Rise of the Lycans

Under­world: Rise of the Lycans (due in 2009) is a pre­quel to Under­world (2003) and Under­world: Evo­lu­tion (2006). The pre­quel story is about the impos­si­ble secret love of Viktor’s daugh­ter, Sonja (played by Rhona Mitra), a Death Dealer and a Lycan­thrope (were­wolf) called Lucian (played by Michael Sheen). It’s a centuries-​old blood feud between the aris­to­cratic vam­pires and their one­time slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian emerges as a pow­er­ful leader who ral­lies the were­wolves to rise up against Viktor (played by Bill Nighy), the cruel vam­pire king who has enslaved them. Later Lucian is joined by his secret lover (Sonja), in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his strug­gle for Lycan freedom.
