Am a fanatic of Underworld movies but I think that Underworld 3 without Kate Beckinsale, is just not going to work she was the main. And I don't know if you guys remember in the last Underworld movie she now can see the sun, whats next! mmm no one can do better this movie that her. But is still early to comment about this movie will see SOON!!!

I agree with chico, I don't think it will be as good as the first two films without Kate.

I am excited to see the life before, I loved Lucian so I am excited! But I still agree that they should make a fourth with Kate and what happens next with her.

I'm exited that it's a prequel with lucian, viktor and raze. There is one problem why is there almost no news or pictures or more cast info they should start with it.

I think,movie about history of War beetwen Vampires and Lycans it's good idea , but they have to make a fourth film with Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman about their end.
Sorry my english is a few BAD.

Prequels are never as big as their predecessors, they just never do as well! Also an Underworld movie without Kate Beckinsale is just wrong! LISTEN TO THE FANS !!!!!!

I agree that i am sure it will be interesting but not as good without selena and Michael. Their story is not finished and to jump back to before them just doesn't make sense. Hopefully they will change their mind and try to maybe bring the stories together like they did before.

NO!!!!! kate beckinsale that sucks but the movie will be great but without kate beckinsale it sucks because she is the main character or they will put a little scene that it will explain her back story. They butter make a fourth movie or am going to be ****ing piss!!! I like underworld I like her character but kate beckinsale she is so HOT!!!!!!!!!! So they butter make a fourth movie. But even without kate beckinsale in the third film it will be great.
