Some franchises never stop. Even after rounding off the trilogy with a prequel earlier this year, it’s not so surprising that the Underworld series is reportedly set to pop out another film during the current pop-culture vampire craze.
According to ShockTillYouDrop.com’s exclusive, Sony’s Screen Gems is planning to make a fourth installment in the Underworld franchise… and it’s going to be in 3D.

There are no details yet on who will star in the film or what the movie will be about but I’d expect we’d see at least some franchise familiars return. They’ve done a great job so far of tying the films together and bringing back characters big and small to tell each story. Could we get another Kate Beckinsale-Scott Speedman team-up or perhaps some more Michael Sheen prequel action? Maybe it’ll be neither.
What I’m afraid of is the fact that they’re doing this in 3D. That screams gimmick to me and I feel that’s the only reason they’re making it at this point. It could have little to do with the other installments and may bring back none of the main characters we know from the franchise.
I hope that’s not the case as I have my fun with the Underworld movies. I’m fine with seeing more as long as there’s some story to tell and we’re treated to some cool action. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans served its purpose as a prequel and played out exactly as expected, although it was nothing special.
Len Wiseman produced all three films so far and directed the first two, with Patrick Tatopoulos having directed this year’s prequel. Expect Wiseman to again produce.
Screen Rant will get back to you with more Underworld updates as soon as they come.
What do you think of another Underworld movie and where/when do you think it’ll take place? Who’d you like to see be in it?
This fourth Underworld movie is aiming for a January 2011 release.

@vic
porn in 3D must have rules, like the male CANNOT face the camera, don’t need any eyes poked out, lol.
Gives your point of you hating when 3D movies have things flying toward you a whole new meaning huh??
@Vic
Ugh. Would you REALLY want to watch porn in 3D? Think about it for a minute.
Ick.
Your right Vic,yuck!
It would be a movie that would require not only special 3-D glasses but also a raincoat.
@BloodSucking Leech
I’m a HUGE breast fan OO :p
@ Ken J,
The three Underworld movies were made on budgets ranging from $22-35 million and each banked between $90-115 million – that’s just box office. They made a bunch of DVDs and such too I’m sure.
They’re quick and inexpensive to make and now with a brand name, adding 3D, and hopefully bringing back some of the main characters from before, it’s a guaranteed money maker.
@ 790, I’d work for a movie like that – Send me the script when you’re done
@Rob
$22-35 million to make??? WOW… I take it all back, definitely make a 4th, I won’t watch it, but that’s just good business right there…
Rob you can play one of the local cops. I have the perfect part for you.
Also,,,I’ve heard that the 3D glasses for Underworld 4 are going to be all red on account the Underworld films all utilize heavy blue color filtration.
Maybe that’s just a rumor.
@ Vic and KenJ
Some people need to be all up on it or shudder, try to insert themselves into the 3D porno.
Not everything needs to be in 3-D. And why make a Underworld 4? Goodness give it a break.
Yeah a bit far with a number 4 calm it down guys! Your gonna need a bloody brilliant story and brutal fights!
Anywho what is up with your guys and 3D PORN! ahahaha
@LikeItMuch – Cash cow waiting to be milked my friend…cash cow! Had a friend tell me once that he’d watch a monkey poop if it was in 3-D and HD.
