Come Back to the Underworld Franchise

Agree. Totally and completely.

Ditto and double ditto.

Tired of stand-ins and scripts that write around him.
He is the Yin to Selenes Yang.

Damnit, find Michael already!

And again...in the face of the newest installment, I still agree.

I haven't seen a poster or preview or even whisper about the release. Even Kate's Instagram is eerily moot on the subject.
I would forgive ALL past transgressions and terrible release plans just to see Selena and Michael reunited.

Just like that.

Looks like a big no for Michael

he's not in the newest one.

is he not interested in the series anymore? the character was in the previous one, but someone else was playing him ans they CGI'd Scotts face on them briefly until he transformed to his vamp/Lycan form, got shot and fell into the water.

so why is Scott not interested anymore? it's not like he's got anything else that's more important.

I read an article with a quote from Len Wiseman that explained why Scott wasn't in Awakening, and in my opinion, it was such a *beep* stupid reason that you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you what it was.

Please reply

what was the reason then?

Here's what Wiseman said:
At one point [in the story development] we were thinking about bringing in Michael into more of the story. It just started to battle and distract from the mother/daughter story with Eve, the new character. It just started happening script-wise. It started to take the importance of Eve [India Eisley] down. You can’t just have Michael in there as a sub-character because he’s so important and if you’re going to have another important character show up, it just washes that relationship entirely. That’s a bit of where it just became what it became. If you got involved in the Michael relationship, it would have overshadowed the new one. With parts one and two, we told, a little bit, of the same relationship story and I didn’t want to do that a third time. If we’re going to do another one, let’s put a different relationship in there. Scott’s a friend of mine and he knew what I was doing from the beginning, we talk every week so it was just, ‘This is the story we’re going with in the third one.'
