Underworld (2003)

Theatrical Poster Source: Wikipedia Despite the apparent extinction of the Lycans, the vampire clan face a renewed threat. During a routine cull on the last remaining Lycans (werewolves), Selene (Kate Beckinsale), a vampire, discovers that the Lycans have developed a new weapon for slaying their immortal enemies. After Selene's discovery is dismissed by the vampire regent (Shane Brolly), she makes a further finding when she notices that the Lycans were tracking a human, Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman).

Fox) that there is trouble ahead for him. They head off - with Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue) to the very futuristic year of 2015(...) where skyways are common. To the uninitiated - including myself before writing this review - it would be easy to believe that Back to the Future was always designed to be a franchise, but it wasn't until the rip-roaring success of the first film that a sequel was commissioned. Robert Zemeckis (Director) and Bob Gale (Screenwriter) were both quickly back on board, now having regrets about the "joke" of the flying car ending from the first movie, realising that they would have to write in Jennifer for the sequel.
