- Story Text: Actress Kate Beckinsale joined her co-stars at the iconic Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood Thursday night (January 19, 2012) for the red carpet premiere of the action thriller, "Underworld Awakening."
The film is a reunion of sorts for Beckinsale, the star of the first two movies, who returns in her lead role as the vampire warrioress Selene in the fourth film in the franchise. Beckinsale's character, who 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.
The actress explained that her busy schedule did not leave a lot of time to get ready.
"We had very little time because we were actually shooting "Contraband" right up until I started this movie," said Beckinsale. "I tend to do a lot of yoga so that tended to help and what helped me not get injured in the movie."
All the high action though is what co-star Michael Ealy thinks makes "Underworld Awakening" special.
"I think this could be the biggest one of all four," gushed Ealy. "I think that everyone is really excited that Kate is back and I think the action is just unstoppable."
"Underworld Awakening" also brings a stunning new dimension to the epic battle between vampires and lycans, as the first film in the franchise to shoot in 3D.
The film opens on Friday, January 20. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
