Wiseman.
The British actress didn’t rule out a return to the series entirely though, joking that she might ‘pull a Bruce Willis’ and return to her character at 50.
Underworld 3: The Rise of the Lycans stars Michael Sheen (Blood Diamond), Bill Nighy (Hot Fuzz) and Rhona Mitra (The Number 23) with Underworld creator Len Wiseman producing alongside Lakeshore’s Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi and Skip Williamson.
The prequel story, written by Danny McBride, will trace 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.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
