Days after the release of a 'Director's Cut DVD' of last years cult vamps vs. werewolves action flick, scribe Danny McBride spoke with The Trades about how the planned sequel is progressing:
"McBride confirmed that shooting will begin in the fall for a targeted 2005 release; and he also confirmed that Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman have already signed on to reprise their respective roles. McBride went on to say that he is currently preparing the outline for the second draft of the sequel and that the production team is in the middle of the development stages.
The new film will carry the story further as well as incorporate a few prequel sequences, which should be extremely cool. He added, Patrick Tatopoulos (the creature designer) has, par for course, created some fantastic new designs for the film. Len [Wiseman, director] has been busy storyboarding and is gearing up for location scouting" .
Does the new prequel figure into their plans at the moment? "At the moment, we are focused on the sequel. It's our main priority because the start date is looming in the not too distant future. With that said, we still are forced to spend a great deal of time discussing the prequel because the actions and motivations of our characters in medieval times affects things downstream".

Thanks to 'Scott' & 'Dave'.
