24 November 2009 12:22 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Were you a fan of Kate Beckinsale and her black leather getup in Underworld? If so, you ought to enjoy the latest clip from the new vampiric horror-comedy Transylmania.
Synopsis
Located deep in the heart of the "cursed land" of Transylvania in a centuries-old castle, Razvan University isn't your typical institution of higher learning -- and the black leather-clad professors, three-foot-tall dean, instruction in crucifix-wielding, and topless vampiresses lurking in dark corners are just the start.

'Underworld' Gets New Writing Blood
22 November 2009 9:05 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
A veteran TV writer has been hired to re-energize the 'Underworld' franchise.
John Hlavin, who has written for TV shows including The Shield and Daybreak, and is currently developing a Western screenplay called The Gunslinger at Warner Bros., has been hired to write the fourth Underworld film, according to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog.
The series revolves around an ongoing war between vampires and werewolves, although the last installment was a prequel. Hlavin would not disclose the plot of the next film, but said it definitely will not go the prequel route. "It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that we don't want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements," he said.
Honoring what longtime Underworld "fans have loved" might mean bringing back Kate Beckinsale, »
John Hlavin to write 'Underworld 4'
22 November 2009 3:34 PM, PST | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
John Hlavin, whose credits include "The Shield" and "Trust Me," is on board to write "Underworld 4," the latest installment in the popular series that began with Len Wiseman's "Underworld" in 2003.
Hlavin told Heat Vision that plot details will remain secret for a while. However, he said "Underworld 4" won't be a prequel. "It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences...," he said.
Kate Becksinale said last year she probably won't return for another film. Her appearance in a fourth film has been rumored for a while though, but no official deals are in place at this stage. »

"Shield" Scribe Pens Fourth ""Underworld"
22 November 2009 2:22 PM, PST | www.ohmygore.com/ | See recent OhMyGore news »
"The Shield" writer John Hlavin will pen the script for a fourth "Underworld" at Screen Gems and Lakeshore Entertainment reports Heat Vision. While Hlavin won't give away details on the storyline, he does confirm it's not a prequel and it should "introduce fresh elements" as the filmmakers don't want to redo the first three films. No director or stars like Kate Beckinsale, Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen or Rhona Mitra have signed to return. Len Wiseman, Gary Lucchesi, Tom Rosenberg and Richard Wright are producing.... »
'Underworld 4' Hires 'Shield' Writer, No Word on Kate
21 November 2009 5:05 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
In January 2011, the Underworld franchise will try once again to make a good movie, which has proven difficult since the first one, which got plenty of mileage out of Kate Beckinsale in a bodysuit. Even as loud as the third movie was, it still put me to sleep. Literally. And whenever that happens, which isn't often, it's always the movie's fault.
I might not have been the only one, as it turns out, because Underworld 3: No, That's Not Kate Beckinsale was not the success the first two movies were. Still, with vampires back in vogue - particularly when combined with werewolves - Screen Gems really has nothing to lose by dipping in the well once again. To that end, John Hlavin (The Shield) has been brought in to right part four, with or without Beckinsale, who The Hollywood Reporter reveals has not signed anything to return.
Even still, Hlavin »

New 'Underworld 4' Writer On Board
21 November 2009 1:24 AM, PST | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »
So not only is another "Underworld" installment in the works, but the film's already found a writer! What? I wasn't even aware they were making a fourth film. Of course, "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" did far better than anyone expected, particularly with the absence of Kate Beckinsale. According to reports, the next entry will be written by the "The Shield" scribe John Hlavin. While he wouldn't reveal any details about the upcoming movie, he did make it quite clear that it wouldn't be a prequel. "It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that we don't want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements." Original "Underworld" director, Len Wiseman, is on board as producer yet the film has yet to find a director. We'll keep you posted.

Writer Hired For Underworld 4
20 November 2009 3:44 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The Shield was one of those acclaimed and beloved TV series that had its own audience for sure, but thanks to a spot on cable, didn't exactly blow up into the mainstream the way it might have. But since the show has wrapped, at least, the people behind it have been moving on to even bigger things. John Hlavin, a writer for the series, has signed on to write the screenplay for the fourth Underworld film. According to THR, Hlavin is pretty much the only person attached at this point. The director of the first two films, Len Wiseman, is so far only on board as a producer, and Kate Beckinsale-- incidentally, the director's wife-- isn't sure what she's doing either. Hlavin promised THR that "it's not a prequel, and added, "It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that we don't want to redo the first »
Underworld 4 Gets a Shield of Sorts
20 November 2009 11:13 AM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
The fourth installment in the Underworld series -- whose quality you readers seem to be divided over -- now has a writer and it's none other than John Hlavin from The Shield. With no one yet signed to direct, and neither Kate Beckinsale or Rhona Mitra (from the third film) attached to star, everything about this project seems to be up in the air. The only things we can confirm so far, is that Len Wiseman, who directed the first two films, will produce, and that the movie is not a prequel. Said, Hlavin,"It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that we don't want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements." Judging by this statement, it seems like the fourth movie will launch a whole new group of characters and storyline. »
‘Underworld 4′ scores a writer, still no word on Kate Beckinsale
20 November 2009 11:03 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Underworld 4 still doesn’t have a star attached (no Kate Beckinsale (Underworld, Underworld: Evolution) or Rhona Mitra (prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) but it does have a writer.
Screen Gems has tapped The Shield writer John Hlavin to write the script for the fourth entry in the Underworld series. Want to know what Underworld 4 will be about? Keep waiting.
“I can tell you it’s not a prequel,” Hlavin said. “It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that we don’t want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements.”
The 3D project is still without a director but is still on track for a January 2011 release.

Underworld 4 might actually be good!
20 November 2009 9:26 AM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
The Underworld series has been on a steady decline since the first film, but I now find myself in the strange predicament of being very interested in the fourth film. THR tells us John Hlavin, who previously wrote for “The Shield” has just been hired to write the fourth installment in Screen Gems/Lakeshore’s “Underworld” franchise.
Len Wiseman directed the first two films in the series and will be producing the as-of-yet unnamed film. Gary Lucchesi, Tom Rosenberg and Richard Wright of Lakeshore will also be producing.
So far the fourth film has no director or stars attached but I think the foundation of a good movie is the writer. The Shield has gotten rave reviews and I’ll be interested to see if Hlavin can bring some of the magic of The Shield to this sagging franchise.
Hlavin said the plot is under wraps, “but I can tell »

Underworld 4 Gets a Writer from The Shield
20 November 2009 9:12 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Writer John Hlavin has been around the block. He's written several episodes of The Shield, the incredibly popular FX show, and episodes of Trust Me, the recently canceled TNT drama. But none of that will compare with the watchful eyes that will be upon his next project, as he signs on to pen the fourth installment in the Underworld franchise for Screen Gems and Lakeshore Entertainment. The fourth film -- which still does not have a director attached -- is "not a prequel," says Hlavin, who according to Heat Vision is keeping the plot under wraps. "It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences," he added. "Meaning that we don't want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements."

Underworld 4 Gets a Writer, But Still Lacks a British-Accented Heroine Babe
20 November 2009 7:44 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
With a fourth “Underworld” entry already greenlit by the studio, the biggest question on everyone’s mind (or at least, everyone who thinks werewolves and vampires fighting in a gothic setting with dark-blue scenery is awesome, anyway) is whether either of the franchise’s two British heroines will return in the leading role. Will it be Kate Beckinsale once again, as rumored, or her replacement Rhona Mitra? According to this latest report, it might be neither. Or possibly both. Okay, so I made the last part up, but one can dream, can’t one? What is a sure thing, though, is that a writer has been assigned to pen the fourth movie in former “The Shield” scribe John Hlavin. The writer has confirmed that “Underworld 4″ will not be a prequel like the previous entry, and he added this: “It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that »

A Fourth Installment of Underworld is Apparently Necessary
20 November 2009 7:15 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
After the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale decided not to return for the third installment of even more vampire / werewolf battles in the Underworld series, I thought that it'd at least become a straight-to-dvd franchise, if not fall into oblivion. But apparently Beckinsale's replacement Rhona Mitra got the job done to the tune of $91 million internationally, so the series will continue as THR's Heat Vision announces that John Hlavin (writer for the FX series "The Shield") will take on scripting responsibilities for a fourth installment of the franchise, but neither Mitra nor Beckinsale are attached, and the project is still in need of a director. Hlavin wouldn't give up any plot details, but he did say "I can tell you it's not a prequel.

Underworld 4 Gets a Screenwriter
20 November 2009 6:07 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
THR reports that former Shield writer John Hlavin will write the screenplay for Underworld 4. The fourth installment in the franchise is supposedly going to be shot in 3-D and will set up another trilogy of Underworld movies. Hlavin wouldn't say too much about the plot, but he did note that "it's not a prequel."
It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that we don't want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements.
Len Wiseman, director of the first two Underworlds will produce, while neither Kate Beckinsale, who starred in Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, nor Rhona Mitra, who starred in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, are signed on to return. However, Beckinsale has said that she could be interested in returning if she liked the script.

Underworld 4 hires a Shield staffer
20 November 2009 12:21 AM, PST | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
The makers of the Underworld franchise are serious about continuing the war between lycans and death dealers on. Producers Gary Lucchesi, Tom Rosenberg and Richard Wright, as well as original Underworld director Len Wiseman, have hired John Hlavin to pen the story for movie #4. Hlavin served as a story editor on The Shield, the cop procedural series that starred Michael Chiklis. Hlavin also worked on shows like Daybreak, E-Ring and Lax, so he's not a newbie to the scene.
But it might shape up that the next Underworld movie won't have any of the stars associated with the first three films. In short, there may be no Kate Beckinsale and no Rhona Mitra since there's no signed contracts for either actress. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the writer told the outlet that Underworld 4 won't be a prequel like Rise of the Lycans. "It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, »

Shield Writer John Hlavin to Pen the 4th Underworld Movie
19 November 2009 10:05 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
We’re getting another Underworld movie and there’s no way around it. I dropped out after the first movie, but it did teach me a valuable lesson: Kate Beckinsale in black leather spandex wielding two guns does not a good movie make. Also (and I fail to understand this in New Moon as well), why are werewolves and vampires fighting? I know that there’s some back story explaining it but what makes these two groups inherently in conflict as opposed to any other monster?
Maybe John Hlavin, a writer on The Shield, which is one of my all-time favorite shows, can explain it to me, or at least bring me back to the series. Thankfully, Hlavin says he aims to do just that (while not alienating the precious fans who must be appeased lest the world suffer their wrath). Hit the jump for details and wonder if you »

Len Wiseman, who directed the first two films in the vampire-vs.-werewolf saga, is producing with Gary Lucchesi, Tom Rosenberg and Richard Wright of Lakeshore.

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" Movie Review or My Random Thoughts on the "Twilight" Sequel

(I"m writing this at 12:49 in the morning, fresh from my jaunt from Los Angeles after watching "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" so if I may sound a bit blurry, I am! Oh, and there may be spoilers as well.)
Previously on "Twilight," Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), the human, falls in love with Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), the vampire. They fight bad vampires and they live happily ever after.
Well...almost.
Now is the dawn of "New Moon," the sequel to the super-popular franchise based on a series of books by author Stephenie Meyer. The sequel begins with Bella's birthday and ends with her quest for immortality. At the center of the film is a love triangle between a human, a vampire, and a werewolf.
The movie's first five minutes is vibrant and full of life. Ironically enough, Bella's mortality is the crux of the film. In her dream, »
