COSPLAY TRIBUTE UNDERWORLD With the new Underworld Blood Wars film about to hit we got together with a local cosplayer and fan of the series to have some fun creating some photos inspired by the movie. Megan (Yaniv Cosplay) and I sat and talked about the new movie and I first asked what she loved about the Underworld films. “I love that they are so in depth, there’s a lot of underlaying history, characters and events that are happening during the movies and before the movies which makes them feel more in depth and detailed, making them feel more realistic to me.” What about the sets used and the mood they create? Do you think they capture the whole feeling and drama of the story? Definitely, I think the darkness mixed in with the rain and gothic costumes make the story feel so much more intense and add this edge of drama which I love! It draws me into the movies more and makes me feel as though I want to be a part of it. Kate Beckinsale is perfect as Selene - What did you think of “Rise of the Lycans” and Rhona Mitra in the key role as Sonja? Kate Beckinsale is my ultimate female crush and is perfect for the role of Selene! I don’t think anyone else would’ve been better suited for the job. Out of all the movies, Rise of Lycans is my favorite. I like how the producers of the film really wanted to tell the story of how the war between the lycans and vampires (death dealers) started. I think that Rhona was the perfect for the role of Sonja. She is a fantastic actress and really made me feel like her love for Lucian was real and that she would do anything just so that she could be with him. I also think that her sharp features made her look intense and perfect for the role as a vampire. Which movie is your favourite? The first film is my favourite, but they are all fantastic!
