Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, a prequel to Underworld and Underworld: Evolution further exploring the beginnings of the feud between the vampire race and the lycans has a poster out featuring Bill Nighy as Viktor sitting on his throne.
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans will take place hundreds of years before the previous films and will give more detail to the story of Sonja and Lucian's forbidden love. As the poster suggests with it's tagline "Every War Has a Beginning", the movie will be exploring the beginning of the war between the Lycans and Vampires, and Sonja and Lucian's involvement in that war. The film will have some familiar faces with Underworld creator, Kevin Grevioux who will reprise his role as the Lycan (werewolf) Raze; Michael Sheen will return as the Lycan leader Lucian, and Bill Nighy will return as Viktor. New to the cast will be Rhona Mitra playing Sonja, the vampire who falls in love with a Lycan.
The movie comes to US theatres January 23rd, 2009.
