Toimivan ja synkähkön esikoiselokuvansa, Underworldin, jälkeen ohjaaja Len Wiseman avioitui Kate Beckinsalen kanssa, mutta nyt hän on palannut takaisin ohjaajan pallille Undeworldin jatko-osan myötä.
Eikä tämä edes näytä riittävän Wisemanille, sillä seuraavan Die Hard -elokuvan jälkeen mies aikoo näköjään ohjata kolmannen Underworldin. Ja mikäpä siinä ohjatessa, sillä Underworld: Evolution on ihan kelpo jatko-osa: tosin omine puutteineen.

Viktor killed Selene's family as they knew the prison's location, but turned Selene into a vampire. Tanis then refers Selene and Michael to Macaro for help. After Selene and Michael leave Tanis' residence, Marcus arrives and injures Tanis to drink his blood so that he learns Selene and Michael's location, killing Tanis.
