Underworld Box Set Comes to DVD

Underworld the box set is coming to DVD Jan 13th. The big highlight is you will get free movie money for the new third film Underworld Rise of the Lycans. I love it when studios do this especially when I do not already own both films. This is the kind of incentive that we as fans should ALWAYS get.

UNDERWORLD / UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION DOUBLE FEATURE arrives on DVD this January 13, 2009, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.  Timed with the theatrical release of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, the latest chapter in the hit Underworld saga, this DVD set includes Underworld 2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition and Underworld: Evolution Special Edition, both starring Kate Beckinsale (Vacancy, Click) and Scott Speedman (The Strangers). Sure to entice fans old and new, the UNDERWORLD / UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION DOUBLE FEATURE includes an exclusive sneak peek of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, as well as e-Movie Cash for the film’s 1/23/09 theatrical release.

UNDERWORLD Synopsis In UNDERWORLD, Vampires are a secret clan of modern aristocratic sophisticates whose mortal enemies are the Lycans, a shrewd gang of street thugs who prowl the city's underbelly. No one knows the origin of their bitter blood feud, but the balance of power between them turns even bloodier when a beautiful young Vampire warrior and a newly-turned Lycan with a mysterious past fall in love. Kate Beckinsale (Vacancy, Click) and Scott Speedman (The Strangers, My Life Without Me) star in this modern-day, action-packed tale of ruthless intrigue and forbidden passion; all set against the dazzling backdrop of a timeless, Gothic metropolis. Directed by Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard), UNDERWORLD is rated R for strong violence/gore and some language. It has a run time of 121 minutes.
