The film, written by John Hlavin with revisions by J. Michael Straczynski, is currently looking for a director. Len Wiseman, the first two films' director (and husband to Beckinsale) will produce along with Lakeshore Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi.
Beckinsale appeared in both Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, but did not return for 2009's Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. In the third film, Selene appeared only in flashbacks, where she was portrayed by Lily Mo Sheen, Beckinsale's real-life daughter.
Underworld 4 also has an open part for Selene's fictional daughter, indicating that this will, indeed, take place after the timeframe of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.
Production is slated to begin in Vancouver in March 2011. Screen Gems' Senior Vice President of Production, Scott Strauss will oversee the project for the studio.
