The Fourth Underworld Movie Is Still a Thing That Exists
Yes, Underworld: Awakening is still a thing that’s happening, as clearly evidenced by this new TV spot. About the only thing I remember from the previous clips and trailers is Kate Beckinsale’s leather-clad buttocks slinking down the ventilation shaft — which this new TV spot also includes, as if it was a key part of the movie’s marketing or something — so I was vaguely surprised to see the giant werewolf in there (I refuse to call it a “Lycan”). Not that I think it’s going to pose much of a danger for Kate. After all, the bigger the werewolf, the bigger the nards. That just stands to reason.
