When it was announced that Kate Beckinsale would be reprising her role as Selene in the fourth installment of the Underworld franchise, the eyes of fan boys (and some fan girls) everywhere lit up with glee. Surprisingly, Kate says she was surprised herself that she would be coming back to the franchise, which was originally imagined as a trilogy.
"When people asked if I was going to do another one, I had said no," Beckinsale said. "Because the plan was always to do a trilogy with a planned prequel, which I knew I wasn't going to be in. So I really didn’t think I was going to be in another one."
When Beckinsale, who is currently shooting the remake to Total Recall did opt to sign on as one of the baddest action vampire heroines once more, she did admit she was hesitant about the fact that fourquels never pan out to be great additions to a film franchise.
"I was a bit nervous about number four," Beckinsale said. "When I was growing up, anything with the number four was straight-to-video. I think that is what most people feel. But I think there a number of films now that actually work. If we were going to do it again we didn’t want to carry on straight from the second one. I guess once all the ideas started coming in and the concept was so different. What would happen if the Underworld was not quite under anymore? It seemed like an interesting thing to do. And it was in 3-D which I have never done before."
All I know is they better explain why Michael isn't in Underworld: Awakening otherwise there will be hell to pay. Underworld Awakening, which was shot in Real 3D will be in theaters January, 2012.
