Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
The film traces the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires known as "Death Dealers" and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor, the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, Sonja, in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his struggle for Lycan freedom.

Creator Len Wiseman spoke to iFMagazine recently, where he answered a couple questions about the film. When asked about what fans can expect, here's what he had to say: "The third film is going to be a prequel. It will be the origin story and we find out things we didn’t know about Lucian; he’ll have a much bigger part in it. It will be about the creation [of the races] and what started the war. It will be a period piece. In terms of the writing, a lot of the writing has been done. We’ve been developing UNDERWORLD 3 for a while. I won’t be directing UNDERWORLD 3; I’m just going to be producing and writing."
According to earlier reports wife and actress Kate Beckinsale was supposedly not going to have a role in the film, but it looks like she may return as Selene after all... "It will be in the time period before, but it will overlap into the creation of her as well. We’re in the process of seeing how far we go with that."
