After 11 years and four movies, Lakeshore Entertainment is rebooting the Underworld franchise, hiring Cory Goodman (Priest) to write the script. No story details were given for the reboot.

Kate Beckinsale starred as the vampire "death dealer" Selene in the first Underworld, which debuted in 2003 and followed the war between the vampires and their sworn enemies, the lycans, a.k.a. werewolves.

The actress returned for the sequel Underworld: Evolution in 2006, although she did not star in the 2009 prequel Underworld 3: The Rise of The Lycans, which featured Michael Sheen and Rhona Mitra. 2012's Underworld Awakening was the final feature within the franchise, which has earned $458.2 million worldwide through all four movies.

Lakeshore Entertainment's Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi are producing, but there is no production schedule set at this time.

Cory Goodman's other feature writing credits include Apollo 18 and upcoming projects such as The Last Witch Hunter, Lore and Kung Fu.
