UNDERWORLD screenwriter Danny McBride spoke with The Trades website and offered up the latest intel on the sequel. According to the scribe, UNDERWORLD 2 is on track to start filming this fall and come out sometime next year. As well, McBride also confirms that contracts for both of UNDERWORLD's two stars, Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman, are closed and the actors will star in the sequel.

As for what to expect: "The new film will carry the story further as well as incorporate a few prequel sequences, which should be extremely cool," said McBride to The Trades. "Patrick Tatopolous (the creature designer) has, par for course, created some fantastic new designs for the film. Len [Wiseman] has been busy storyboarding and is gearing up for location scouting."

The writer also talks about his other genre projects in development and why the first film was almost never made, and you can read all about it over at The Trades.
