Underworld 4 Starts Filming

Production is underway in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the 4th installment in the highly successful Screen Gems/Lakeshore Entertainment Underworld franchise.

Underworld 4 brings a stunning new dimension to the epic battle between Vampires and Lycans, as the first film in the franchise to shoot in 3D.

Kate Beckinsale, star of the first two films, returns in her lead role as the vampire warrioress Selene, who escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans, and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species.

India Eisley (The Secret Life of an American Teenager) plays Eve, and Michael Ealy (Sleeper Cell) plays Detective Sebastian.

Underworld 4 is helmed by Swedish directors Mans Marlind & Bjorn Stein, who co-directed the 2009 thriller Shelter starring Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Their feature credits also include the award-winning Swedish film Storm.

Producing are Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi, Len Wiseman and Richard Wright. The film's executive producers are David Kern, David Coatsworth, Henry Winterstern and Skip Williamson. The screenplay for Underworld 4 is by Len Wiseman, John Hlavin, and Allison Burnett.

The talented behind-the-scenes team includes cinematographer Scott Kevan, Genie award-winning production designer Claude Pare, Academy Award nominated costume designer Monique Prudhomme, and editor Jeff McEvoy.
