It'll be an AI/photoshop mashup of Montalban, Cumberbatch, and the kid who played Khan in SNW (who'll probably be a bit older by the time these books are published).

Oh, "Rise of the Lycans" wasn't even a gleam in anyone's eye when I wrote "Blood Enemy," five years earlier. I wrote "Blood Enemy" (my only original UW novel for the uninitiated) right after the first movie, when they were still developing the plot for the second film, "Underworld: Evolution." The third movie, "Rise of the Lycans" was still years away, so nobody was scripting it yet.
In fact, as I recall, there was an issue with "Blood Enemy" in that the character of Marcus, a legendary vampire Elder, hadn't even been cast yet, so I had no idea what he looked like when I used him in "Blood Enemy."
Ironically, the whole reason we went the prequel route with "Blood Enemy" was to avoid conflicting with any future sequels to the first movie, figuring that the movies would be going forward, not backwards. Little did we know that, half a decade later, the movies would do the prequel thing, too.
Which means I got to write a novelization that rendered my previous novel apocryphal.
(To be clear, I don't think the filmmarkers actually borrowed anything from "Blood Enemy." We were both just fleshing out the backstory as related in the original movie.)
But... but... the prequel has the most ridiculous sex scene ever filmed!
OMG... Did The Tall Guy stop existing?But... but... the prequel has the most ridiculous sex scene ever filmed!
I'm not familiar with that one.
Rise of the Lycans features vampire/werewolf sexy time on and over the edge of a cliff. It is completely stupid and over-the-top.
It seems all these years the Oscars have been lacking a vital category.But... but... the prequel has the most ridiculous sex scene ever filmed!
Seriously, I heard RotL isn't that bad, I just felt that the first two films did a reasonable enough job covering the history.
Though, if Singe appears in RotL, that would be cool. He was one of my favorites; I'm all for the non-stereotypical werewolves and vampires!
Cheesy dialogue. Can't give an example, but when someone tells instead of shows.
And if not that, The Bronze.
I hope it was Priddy Blon-Barmead."Just give her a name already."
Congratulations. I've never seen an Underworld film or had any interest in doing so. Now, after reading this post, I'm looking into which streaming service carries this particular movie.
I confess I immediately knew which sex scene you were referring to.
It's somewhat less spectacular in my novelization -- because I had no idea they were going to stage it that way!

Perhaps when they go over the cliff they can land on Sonia, killing(?) her. ;p
Was it this scene, where the German translator used the comparison of Sonjas blood being as "kühl als ein klarer Bergbach" or something like that? It's quite an interesting thing. Just one question: I'm now reading the Star Trek book, where Seven meets Kirk, and I liked, that Bones asked Seven, if she was related to Gary - my question is: "Doctor Annika Seven" is there a "Doctor Who"-Joke included or is it just because of her name being Annika Hanson and Seven of Nine?I confess I immediately knew which sex scene you were referring to.

Thank you.
It's Sonia and Lucian who are having sex on the cliff.
...that somehow makes it more funny.
If you're killed by yourself going over a cliff, is that suicide or negligent homicide?
No "Doctor Who" joke intended, I'm afraid. What is the joke I'm missing?
Some people think that Gary Seven is similar to the Doctor, or that one was influenced by the other, even though the similar elements weren't introduced into Doctor Who until years after Roddenberry created Gary Seven. (They also misunderstand that the Assignment: Earth series that would've spun off from the Trek episode would've been more Earth-based spy-fi in the vein of The Avengers or The Man from U.N.C.L.E. rather than an alien-driven show like Doctor Who.)
Ah, that explains the Canadian accent in "Space Seed".Khan Prime is now.... somehow... officially... Canadian. And a child in 2024.
Oh, right. Honestly, I've pretty much stopped correcting folks who insist that Gary Seven is based on Doctor Who because it's just too Sissyphean a task and takes too long to rebut, over and over and over again. I don't have the patience to rehash it one more time.
It's like the myth that Ricardo Montalban was wearing a prosthetic chest in KHAN. Doesn't matter how many times it's debunked, it keeps rising from the grave like Dracula.
