Underworld 2 Movie Update

The second film will also delve into the characters past much more. Almost a prequel of sorts is what it sounds like. "I think the real intense followers of the whole saga will really, really love the second one. It's very intricate. It gives Selene's history, Viktor's history and then of course now Marcus is going to come out of the crypt. So it's really cool. I'm excited about it."

Apparently they want to add more action to the film. I actually thought the first films weakness was too much action.  "It's much bigger action but still, we have to keep the coolness of it and not let the action overwhelm it. I like the whole world that's created and you have to stay within that world. I don't want to jam mindless nonstop action at the audience and this is going to still be story driven. But we're going to have cool sequences and some bigger action, but if you do that on a sequel, and that's what often happens, what's the point? This story is better. This story is more intricate and more interesting. That's what I really like about it."

With the first films sucess they have been able to pay the actors more. No word on who is going to back yet but I would bet a pretty penny that Kate Beckinsale will be back.
