Even though Underworld: Rise of the Lycans was the least popular of the three movies in the vampires-versus-werewolves series (the other one), that isn't preventing a fourth Underworld from being made. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a writer has been hired, and production should start next year. Len Wiseman, who helmed the first two films, will produce but not direct, lessening the odds that his wife Kate Beckinsale will return as leather-clad vampiress Selene. No plot has been announced, but a January 21, 2011 release date is targeted.

New Moon beat even the most optimistic of projections this past weekend by racking up an estimated $140 million at the box office, the third-highest opening weekend in history -- trailing only The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 3. That figure includes a record one-day gross of $72.7 million, which itself includes a record take of $26.3 million from opening night midnight showings -- enough money to maybe boost the shirt budget for the next film. Final numbers are due late Monday.
