You have to hand it to the Underworld franchise. When the first one came out in 2003, I enjoyed it well enough for what it was, but never thought it had the potential to spawn three more films. The action was pretty awesome, but the plot and characters weren’t anything to write home about. Nevertheless, every three years a new film came out, and admittedly the story proved to become more and more interesting the further we delved into the Underworld universe. They’re still nothing phenomenal, but they really are true popcorn movies at their best, and that’s nothing to be ashamed about – especially since the franchise continues to show no signs of fading away.
Since the fourth film in the series, Underworld: Awakening, is coming out very soon (January 20th), two more trailers for the film have debuted online. One trailer, titled “Legacy,” is more of a recap of the history of Kate Beckinsale’s character, Selene, and the war between vampires and lycans. The other trailer focuses more on the vampire/lycan hybrid child, Eve, and what her role is in the war. Both showcase plenty of action, so hit the jump to check them out!
Official Synopsis:
“The vampire warrioress Selene, escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species.”

Trailer 3:
Underworld: Awakening, directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein, stars Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, India Eisley and Michael Ealy. The film hits theaters in 3-D January 20, 2012!
