The fourth in the Underworld series, Underworld Awakening, has premiered its second trailer and it features a fierce Kate Beckinsale back in her black latex as the film series’ heroine Selene. Also, don't miss the first Underworld Awakening trailer.

The Underworld films are all about the battle between the Lycans (werewolves) and the vampires. After three films, their disdain for each other has been made more than clear.

Underworld Awakening brings Selene back (she was absent from the third flick) and in the second trailer it’s great to see her returning to her badass self.

Beckinsale met her husband, director Len Wiseman, on the first Underworld film. Wiseman is not directing the fourth in the franchise. That duty has been handed off to the Swedish directing duo of Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein.

The awakening of the title, Underworld Awakening, judging by the trailer, must have to do with the plot of the human race discovering that this “underworld” exists and its residents are vampires and werewolves.

Underworld Awakening hits theaters in 3D and 2D January 20, 2012.
