Last month , we reported that Lakeshore
Entertainment is developing a reboot of their
Underworld franchise, with screenwriter Cory
Goodman ( Priest, Apollo 18 ) coming aboard to
write the script. Today, we have word from The
Hollywood Reporter that this project is not a
reboot at all, with Divergent star Theo James
set to reprise his role from 2012's Underworld
Awakening as the vampire David.
Theo James' David will be the central character
in this new project, which will expand the
existing Underworld franchise. Insiders claim
that Lakeshore still has an option on the actor
due to his work on Underworld Awakening, and
he will star alongside two new female
characters. Casting is currently under way for
those roles, with plans to start shooting this
spring.
Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi are
producing for Lakeshore, although a director has
not been attached at this time.
Theo James made his feature film debut in
Underworld Awakening, which lead to roles in
Red Tails , The Inbetweeners and his breakout
role as Four in the young adult adaptation
Divergent . He is slated to reprise that role in
The Divergent Series: Insurgent and the two-
part finale The Divergent Series: Allegiant: Part
1 and The Divergent Series: Allegiant: Part 2. He
also recently wrapped on two independent
projects, London Fields and Franny , and starred
on the short-lived CBS TV series Golden Boy .
