20 years later, Wiseman looks back on the making of his feature debut, which offered a new twist on the classic vampire-werewolf tale.
When Underworld first premiered on September 19, 2003, it represented a beginning not just in terms of helping to reinvent the monster movie but also what it signified for those both in front of and behind the camera. For lead Kate Beckinsale, it was the first opportunity she'd have to kick ass as an action heroine, with her career mostly having consisted of period dramas and sweeping romantic films up until that point.
So it started to just develop as an interesting take on a werewolf movie, trying to find something new in that. What's a new type of opponent for a werewolf? We've seen the sheriff, we've seen the local town, and it just evolved into us all talking about, "What if the opponent was the vampire?" It hadn't really been tackled since the forties or fifties. So that's what initiated the beginning of it.
This was your first time directing a film. It was Kate's first time in a role like this. But this was the first movie for a lot of people just from the production standpoint. I had done music videos and commercials before — especially working on props, [you’re] much more aware of an insert unit [that] will come in and do the real detail work of the bullets that are being picked up or inserts of a gun. We didn't have that, so I was trying to make it through my day doing the action sequences. But then also, we needed a close-up of the camera on the ground that Selene picks up, or just a bullet that hits the ground and bounces off.
There's a part of that that hasn't really changed much in my career. You always are doing that at the end of the day. But at that time, I was like, “No, I've got these storyboards, I've got everything mapped in my head. These are the shots that we need.
You can talk about days that were harder, but I'm sure you have so many great memories from being on set and making this movie.
