Kate Beckinsale Back In 3D Action
The new trailer for Underworld: Awakening 3D is here with Kate Beckinsale returning to give the franchise a much needed shot of adrenaline, dispensing her own brand of blade throwing and gun blazing justice – while wearing those stunning form fitting outfits.
This time we’re offered a bit more of the story which focuses on a young hybrid girl who seems to be the key to the war between humans vs. vampires vs. werewolves. Selene awakens from a 12-year cryogenic imprisonment, to find that humanity is on the offensive and must try to keep the young girl alive long enough so that she can play her part. The fourth flick in the Underworld series seems to have a new spin that has less to do with revisiting the mythos that permeated the third flick, instead offering a new premise where things have radically changed for these supernatural beings.
While story retreads are hallmarks of franchise fatigue, this new spin may resonate with fans, and coupled with Kate Beckinsale’s return and the prospect of cutting edge 3D glossy visuals – this could be what’s needed to capture the imagination and kick off the beginning of a proposed new trilogy.
Underworld: Awakening opens in 3D on January 20, 2012.
