PRAGUE, Oct. 19, 2015 — We have confirmation that principal photography is underway on the latest installment of Screen Gems/Lakeshore Entertainment’s blockbuster UNDERWORLD series. The ten-week shoot will take place entirely in the Czech capital and areas surrounding. We originally had reported last week that filming had begun, but now we have official confirmation from Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Can we get an AMEN THEOlogians? We may start seeing pictures of Theo surfacing soon!

As we have previously reported Theo James (The Divergent Series) is returning as Selene’s ally David. He is reprising the role he played in Underworld: Awakening. British actors Tobias Menzies (Outlander) and Lara Pulver (Sherlock) take on the respective roles of a formidable new Lycan leader and a fiercely ambitious Vampire, and Charles Dance (Game of Thrones) again plays Vampire elder Thomas. Rounding out the film’s stellar international cast are: James Faulkner (Game of Thrones), Peter Andersson (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), newcomer Clementine Nicholson, Bradley James (A&E’s upcoming Damien) and Daisy Head (the upcoming Fallen).

Anna Foerster is the director of UNDERWORLD 5. Foerster, who previously directed episodes of the television series Criminal Minds and Outlander, is widely known for her work as cinematographer on epic blockbusters such as Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow and White House Down.

The screenplay for UNDERWORLD 5 was penned by Cory Goodman (The Last Witch Hunter, Priest) and based on characters originally created by Kevin Grevioux, Len Wiseman and Danny McBride. Lakeshore Entertainment‘s Tom Rosenberg (The Lincoln Lawyer, Million Dollar Baby), Gary Lucchesi (Million Dollar Baby, Underworld), and Richard S. Wright (The Lincoln Lawyer, Underworld) are producing as are David Kern (Underworld: Awakening), along with Len Wiseman (Underworld, Total Recall).
