The Beckinsale-less "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" Prequel Gets a Trailer

Can't say I was too impressed by the previous two Underworld films. The first was particularly disappointing because of all the promise it had, while the second was easier to enjoy once you accepted that this is what the series was and there wasn't much of a chance of it getting any better.

Point in case, the latest Underworld film, sub-titled Rise of the Lycans. Yes, it's a prequel. No, it doesn't have Kate Beckinsale in it. Yes, it looks extremely bland and unexciting. No, Rhona Mitra is not an acceptable substitute for eye-candy over Kate Beckinsale. Yes, she is still hot though. No, I wouldn't want to do that thing you do with your finger in bed with her. Pervert.

You can also the trailer in HD at Apple.

I'm not sure if many other people will notice this, but if you find yourself wondering why the first half of the trailer feels vaguely familiar, it's probably because you heard that same music used on the trailer for a movie that came out just last week, Max Payne. Personally, I liked it better in that trailer.
