From Len Wiseman, creator of the blockbuster film series Underworld and Underworld: Evolution comes a third film that explores the origins
of the ancient blood feud, in Columbia Pictures' fantasy thriller Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.
For untold centuries, a secret conflict has been waged between two immortal rivals: vampires and werewolves.
The vampires are ageless aristocrats with a sensual appetite for blood and
luxury. Among their ranks are the Death Dealers, an elite corps of the undead
sworn to the destruction of their ancestral enemies.
On the other side of the rivalry are the werewolves or lycans--feral warriors
capable of transforming into hellish beasts of unearthly power and
ferocity. Once the faithful servants of the vampires, the savage lycans
now fight tooth and claw against their former masters.
In the film, a young Lycan, Lucian (Michael
Sheen), emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise
up against Viktor (Bill Nighy),
the cruel vampire king who has persecuted them for hundreds of years. Lucian is
joined by his secret lover, the beautiful vampire Sonja (Rhona Mitra), in his battle to free
the Lycans from their brutal enslavement.
Opening soon across the Philippines, Underworld:
Rise of the Lycans is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of
Sony Pictures Releasing International.
