She finished to a burst of applause from crew and a few bystanders. Following Selene's big escape from Antigen in the film, we see scenes of her walking across the top of the Skywalk stunt double above Seymour Street to the Bay downtown and across the Hastings overpass Kate Beckinsale above Hastings to Oceanic Plaza.
U4 filmed the Hastings overpass scene on April 12th. All I saw of it was Oceanic Plaza lit up since crew wouldn't let anyone near filming. Plagued by strange visions which Selene thinks are linked to her true love, Michael Corvin, she returns to the pier where she lost him in the water twelve years before and encounters local actor Robert Lawrenson from Sanctuary as a security guard.
The visions eventually lead her to a building where she meets vampire David played by Theo James and to her daughter Eve played by India Eisley. Enter Michael Ealy as Detective Sebastian, first seen kneeling down in dirt under the Georgia viaduct between Stadium station and Costco near Rogers Arena a in a scene filmed on March 18th.
You can see Ealy in a gap between the scrims and also a door from one of the cartoon-style police cars used in the film. Detective Sebastian makes his way to Antigen headquarters, which is SFU's Convocation Mall Convo Mall lit with floating balloon lights and dressed with Antigen flags, signs, a large grey corporate reception area on the dais and fake Antigen entry doors covering a stair case entrance to the Academic Quadrangle.
Crew had to shovel leftover snow off Convo Mall on Monday, March 7th, to film Detective Sebastian parking his car near the fountain at the west end of Convo Mall and walking up to the Antigen reception desk. There is also a scene, which I didn't see being filmed, of him walking with Stephen Rhea as Dr. Sebastian -- whose wife was bitten at work, became a vampire and then decided to kill herself rather than be hunted -- is not buying what Lane is selling.
Meantime, David, Selene and her rescued but injured daughter Eve are careening around town in a van, some of it filmed in and around Burrard and Pender I swear I saw the same garage parking sign several times in the driving scenes and some of it in Stanley Park. The crash scene along Pender near Burrard was filmed on March 28th, and more of the chase scenes in the blocks of West Cordova, Hastings and Pender in early April.
The movie then returns to Antigen headquarters for a scene of secret Lycan Dr. Jacob Lane, played by Stephen Rhea, and human Antigen scientist Lida, played by Sandrine Holt, talking on the steps as torrential rain falls in the background.
Crew had installed rain towers on the roof of the rotunda at the west end of Convo Mall to film this scene on Tuesday, March 8th. From the rotunda commons room, I spied Swedish director duo Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein down below watching the stunning scene unfolding on their monitors.
Next in the story, David takes Selene and the injured Eve back to his vampire coven, which appears to be located somewhere in or below the Cleveland Dam in North Vancouver judging from the scenes of Kate Beckinsale walking beside a fenced off path along the Capilano canyon with the water cascading in the background. It gave me a small thrill to see that another classic Brit actor Charles Dance played the leader of the coven and David's father. Did you know Edit. Trivia The film takes place in Goofs at around 1h 6 mins When Det.
Sebastian is watching the security videos, we see a shot of Dr. Lane taking Eve down a hallway, with the security camera preceding them down the hall moving with them , rather than panning to follow them as would be expected from a fixed-position camera. Quotes Eve : I dreamt of the day we would meet. User reviews Review. Top review. An action packed fourth instalment in the 'Underworld' franchise. As this film opens we learn that humanity as discovered the existence of the two non-human species, vampires and lycans, and set about eliminating both.
Twelve years later Selene escapes and is united with a girl named Eve who turns out to be her daughter. She is wanted by individuals who believes that she holds the key to their research. The action that follows will see Selene return to the lab where she had been frozen and confront numerous super-lycans to save her daughter. After missing the third film, which was a prequel, this film sees a welcome return of Kate Beckinsale as Selene; she does a fine job in the roll providing quality action scenes The Story is solid enough; it provides some good twists and lots of thrilling action.
Stephen Rea and Charles Dance add a touch of class as the Dr Jacob Lane, the films main antagonist, and a vampire elder respectively. On the down side the CGI isn't the best and the way guns seem to be able to rapid fire a near infinite amount of ammunition without reloading is too silly. Overall I certainly wouldn't call this a great film but it is definitely worth watching if you enjoyed previous Underworld films. Tweekums Aug 16, FAQ What is 'Awakening' about?
