Looks like the day has finally arrived in which Kate Beckinsale no longer has to squeeze into a dominatrix outfit (nothing wrong with that) to play the gun-toting vampire, Selene. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lakeshore Entertainment has decided to reboot their very lucrative Underworld franchise. They've hired Cory Goodman to pen the reboot. Goodman is responsible for writing Paul Bettany's Priest (2011) and Vin Diesel's upcoming film, The Last Witch Hunter, which is current in production. 

The first Underworld film, directed by Len Wiseman and starring Kate Beckinsale, was released in 2003. Playing the strong vampiress Selena made Beckinsale into a bankable action star, and three films followed in 2006 (Underworld: Evolution), 2009 (prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) and 2012 (Underworld: Awakening).

Why reboot? Can't they continue on from the previous movies and move on from that? I don't want Kate Beckinsale to be replaced!

I always thought this franchise had the potential to be something great. Great concept, but poorly executed.

I'm down for this reboot.

How about studios start putting their time, effort, and resources in some original projects rather than old, unwanted, and just as risky properties?

Why? The Underworld series established a great mythology, really don't want to see it replaced/wiped away. Plus Awakening left it open for a sequel and I really wanted to see what would happen

Kate Beckinsale is perfect.

I guess they ran out of idea to end the underworld story, so they took a shortcut and just say let's reboot it instead

FAILED

Also Kate Beckinsale was one of the main reasons why the underworld movies were so successful

I liked the Underworld movies I thought they had good story arcs but other than that and Kate Beckinsale there was nothing really enjoyable about them to me.

I've never seen any of these films. They all look like generic stylized Hollywood bullshit.

They should just make a sequel about her hybrid daughter. I liked the Underworld series. It was far from perfect but I always found it really compelling because I was never sure who to root for vamps or lycans. I also have a lot if appreciation for how they never backed off their R rating just so they could get higher box office numbers.
