Underworld: Blood Wars trailer: Kate Beckinsale's vampire returns

“The vampire and Lycan clans have been at war for centuries!” intones Kate Beckinsale over the new trailer for action-horror sequel, Underworld: Blood Wars (out Jan. 6, 2017). And, it may seem like an eon to fans since they saw the British actress’ vampire, Selene, in the franchise’s last entry, 2012’s Underworld: Awakening.

Regardless, Beckinsale seems in fine, ass-kicking fettle in this footage from the film, which finds her attempting to stop the battling between werewolves and vampires with assistance from Thomas (Game of Thrones actor Charles Dance) and his son David (Theo James from the Divergent films).

Underworld: Blood Wars is directed by Anna Foerster, whose previous credits include several episodes of Starz’s time-travel tale Outlander. The film’s cast also includes Outlander actor Tobias Menzies.
