MOVIES: Underworld 5 - Theo James to Star

Sep 16, 2014

Share on Reddit
Thanks to Boris for the heads up.

Theo James will be going back to Underworld. The Divergent actor is attached as the lead in the fifth film in the vampire action franchise, which Lakeshore Entertainment is currently developing.

James, who played a vampire named David in 2013's Underworld: Awakening, will be the central character in the new film, which is not a reboot but rather an expansion of the existing universe. Kate Beckinsale, who starred in the previous films, will likely not be returning. Sources say there was an option on James because of his work on the previous film, and he'll star opposite two new female characters. Casting is underway for those roles, with plans to start shooting in the spring.

Cory Goodman has been hired to write the script, as The Hollywood Reporter exclusively reported. Lakeshore's Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi are producing.

    I didn't really care for the last film, and if this one won't even have Kate in it, I don't know.

    Good, was hoping for a continuation with Eve.
    So there's hope for Scott Speedman to return

    I don't think Underworld has that something special without Kate, for me it's abit like Mila not being in Resident Evil.

    The last film was the worst of the Underworld films. Honestly, I really could not finish watching it.

    Well, this officially sucks. For me, at least. Main reason why I watched the last one was Selene(and Kate Beckinsale, of course), and now that she won't be returning... I don't know. I guess if I'll watch it depends on where they plan on going with the story. I have to wait for the first trailer to decide. :/

    I would like to know what happens with Kate's daughter in the movie. Maybe a romantic pair with Theo

    I am interested to see a new side of the story, but I agree Eve should be in it. She is the last descendant of Corvinus, besides her father and her DNA is the key to creating new hybrids.
