Shield Writer Tapped for Underworld 4
I’ve seen all three Underworld movies and I’m still not really sure if I like them or not, but apparently someone out there does because production is moving along on a fourth installment in the seemingly never-ending Vampire/Werewolf war.
THR’s Heat Vision Blog is reporting that the fourth film now has a screenwriter: John Hlavin. If that name isn’t familiar to you, you’ve seen his work if you ever watched FX’s The Shield.
Details about the new film are being kept quiet, but Hlavin did offer up this tidbit. “I can tell you it’s not a prequel. It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that we don’t want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements.“
I’ll tell ya what would excite me–Vic Mackey showing up to pop some caps in vampire and werewolf asses. If that happened, no one would even care if it was a remake, a prequel, or if Kate Beckinsale was coming back. Let’s all cross our fingers and hope this comes to pass.

“I’m still not really sure if I like them or not, but apparently someone out there does”–I’m the guilty party.

I can say unabashedly that I like the Underworld series. Now I wasn’t crazy about the werewolves running up walls in the the first movie, but I love the premise of a war between vampires and werewolves. I like the idea of a hybrid, and I like seeing hot women in black pvc blow shit up. I’m all for a continuation of the series.
