Another "Underworld?" Okay.

Below, the trailer for "Underworld: Awakening," aka "Underworld: Part 4," aka "Len Wiseman Presents: Yeah, I'm Hittin' That - Part 3." Basic premise this time around? It's "Futurama" (or "Idiocracy") but with Kate Beckinsale's leather-clad vampiress as the time-displaced hero.



I'm kind of embarassingly fond of the "Underworld" movies, which benefit from a pretty novel (and dense) approach to the vampire/werewolf mythology and are unique in that they do so without having been based on some previously-written material.

Apparently the vampires and lycans are on the same side now, fighting againt the human race that has previously been played as largely ignorant of the centuries-old monster-war going on in it's margins (hence the title.)Unfathomably gorgeous actress in a pleather-onesie doing a lucha-libre scissor-kick move on an 8-foot practical-effect werewolf? That'll work.
