http://www.scifitv.com.au/Blog/2008/03/Underworld-3-Shooting-In-New-Zealand/No Kate.  SCI FI PI visited the new Underworld movie, which is currently being shot in giant warehouses in the outskirts of Auckland and is posting this from a hotel room in the land of the long white cloud.
The prequel to the Underworld movies, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, takes us back in time for swashbuckling mediaeval vampires vs werewolves action.
Directed by famed production designer, Patrick Tatopolous, the film features the return of Michael Sheen as Lucian and Bill Nighy as Viktor, and sees the full appearance of Sonja, Viktor's daughter, vampire lover of werewolf Lucian and cause of all the fuss that is the thousand year war between wolf and bat, played by Rhona Mitra.
We can confirm that the production values of sets and costumes are extremely high, the story is bold and the pedigree is pure, with original director, Len Wiseman producing and writing, and Tatopolous having worked on the first two films.
The sets are immense.
As we get closer to release date we'll publish on-set interviews with all the major cast and crew, alongside pics and vids. As helmer Tatopolous says, it's the 'cousin' of the first two films, with the story focused on the history of the werewolves and their rise from slavery.
Cool things to get excited about are new and sexy vampire armour, Mitra in kickass form, big battles and a bold and brutal style to the film that pays homage to the original flicks, but takes the Underworld saga into new territory.

Speaking of Rhoda, Rhona, whatever... A buddy of mine saw this picture and sent me the link, thinking it was Kate. I thought it was kind of funny, but I do see how a casual fan would think so. This is from the movie Doomsday I believe it's called.

I'll still see it. I've liked all the Underworld films so far, and Kate Beckinsale is so over-rated.
OK, I was kidding about Kate. Would someone care to pick Lockdown up off the floor?

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the Doomsday previews, damn Kate is hot! Then of course, turns out she's not kate after all. No matter though, they both look good.

She is apparently very physically fit. I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes a fairly sought-after actress for these type of (female) action movies.

I really enjoyed the first Underworld although the second one wasn't as good. Personally I'm more worried about the switch in directors than the loss of Beckinsale.

At this stage I was going to say, "no point." then I saw the mention of Rhona Mitra and I'm right back in. She was very tasty in The Life of David Gale, just turn it off after her "action" scene.

It was this moment that took the movie from being a little ho-hum to “holy shit, did that shark just eat a plane!?”

I liked Underworld 2, still haven't seen U1. I mean, it was stupid as all hell, but entertaining.

Without Kate Beckinsale, is there any reason to believe this isn't going straight to video or going to appear as a "Sci Fi Original Movie"? (interesting, though, the second movie made more than the first http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/series/Underworld.php)
