I completely missed any details on a third “Underworld” movie being in the works, but sure enough it is. The bad news is that Kate Beckinsale won’t be back again. The good news is that the very sexy Rhona Mitra will be taking over.

“Underworld 3: Journey Into The Unnecessary” (which may not be its actual title) won’t be a continuation of the previous installments, but rather is backing up as a prequel. Seems like a good idea as they’ve kinda run the course for what they could really keep doing w/ Kate at the helm.

Bill Nighy returns as evil vampire king Viktor and will help reveal the origins of the feud between vampires and werewolves. Mitra has never really broken out big and this film probably won’t force the issue, but I think she was a good choice for the replacement.

Underworld 3 bites its way into theaters in January 2009.
