No Scott Speedman = me not seeing this


I'm not sure if I'm the only one but Michael and Selena's relationship made this series for me. If Speedman isn't back in this one, I'm not interested in watching it.

Who are you kidding? You will be watching it.

What if Speedman didn't want to come back and reprise his role? That could be the case.

The only thing he's doing lately is Animal Kingdom which has a very light production schedule. Something like 10 episodes a year. So I'd be surprised if he passed. I bet they didn't offer him an in or didn't ask enough.

You're gonna watch it! 

the idea is old, milking a dead franchise. Get the crossover with Blade and maybe make more magic

reply

I'm willing to bet anything if Sony or someone had taken away some control over this franchise from Len Wiseman we would have Scott Speedman as Michael in these last 2 movies. I'm believing it more and more that Len booted Speedman. Scott has always said that if there was something decent for him to do in these movies he would return.

reply

I was disappointed Speedman wasn't in the last Underworld and will be disappointed again that he isn't in this one...But I will still watch it. Hopefully he will be in the next...if there is one.

reply

it may sound strange, but I got more romantically out of the ideal of the romance. the music and soundtrack, the posters, and honestly I got more out of the simple romance flashback of Lucian grabbing Sonja's pendant. I just didn't feel like the writers really cared about the love story other than a plot device.

reply

It's sad he did not play in the last movie, but from what I know he did not want to come back, and I am very happy that Kate Beckinsale is back, she is for me Underworld, and also happy that Theo James and Charles Dance are back.

I am a BIG fan of the Underworld movies and going to see this next movie Saturday in the cinema, can't wait to see it, the new trailer looks great.

reply

You ain't the only one who loves Michael and Selene's relationship. I don't want to watch it if Michael isn't in it or if he 'dies'

reply

Same. U1 and 2 were the best partly because of scott speedman and selene. The awakening SUCKED.

reply

Totally true it was more like a comic book. But Quint was about the only cool thing about Awakening.

reply

I also think Michael should have the ability to bulk up further like Marcus has the ability to retract his wings.

reply

I kinda liked it the way it was but I didnt like when he got impaled by marcus :D

reply

Yeah I just think that Michael should be able to have a form that can completely shred his clothes if he wants to. I also thought the impaling was dumb too.

reply

And I wish Amelia (Third elder that got killed on the train) were stronger... or atleast died fighting. She was portrayed to be of similar caliber as Victor in the fleshbacks (when they caught william)

reply

I know who she is. I also wish Michael was shown to much stronger than Marcus, though he was shown to be evenly matched physically.

reply

Marcus was the first vampire and had hundreds of years fighting experience.

reply

There is no question he won due to experience, but Michael is Lycan dominant. Therefore I think he should be stronger.

reply

He seems to be faster (almost teleporting behind enemies)

reply

Yeah and I think he is stronger after all he was able to fend Marcus off. If I became the kind of hybrid Michael is I'd want the bulk up ability as well as unlimited strength, the ability to regrow damaged limbs and the ability to talk.

reply

Agreed. I won't be watching this one. The series was supposed to be about Michael's character and instead it became about Selena. I lost hope for this series when in the second one, Selena had to save Michael's character all the way through the movie.
