Underworld 2 Free Of Marital Strife

Kate Beckinsale, who stars as the vampire death-dealer Selene in the upcoming sequel film Underworld: Evolution, told SCI FI Wire that she didn't have any trouble working with husband and director Len Wiseman, whom she met on the first film. "I'm not [as] scared of him now as I was," Beckinsale said in an interview on the set in Vancouver, B.C., last January.

"That's a shame," Wiseman said in the same interview after Beckinsale admitted her lack of fear. "Actually, there's no intimidation factor, unfortunately. To be honest, it's fantastic, because there's a lot of stuff that you're kind of nervous about that you can't really discuss with your actress. ... It's more comfortable, and you can have discussions about certain things where you're not nervous about how they're going to take your comment."

Beckinsale added that the two of them are actually enjoying the benefits of working together, which means spending less time apart. "We get to be in the same country," she said. "It's quite difficult conducting a relationship in this business, where you're separated for months and months. And so [the fact] that we were both able to work and were able to actually sleep in the same bed is a miraculous treat. So that's really fun. We haven't had any big fights or anything like that, so the crew still likes us." Underworld: Evolution, also starring Scott Speedman, Bill Nighy and Derek Jacobi, opens Jan. 20, 2006.

I liked the first one, but wasn't too impressed by it. It was clearly inspired by the Matrix, which in itself was great, but was also derived from. Derivation upon derivation kind of weakened it. It was all-in-all fun though; I'll probably watch the sequel at some point, but I doubt it will be in cinema. I'm more looking forward to Nightwatch.

She probably meant the fighting styles and the way it was filmed. The first movie was alright, I hope this one is better though. I just watched the trailer on Yahoo and it looks like it'll be about how the whole battle started between the two (lycans/vampires).

Matrix/Underworld. The visual style. Highly stylised, very modern, but with touches of classic, with leather and all. I mean, just look at the cover alone... I'm sure you'll understand what I mean.
