Kate Beckinsale's return as Selene in Underworld: Blood Wars will now take place in the winter rather than the fall.
According to Box Office Mojo, Underworld: Blood Wars will be released by Screen Gems on January 6th, 2017. The film was previously slated to come out on October 14th, 2016.
A Lakeshore Entertainment film, Underworld: Blood Wars stars Beckinsale back in her role as the highly skilled vampire Selene, with Theo James once again playing David and Charles Dance returning as the vampire elder Thomas. Bradley James (Damien, iZombie) also plays a key role in the fifth Underworld film, which is directed by Anna Foerster from a screenplay by Cory Goodman (The Last Witch Hunter, Priest):
"Theo James (The Divergent Series) returns as Selene’s ally David, reprising the role he played in Underworld: Awakening. British actors Tobias Menzies (“Outlander”, “Rome”) and Lara Pulver (“Sherlock”) take on the respective roles...

While America was celebrating the 4th of July in the U.S., the British were celebrating the release of Pacific Rim with the European premiere.
The apocalypse was cancelled as the cast and crew of Pacific Rim descended on London’s BFI IMAX Waterloo – but not before the Jaeger and Kaiju dwarfed the London sky line.
Director Guillermo Del Toro and stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman and Rinko Kikuchi, alongside the likes of director Edgar Wright and Rizzle Kicks, stomped down the red carpet.
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes the sci-fi action adventure “Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Pacific Rim.”

We’ve got a great screening contest to kick off the first day of July.
Who wants to win passes to Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim?
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are synched via a neural bridge, called “The Drift.” But as the enemy grows more powerful with each attack, even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.
On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes – a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) – who are...

From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

"Pacific Rim" has so many of my favorite things. It's a Guillermo del Toro monster movie. It's a callback to Kaiju and anime culture. It stars actors from three of my all-time favorite shows: Charlie Hunnam of "Sons of Anarchy," Charlie Day of "Always Sunny," and Idris Elba of "The Wire" (bonus points for "Luther"). I do not need to know anything else to guarantee my attendance on opening day.
That said, I won't say no to reading the "Pacific Rim" plot synopsis, which only serves to sell the awesome-sounding movie even further. Check out the full synopsis and Legendary Pictures press release after the jump!

"Hellboy" is a standard-issue superhero movie -- except that writer-director Guillermo Del Toro, taking his cue from "Hellboy" comic book creator Mike Mignola, brings a wicked sense of humor to this particular monster mash. Not the goofy slapstick of "Men in Black", mind you, but dry wit and humanizing touches that make Ron Perlman's title character more than a big red monster. A good thing too, for "Hellboy" is pretty derivative stuff. Pulling elements from "The X-Files" and "X-Men" to "Star Wars" and Perlman's own "Beauty and the Beast" TV series, the world of Hellboy feels awfully familiar.
But thanks to the dynamic duo of Del Toro and Perlman, who worked together in "Blade II" and "Cronos", "Hellboy" should move into the boxoffice win column for Sony. The reported $60 million production -- a fairly modest budget for a superhero movie -- could even turn into a franchise for Revolution Studios. Del Toro already has said he'd love to make a sequel.
The sheer ingenuity and obvious joy Del Toro puts into the major action sequences lifts the movie out of the mundane. Otherwise, the paranormal stunts, the fights between good and bad demons, the face-off between the good scientist and the evil charlatan have all been done to death.
In essence, much of the movie is an extended battle between a creature that cannot die and a creature that does die only to be reborn -- and nobody on the creative team seems to understand that is a hugely static situation. As with those endless fights between Keanu Reeves' Neo and the hundreds of Agent Smith clones in "The Matrix" sequels last summer, the risk of tedium is high.
Starting out much like "X-Men" in the final days of World War II, Hellboy is born -- so to speak -- when desperate Nazis hire evil mad monk Grigori Rasputin (Karel Roden) to open a portal to the cosmic void to bring to Earth a creature who will cause Armageddon. Then, American GIs intervene and in the ensuing mayhem that creature, dubbed Hellboy, is intercepted by the good side, meaning Professor Broom (John Hurt), founder of the clandestine Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. Raised like a son by Broom, Hellboy becomes a champion for good rather than evil.
Perlman's Hellboy is a red giant, his leathery skin the shade of terra cotta, his horns sheered daily at the forehead much as a normal man would shave, a large right fist made of pure concrete and, oh yes, a tail just like the devil. Something of an overgrown kid, he lives in a bachelor pad underneath the BPRD, where he pumps iron, indulges in pizza and beer and raises dozens of cats. His job is to hunt down monsters, which he does with cool nonchalance and a number of wisecracks.
Only one thing throws him and that is Selma Blair's Liz Sherman, a fellow freak with pyro-kinetic abilities. Hellboy has an enormous crush on her. When John Myers (Rupert Evans), a young FBI agent, joins the "nanny squad" of normal humans who must look after Broom's freaks, Hellboy becomes hugely jealous of the burgeoning friendship between Liz and John.
The main story line is not terribly interesting. Rasputin returns to Earth -- where exactly has he been since 1944? -- to claim Hellboy for the dark side. He unleashes two villainous creatures, Sammael (Brian Steele), a hideous monster that as the "lord of resurrection" refuses to die, and Kroenen, once a human being but now a bloodless killing machine.
Coming to Hellboy's defense is Liz and another exceptional creature, Abe Sapien (Doug Jones), a fish-man with near psychic intuition. The movie's best moments come not during battles between Hellboy and his enemies, but rather in Hellboy's bratty behavior, which drives agent Tom Manning (Jeffrey Tambor) crazy, and his growing envy of Liz and John.
Shot in the Czech Republic, the movie mixes CG with models, matte paintings, animation, animatronics and prosthetics to give the comic book world a hint of realism. Marco Beltrami's music, dramatic and full bodied, is a major plus.

Then, American GIs intervene and in the ensuing mayhem that creature, dubbed Hellboy, is intercepted by the good side, meaning Professor Broom (John Hurt), founder of the clandestine Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. Raised like a son by Broom, Hellboy becomes a champion for good rather than evil.
Perlman's Hellboy is a red giant, his leathery skin the shade of terra cotta, his horns sheered daily at the forehead much as a normal man would shave, a large right fist made of pure concrete and, oh yes, a tail just like the devil. Something of an overgrown kid, he lives in a bachelor pad underneath the BPRD, where he pumps iron, indulges in pizza and beer and raises dozens of cats. His job is to hunt down monsters, which he does with cool nonchalance and a number of wisecracks.
Only one thing throws him and that is Selma Blair's Liz Sherman, a fellow freak with pyro-kinetic abilities. Hellboy has an enormous crush on her. When John Myers (Rupert Evans), a young FBI agent, joins the "nanny squad" of normal humans who must look after Broom's freaks, Hellboy becomes hugely jealous of the burgeoning friendship between Liz and John.
The main story line is not terribly interesting. Rasputin returns to Earth -- where exactly has he been since 1944? -- to claim Hellboy for the dark side. He unleashes two villainous creatures, Sammael (Brian Steele), a hideous monster that as the "lord of resurrection" refuses to die, and Kroenen, once a human being but now a bloodless killing machine.
Coming to Hellboy's defense is Liz and another exceptional creature, Abe Sapien (Doug Jones), a fish-man with near psychic intuition. The movie's best moments come not during battles between Hellboy and his enemies, but rather in Hellboy's bratty behavior, which drives agent Tom Manning (Jeffrey Tambor) crazy, and his growing envy of Liz and John.
Shot in the Czech Republic, the movie mixes CG with models, matte paintings, animation, animatronics and prosthetics to give the comic book world a hint of realism. Marco Beltrami's music, dramatic and full bodied, is a major plus.

"Hellboy" is a standard-issue superhero movie -- except that writer-director Guillermo Del Toro, taking his cue from "Hellboy" comic book creator Mike Mignola, brings a wicked sense of humor to this particular monster mash. Not the goofy slapstick of "Men in Black", mind you, but dry wit and humanizing touches that make Ron Perlman's title character more than a big red monster. A good thing too, for "Hellboy" is pretty derivative stuff. Pulling elements from "The X-Files" and "X-Men" to "Star Wars" and Perlman's own "Beauty and the Beast" TV series, the world of Hellboy feels awfully familiar.
But thanks to the dynamic duo of Del Toro and Perlman, who worked together in "Blade II" and "Cronos", "Hellboy" should move into the boxoffice win column for Sony. The reported $60 million production -- a fairly modest budget for a superhero movie -- could even turn into a franchise for Revolution Studios. Del Toro already has said he'd love to make a sequel.
The sheer ingenuity and obvious joy Del Toro puts into the major action sequences lifts the movie out of the mundane. Otherwise, the paranormal stunts, the fights between good and bad demons, the face-off between the good scientist and the evil charlatan have all been done to death.
In essence, much of the movie is an extended battle between a creature that cannot die and a creature that does die only to be reborn -- and nobody on the creative team seems to understand that is a hugely static situation.
