Days before its U.S. opening, the president of Screen Gems greenlit not only a sequel to the movie Underworld but also a prequel after seeing the number of tickets sold in Canada alone.
Scott Speedman suffered a concussion when a set prop that was supposed to be a piece of the wall Viktor had just thrown him through hit him in the head.
Not only in this movie did Kate Beckinsale meet her future husband, director Len Wiseman, but at the time she was in a long term relationship with actor Michael Sheen, who played Lucian. Michael and Kate share a daughter together who appears in the film during a flashback of when Selene was younger. Michael and Len have since become very close friends and have collaborated with each other on Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009). Michael and Kate still remain very close and both are raising their daughter equally. Kate has stated that Michael is her best friend and that they still remain very close.
There were no special effects used to deepen Kevin Grevioux's (Raze's) voice. His natural speaking voice really is that deep.
(at around 37 mins) The 'attack dogs' outside of the vampire mansion were actually very docile and playful canines, which were the only dogs available at the time. For the scene where they chase Scott Speedman, director Len Wiseman had to film short clips of the dogs running and later put in sounds of vicious barking. If you look closely though you can see their tails happily wagging back and forth.
"Lucian: We were slaves once. The daylight guardians of the vampires. I was born into servitude. Yet I harbored them no ill will. Even took a vampire for my bride. It was forbidden, our union. Viktor feared a blending of the species. Feared it so much he killed her. His own daughter. Burnt alive for loving me. This is his war. Viktor's. And he spent the last 600 years exterminating my species."
"Singe: For years, we've been trying to combine the bloodlines. And for years, we've failed. It was useless. Even at the cellular level, our species seemed destined to destroy each other. Yet the key, we knew... was to locate the rarest of bloodlines... a direct descendant of Alexander Corvinus... Hungarian, a warlord... who came to power in the early seasons of the fifth century. Just in time to watch a plague ravage his village. He alone survived. Somehow, his body was able to change the disease... mold it to his benefit. He became the first true immortal. And years later, he fathered at least two children... who inherited the same trait. Viktor: The sons of the Corvinus clan. One bitten by bat, one by wolf... one to walk the lonely road of mortality as a human. It's a riduculous legend, nothing more. Singe: That may be... but our species do have a common ancestor. Viktor: There is a decendant of Corvinus lying there [points to Marcus' grave] Viktor: ... not three feet from you. Singe: Yes. But he's already a Vampire. We needed a pure source... untainted. An exact duplicate of the original virus. The Corvinus strain itself, which we learned... was hidden away in the genetic code of his human descendants... and passed along in its dormant form... down through the ages to Michael Corvin. His blood allows for a perfect union between our species. Viktor: There can be no such union. And to speak of it is heresy. Singe: We'll see. Once Lucian has injected him... Viktor: Lucian is dead. Singe: According to whom? [Kraven has left] Viktor: [to Selene] I can assure you my child... Kraven will pay with his life. Singe: Soon this house will lie in ruins. Selene: Not before you. Singe: No, wait. Wait. You and you alone will know the truth of this. If Lucian was able to get his hands on the blood of a Pure-Born... a powerful elder like Amelia... or yourself [motions to Viktor] Singe: ... and inject it along with Michael's blood... Viktor: [Whispers] Abomination. Singe: Half-Vampire... Half-Lycan... but stronger than both!"
