Delving into the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires and the barbaric Lycans, "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" tells the story when a young Lycan named Lucian rallies the werewolves to rise up against cruel vampire king Viktor. Joined by his secret lover, Sonja, he battles the Death Dealers to free the Lycans from their brutal enslavement. Scripted by Danny McBride, the action fantasy movie will make its debut in U.S. theaters this coming Friday, January 23.
