Third trip into Underworld

The sequel to the $100 million worldwide hit, "Underworld: Evolution" continues the saga of war between the aristocratic Death Dealers and the barbaric Lycans (werewolves).

Of course there isn't actually a script yet, just a big collection of ideas. Whether or not he writes a script will depend in part on how audiences react to the second movie 'Underworld Evolution' once it's released this coming January.

'Underworld 2' is a little more expensive, but Wiseman and his team are probably hoping for more of the same sort of modest, yet profitable success.
