Kate Beckinsale's UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS Gets Pushed To 2017
To avoid one Tom Cruise film, Screen Gems & Lakeshore Entertainment have pushed their upcoming Underworld sequel to early 2017 where it will face-off against another Tom Cruise film! Come check it out!
Variety has learned that Screen Gems & Lakeshore Entertainment have decided to shift their upcoming horror sequel Underworld: Blood Wars from its October 2016 release date to January 6, 2017.
The film was previously slated to release October 14 of this year, but considering how crowded October already is with the releases of The Girl On The Train (October 7), The Accountant (October 14), Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (October 21), & Inferno (October 28) taking up the four big weekends, it's not all that surprising the Anna Foerster-directed sequel decided to move to a month where the franchise has historically performed quite well. It will now open the same day as the Tom Cruise-starrer Mena and Amityville: The Awakening.
Kate Beckinsale (Love & Friendship) will reprise her role as the Vampire Death Dealer Selene and Theo James (Divergent) will return as David. They'll be joined by Trent Garrett (All My Children), who is taking over the role of Michael Corvin from Scott Speedman, Tobias Menzies (Outlander), Lara Pulver (Edge of Tomorrow), Clementine Nicholson, Bradley James (iZombie), Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), and James Faulkner (Da Vinci's Demons).
