Персонаж
Селена родилась в конце XIV века и выросла нормальной, счастливой, жизнерадостной девочкой. Она и её сестра Сесилия любили рисовать картины и играть в игры вроде "Глупого гуся". Однако в возрасте девятнадцати лет внезапная и жестокая гибель всей её семьи полностью разбила ей сердце и сделала её сиротой. Больнее всего ей было принять смерть шестилетних племянниц. Настоящий убийца её семьи, Виктор, обманул её, заставив поверить, что за убийство ответственна стая ликанов. И поэтому Селена посвящает себя мести за их смерть. Как Диллер Смерти (боевая элита вампиров), Селена берёт на себя обязанность истреблять ликанов как вид, долг, который она считает "священным", полностью погружаясь в работу. Она также изолирует себя, не общаясь ни с кем, кроме Диллеров Смерти, поскольку большинство членов вампирского клана больше заботятся о том, чтобы проводить свою бессмертную жизнь в гедонистических удовольствиях, чем о серьёзной войне с ликанами. Она также служит одним из самых верных и могущественных Диллеров Смерти Виктора, будучи им лично обращённой в вампира. Хотя она видит в Викторе суррогатного отца (а он в ней – суррогатную дочь), она никогда не перестаёт скорбеть о потере своей настоящей семьи. По словам Кейт Беккинсейл в книге "Создание Подземного мира", к моменту событий первого фильма Селена так долго была солдатом вампирского клана, что дошла до того, что "[Селена] почти забыла, что она женщина, она абсолютно сосредоточена на мести и убийстве, и она действительно преуспевает в этом. Затем она встречает Майкла и начинает вспоминать, каково это – быть человеком, быть рядом с людьми. Она не совсем человек, но где-то глубоко внутри неё всё ещё осталась "человечность". Согласно новеллизациям событий фильмов, до встречи с Майклом Селена никогда не была влюблена. Она не была девственницей; ни любовь, ни похоть не влекли Селену к "плотским утехам" с другими вампирами, а скорее любопытство и одиночество. Такие встречи были немногочисленны, редки и без последствий – лишь мимолетные удовольствия, которые она быстро забывала.
Selene was born in the late 14th century and grew up as a normal, happy, vibrant child. She and her sister Cecilia loved painting pictures and playing games like 'Silly Goose'. However, at the age of nineteen, the untimely and gruesome deaths of her entire family completely broke her heart and left her an orphan. The deaths of her six year old nieces were the most difficult for her to accept. Her family's real murderer, Viktor, tricked her into believing that a pack of Lycans were the ones responsible for the killing. And so, Selene dedicates herself to avenging their deaths. As a Death Dealer (the Vampires' fighting elite), Selene commits herself to the duty of exterminating the Lycans as a species, a duty she sees as 'sacred', burying herself into her work. She also isolates herself, never socialising with anyone outside of the Death Dealers, as the majority of the Vampire Coven are more concerned whiling away their immortal lives in hedonistic pursuits instead of concerning themselves with the serious business of the war against the Lycans. She also serves as one of Viktor's most loyal and most powerful Death Dealers, having been vampirically sired by him personally. While she looks up to Viktor as a surrogate father figure (and he sees her as a surrogate daughter), she never stops to feel grief over the loss of her real family. According to Kate Beckinsale in The Making of Underworld, by the point in time of the events of the first movie, Selene has been a soldier of the Vampire Clan for so long, it has gotten to the point where "[Selene's] almost forgotten she's a woman, she's absolutely focused on revenge and killing, and she's really good at it. Then, she meets Michael, she starts to get a kind of memory of what it's like to be human, and to be with humans. She's not completely human, but she is actually 'human' somewhere underneath there." According to the novelisations of the events of the movies, prior to crossing paths with Michael, Selene has never been in love before. She was not a virgin; neither love nor lust had lured Selene into 'carnal encounters' with other vampires, but rather curiosity and loneliness. Such encounters are few, infrequent, and without consequence, all of them temporary indulgences quickly put behind her.
Личность
Селена прямолинейна и упряма, даже в ущерб себе, не желая отступать, когда она знает, что что-то не так, особенно при расследовании активности ликанов. Это может дойти до того, что она подвергает себя опасности, как, например, когда потеряла сознание от потери крови за рулем автомобиля после предупреждения Майкла о том, что ей не следует водить в таком состоянии. Селену описывают как обладающую "стальным взглядом" и большой "эмоциональной независимостью" от остального Ковена, а также "исключительным интеллектом" и "острой интуицией". В официальной биографии "Подземного мира" говорится, что она "почти никому не доверяет" и что у нее есть "страсть к правде, хотя и отравленная жаждой мести", которая "загоняет ее в нежелательную, жестокую и трагическую судьбу". После столетий военной дисциплины, будучи Диллером Смерти вампирского клана, Селена давно выработала почти непроницаемую, стоическую внешность. Селена не отличается чувством юмора и, пожалуй, является одним из самых честных вампиров во всей франшизе. Она также в некотором роде идеалистка, верящая в определенные идеалы, такие как справедливость. Хотя она вампир уже шесть столетий, Селена охотно взаимодействовала лишь с другими Диллерами Смерти и никогда не находила общего языка со своими сородичами (большинство из которых слишком поглощены своими собственными стремлениями к удовольствиям), в отличие от них, Селена никогда не забывала, почему стала вампиром и что они ведут войну с ликанами, что заставляет ее считать их лентяями и обузой, поэтому ей мало важно, что они о ней думают. В первой части Крайвен, воображающий себя ее поклонником, жалуется, что она уделяет слишком много внимания охоте и убийству ликанов и относится к "этому воинскому делу слишком серьезно". Селена, в свою очередь, считает Крайвена "свиньей, трусом и невыносимым эгоистом", слишком увлеченным собой, чтобы даже заметить, что Селена просто не хочет иметь с ним ничего общего, не говоря уже о том, чтобы быть его трофеем на светских мероприятиях Ковена. Она избегает его встреч, решительно отвергает его романтические ухаживания публично и в частном порядке и предпочитает посвящать каждый час своего бодрствования своему призванию Диллера Смерти. В основном Селена кажется "ледяной" и "бесстрастной" тем, кто не удосуживается сблизиться с ней, как большинство членов Ковена. После многих лет дисциплинированной службы Селена привыкла контролировать свои эмоции и сохранять хладнокровие в пылу битвы и перед лицом опасности. Эта же строгая ментальность иногда затрудняла ей открытость другим, особенно Майклу в начале истории. По ее собственному признанию, она "плохо разбирается в чувствах". В первой новеллизации ее описывают как "более комфортно обсуждающую методы допроса", чем "раскрывающую темную сторону вампирского образа жизни". В "Подземном мире: Пробуждение" ее собственная дочь легко ошибочно интерпретирует ее поведение как "холодное, как у уже мертвого", прежде чем Селена объясняет, что ее сердце не холодно, но разбито (поскольку Майкла нет рядом в то время). Селена также привыкла преуменьшать любую боль или раны, которые она получила – привычка, с которой Майкл уже знаком. Трещины в эмоциональной броне Селены начинают проявляться, когда она и человек Майкл Корвин впервые встречаются в метро, незадолго до перестрелки в начале первого фильма. Другие вампиры, такие как Крайвен и Эрика, быстро улавливают чувства Селены к Майклу, прежде чем она сама это осознает. Они испытывают взаимное "динамическое притяжение" с первого взгляда, и отношения между ними начинают развиваться, даже после того, как она узнает, что Майкла укусил ликан, когда она пыталась защитить его от них. Из-за его невинности Селена защищает Майкла как от вампиров, так и от ликанов, прекрасно зная, что Виктор убьет ее за это. Селена также становится заметно более жестокой, когда страдают или умирают ее близкие. Когда ее семью убили, она начала кровавую вендетту против ликанов (которых Виктор убедил ее считать виновными), которая продолжалась более шести столетий, пока ей не открылась правда. Когда она узнает о причастности Виктора к убийству ее семьи и видит, что он собирается убить Майкла, она рассекает ему голову его же мечом, не колеблясь, при первом же удобном случае. Более того, когда она верит, что Майкла убил Маркус, она отправляется на самоубийственную миссию, чтобы уничтожить Маркуса и Уильяма, прежде чем гибридные способности Майкла вернут его к жизни; Селене все равно, умрет она или нет, лишь бы она могла утащить за собой Маркуса и Уильяма. Когда Маркус упоминает ее семью, после того как пронзил ее крылом, говоря о том, что "Виктору следовало убить ее вместе с остальными", (в новеллизации Маркус также называет их "незначительными"), в приступе ярости Селена отламывает крыло в суставе и использует его, чтобы вонзить Маркусу в голову, а затем столкнуть его в вращающиеся лопасти вертолета. В "Подземном мире: Пробуждение", когда ее дочь похищают ликаны на объекте Antigen, Селена устраивает атаку на здание, заманивая ликанскую охрану в ловушку, поднимаясь на лифте и устанавливая взрывчатку с серебристым газом на каждом этаже, чтобы вернуть свою дочь.
Selene is headstrong and stubborn, even to a fault, not willing to back down when she knows something is wrong when she is investigating Lycan activity. This can continue even to the point of endangering herself, such as when she passed out from blood loss at the wheel of her car after Michael warned her against driving in her condition. Selene is described as being "steely eyed" and having great "emotional independence" from the rest of the Coven, as well being of "extreme intelligence" and of "sharp intuition". In her Underworld official bio, it is stated that she "trusts almost no one", and that she has a "passion for truth, albeit laced with vengeance", which "traps her in a reluctantly violent and tragic purpose". After centuries of militaristic discipline, having served as a Death Dealer of the vampire clan, Selene had long since developed a near impervious, stoic external demeanor. Selene is not known for a sense of humor and is actually one of the most honest vampires in the franchise. She is also something of an idealist, believing in certain ideals as justice. Although a vampire for six centuries, Selene only really willingly interacted with other Death Dealers and has never fit in with her own kind (most of whom are too absorbed in their own pursuits of self gratification) unlike them, Selene has never forgotten why she became a vampire and that they are at war with the Lycans, which leads her to consider them layabouts and dead weight, so she cares little for what they all think of her. In the first installment, Kraven, who fancies himself as her suitor, complains that she pays far too much attention to hunting and killing Lycans, and that she takes "this warrior business far too seriously". Selene, meanwhile, regards Kraven as "a pig, a coward and an insufferable egotist" who is too wrapped up in himself to even pick up on the fact that Selene simply doesn't want anything to do with him, let alone be his arm trophy at the coven's social events. She dodges his social gatherings, she outright rejects his romantic advances at every turn, in public and in private and she prefers to dedicate her every waking hour into her calling as a Death Dealer. For the most part, Selene comes across as "icy" and "unemotional" to those who don't really bother to get close to her, like most of the coven. After years of being a disciplined soldier, Selene is well into the habit of keeping her emotions in check and keeps her cool in the heat of battle and the face of danger. This same rigorous mentality has made it difficult sometimes to open up to others, especially Michael, early in the story. By her own admission, she's "not good with feelings". In the first novelisation, she is described as being "much more comfortable discussing interrogation techniques" than "divulging the seamier underside of the vampiric lifestyle". In Underworld: Awakening, her own daughter easily misinterprets her behaviour for being "as cold as one already dead", before Selene explains that her heart isn't cold, but it is broken (as Michael is missing at the time) Selene is also in the habit of downplaying any pain or wounds she has received a habit of hers that Michael has since become familiar with. Cracks in Selene's emotional armour start to show themselves when she and then human Michael Corvin meet for the first time at a subway, moments before a shootout, at the beginning of the first film. Other vampires, like Kraven and Erika, quickly catch on to Selene's feelings towards Michael before even she herself does. The two experience a mutual "dynamic attraction" at first sight and things start to escalate between the two of them, even after she learns that Michael has been bitten by a lycan while she was trying to protect him from them. Because of his innocence, Selene defends Michael from both vampire and lycan, knowing full well Viktor would kill her for doing so. Selene also becomes noticeably more violent when those she loves suffer or die. When her family was murdered, she went on a revenge spree against the Lycans (whom she had been led to believe were responsible by Viktor) that lasted over six centuries, until the truth was revealed to her. When she learns of Viktor's hand in her family's murder and sees him about to kill Michael, she slices through his head with his own sword the first shot she gets, without hesitation. Furthermore, when she believes Michael dead by Markus' hand, she goes on a suicide mission to eliminate Markus and William, before Michael's hybrid abilities revive him; Selene doesn't care if she dies, just as long as she can take Markus and William down with her. When Markus brings up her family, after impaling her with one of his wing talons, saying how it was a "mistake" for Viktor to have "(kept Selene) as a pet. He should have killed you with the rest of your family" (in the novelisation, Markus also calls them "insignificant"); in a fit of rage, Selene snaps the wing talon off at a joint, using it to stab him through the head before pushing him into the spinning rotors of a helicopter. In Underworld: Awakening, when her daughter is taken by the Lycans at the Antigen facility, Selene stages an attack on the building, luring the lycan security personnel into a trap by taking the elevator up the building and setting silver gas explosives at every floor, to get back her daughter.
История
Как показано в первом и втором фильмах, Селена родилась в венгерской семье; её отец, мать, старшая сестра Сесилия и её племянницы-близнецы. По оценкам, Селена родилась около 1383 года. В какой-то момент к отцу Селены обращается могущественный военачальник по имени Виктор с заказом спроектировать и построить тюрьму. Согласно новеллизациям, отец Селены известен как опытный каменщик и кузнец; заказ включает в себя раскопки нового подземелья и тюрьмы под крепостью Виктора, а также изготовление двух уникальных ключей для одной конкретной камеры. Селене около 6-7 лет, когда строительство тюрьмы завершено. Спустя семь лет, в возрасте 13-14 лет, Селена становится тётей дочерей-близнецов своей старшей сестры. Зимой, во время побега Люциана, примерно через 6 лет, Виктор опасается, что Люциан может знать о Уильяме, прародителе всех ликанов (учитывая, что Люциан, знал он об этом или нет, теперь владеет одним из ключей от тюрьмы Уильяма). Чтобы сохранить местонахождение тюрьмы Уильяма в секрете, Виктор убивает всех, кто участвовал в строительстве тюрьмы, и всех, кто мог её посетить или увидеть. Однажды ночью Виктор проникает на ферму семьи Селены, убивает и насыщается ими одного за другим. Однако, когда он встречает Селену, он обнаруживает, что "не может вынести мысли о том, чтобы высосать из неё все силы" (как описал Крейвен) – "[Селена], которая так напоминала ему его драгоценную Сонью". В ту ночь Виктор превращает Селену в вампира. Ей 19 лет, когда это происходит. Он заставляет её поверить, что виновниками убийства её семьи являются ликаны, и что Виктор спас её от них. Он утверждает, что выслеживал ликанов, когда они привели его на ферму её семьи. С силой вампира, говорит Виктор Селене, она сможет отомстить за них всех. Селена – единственная выжившая, прошедшая по коридорам крепости. Виктор не убивает её из-за сходства с его покойной дочерью и убеждения, что она слишком юна, чтобы помнить точное местонахождение крепости. Селена становится Дрейкером Смерти, сражаясь с ликанами за месть. На протяжении последующих столетий (более тысячи лет) она служит Виктору с безоговорочной преданностью, оставаясь в неведении о том, что её семью убил сам Виктор. По приказу Виктора Селена изгоняет Андреаса Таниса, официального историка Ковена. В какой-то момент она также становится невольным объектом романтического влечения Крейвена, регента Ковена.
As revealed in the first & second films, Selene is born to a Hungarian family; her father, mother, her older sister Cecilia, and her baby twin nieces. Selene is estimated to have been born around the year 1383. At some point, Selene's father is approached by a powerful warlord named Viktor with a commission to design and build a prison. According to the novelisations, Selene's father is well known as both a stone mason and blacksmith; and the commission involves the excavation of a new dungeon and prison under a fortress of Viktor's, as well as striking two unique keys for one cell in particular. Selene is around 6 7 years old when work on the prison is completed. Seven years later, at around the age of 13 to 14 years, Selene becomes an aunt to her older sister's twin daughters. During the winter of Lucian's escape, about 6 years later, Viktor fears that Lucian may know of William, the progenitor of all werewolves, (given that Lucian, whether he knew it or not, was now holding one of the keys to William's prison): To Keep the Location of William's prison a secret, Viktor kills everyone involved in the construction of the prison and anyone who may have visited or seen the fortress. One night, Viktor prowls into the farm of Selene's family, kills, and feeds upon them one by one. When he comes across Selene, however, he finds that he 'could not bear the thought of draining [her] dry', (as described by Kraven) '[Selene], who reminded him so much of his precious Sonja'. That night, Viktor turns Selene into a vampire. She is 19 years old when turned. He leads her to believe that the culprits of the murder of her family are Lycans and that Viktor saved her from them. He claims to have been tracking The Lycans when they led him to her family's farm. With the strength of a vampire, Viktor tells Selene, she can avenge them all. Selene is the only survivor to have walked through the corridors of the fortress. Viktor does not kill her because of her resemblance to his deceased daughter and his belief that she is much too young to remember where exactly the fortress' location is. Selene goes on to become a Death Dealer, fighting against the Lycans for vengeance. For the centuries that follow, (the better part of a thousand years) she serves under Viktor with blind loyalty, remaining in the dark about her family's murder by none other than Viktor himself. On Viktor's orders, Selene exiles Andreas Tanis, the Coven's official historian. At some point, she also becomes the unwilling object of the romantic interests of Kraven, the Coven's regent.
Подземный мир
После столкновения с наёмным убийцей-ликаном Рейзом, она обнаруживает то, что предположительно является логовом ликанов. Она приходит в ярость, когда Крейвен отвергает её опасения, не подозревая, что Крейвен заключил союз с лидером ликанов Люцианом, чтобы захватить контроль над вампирским миром у Старейшин. Она выслеживает Майкла Корвина, полагая, что ликаны заинтересованы в нём. Вопреки священным законам Вампирского Завета, она и Майкл, заражённый вирусом ликантропии, влюбляются друг в друга. Она пробуждает Виктора от глубокого сна (торпора), веря, что только он способен остановить заговор Крейвена и Люциана. Затем она возглавляет массированную атаку на подземный бункер ликанов. После того, как Майкл получает ранение от нитрата серебра, нанесённое Крейвеном, Селена вынуждена заразить Майкла своим вампирским штаммом, чтобы спасти ему жизнь, таким образом создав первого гибрида. Она также узнаёт от Крейвена правду об убийце своей семьи и, воспользовавшись моментом, когда Старейшина сражается с Майклом, убивает Виктора. Затем она забирает кулон Сони, продолжая её дело.
After a confrontation with the Lycan hitman Raze, she discovers what is supposedly a Lycan lair. She is angry when Kraven dismisses her claims, not knowing that Kraven is in league with the Lycan leader Lucian in a bid to take over the control of the vampire realm from the Elders. She tracks down Michael Corvin, in whom she believes the Lycans have an interest. Against the sacred laws of The Vampire Covenant, she and Michael, who is infected with the lycanthropy virus, fall in love. She awakens Viktor from his deep slumber (torpor), believing that only he has the power to deal with the conspiracy between Kraven and Lucian. She then leads a mass assault on the Lycans' underground bunker. After Michael is shot with silver nitrate by Kraven, Selene is forced to infect Michael with her vampire strain in order to save his life, thus making him the first hybrid. She also learns the truth about the identity of her family's killer from Kraven; she strikes Viktor down while the Elder is preoccupied fighting Michael. She then retrieves Sonja's pendant, carrying on her legacy.
Подземный мир: Эволюция
В "Подполье: Эволюция" после смерти Виктора Селин и Майкл скрываются от ликанов и вампиров. Они сталкиваются с Маркусом, последним выжившим вампиром-старейшиной. Теперь он – доминирующий гибрид вампира, из-за того, что он поглотил кровь ликанского ученого Синга, которая просочилась в его покои. Когда Маркус нападает на нее, Майкл вмешивается и сражается с ним, чтобы защитить Селин. Едва избежав Маркуса и солнечного света, Селин и Майкл укрываются на складе и начинают любовную связь. Селин также вспоминает, что видела кулон, который Маркус пытался заполучить, когда была ребенком. Чтобы выяснить, зачем Маркусу нужен этот кулон, она обращается к Андреасу Танису. Танис рассказывает ей правду о гибели ее семьи (они были убиты после того, как Люциан начал восстание, чтобы не допустить освобождения Уильяма), и раскрывает ей, что, вопреки распространенному мнению, Маркус, а не Виктор, является изначальным вампиром. Затем он организует встречу для нее и Майкла с Александром Корвинусом, отцом Маркуса и первым истинным бессмертным. Селин гневается на Александра за то, что он не устранил угрозу, которую представляли его сыновья, Маркус и Уильям. Александр парирует вопросом, убила бы она своего сына. Внезапное нападение Маркуса, в ходе которого Майкл, по-видимому, погибает, также приводит к тому, что воспоминания Селин о крепости раскрываются Маркусу через ее кровь. Александр, умирая от ран, нанесенных сыном, говорит Селин, что единственный способ победить Маркуса и Уильяма – выпить его легендарную кровь бессмертия, добавив, что она станет "Будущим". Селин обретает силу и новые способности благодаря крови Александра. Она и отряд "Чистильщиков" Александра (которые, как и Майкл, являются потомками Александра через его третьего сына) вторгаются в подземелье Уильяма, пытаясь остановить угрозу. Однако они прибывают слишком поздно, и Селин вынуждена сразиться с Маркусом. Маркус потрясен запахом крови своего отца, циркулирующей в венах Селин. Заперев Маркуса в подземелье Уильяма, Селин обнаруживает, что Уильям заразил всех выживших "Чистильщиков", сопровождавших ее, и они превращаются в ликанов. Маркус убивает последних оставшихся "Чистильщиков", управляющих вертолетом, обеспечивающим поддержку с воздуха и подавление огня. Когда вертолет падает, вращающиеся лопасти продолжают представлять опасность для сражающихся. Селин вновь вступает в бой с Маркусом, и старейшина пронзает ее грудь крылатым когтем. Селин, наделенная древней и чистой кровью Александра, вырывает когти и вонзает их вверх, в череп Маркуса, а затем бросает его в вращающиеся лопасти и убивает. После того, как Селин побеждает Маркуса, а Майкл – Уильяма, солнечный свет падает на руку Селин, показывая, что кровь Александра избавила ее от вампирской слабости к солнечному свету.
In Underworld: Evolution, after Viktor's death, Selene and Michael go on the run from both Lycans and Vampires. They are confronted by Markus, the last surviving Vampire Elder. He is now a Vampire Dominant Hybrid, due to his ingesting the blood of Lycan scientist Singe, which seeped into his chamber. As Markus attacks her, Michael intervenes and battles him to protect her. After narrowly escaping Markus and the sunlight, Selene and Michael take refuge in a warehouse and begin a sexual relationship. Selene also finds that she has seen the pendant that Markus was trying to get, when she was a child. In order to find out why Markus was after the pendant, she seeks out Andreas Tanis. Tanis tells her the truth about her family's slaughter, (they were killed after Lucian began his revolution to keep William from being freed,) and reveals to her that, contrary to popular belief, Markus, not Viktor, is the original vampire. He then sets up a meeting for her and Michael with Alexander Corvinus, Markus's father and the first true immortal. Selene is angered at Alexander for not removing the threat his sons, Markus and William, posed long ago. Alexander retorts by asking her if she would murder her own son. An interruption by Markus, in which Michael is seemingly killed, also results in Selene's memories of the fortress to be revealed to Markus through her blood. Alexander, dying from his son's attack, tells Selene that the only way to defeat Markus and William is to drink his legendary immortal blood, adding that she will become "The Future". Selene gains greater strength and new powers from Alexander's blood. She and a squad of Alexander's Cleaners (who, like Michael, are Alexander's descendants through his third son) invade William's dungeon, trying to stop the threat. They arrive too late, however, and Selene is forced to fight Markus. Markus is shocked at the smell of his father's blood coursing through Selene's veins. Locking Markus in William's dungeon, Selene discovers that William infected all surviving members of the six Cleaners escorting her, all of which become Lycans. Markus kills the last remaining Cleaners who are operating a helicopter which provides close air support/suppressing fire. When it crashes, the rotors continue to spin dangerously close to those in the fray. Selene fights Markus once more, and the Elder drives his wing talon through her chest. Selene, empowered by Alexander's ancient and pure blood, tears away the talon and drives it upwards through Markus's skull before throwing him into the moving rotor blades and killing him. After Selene defeats Markus and Michael defeats William, sunlight lands on Selene's arm, revealing that Alexander's blood has purged the vampiric weakness to sunlight.
Подземный мир: Восхождение ликанов (2009)
Подземный мир: Восхождение ликанов – американский фильм 2009 года режиссёра Патрика Татопулоса. Это третья часть (хронологически первая) серии «Подземный мир», фокусирующаяся главным образом на происхождении некоторых персонажей и событиях, приведших к войне вампиров и ликанов, показанной в предыдущих фильмах «Подземный мир» и «Подземный мир: Эволюция». Как показано в фильме, первоначальные оборотни были неуправляемыми зверями, неспособными вернуться в человеческий облик после укуса. Однако, был один оборотень, родивший ребёнка, выглядевшего как человек. Этот ребёнок унаследовал мутацию исходного патогена, позволяющую ему превращаться из человека в оборотня и обратно. Это был Луциан, которого Виктор прозвал «первым из ликанов». Вампиры использовали ликанов в качестве рабов для охраны своих убежищ днём и выполнения работ ночью. Однако дочь Виктора, Соня, и Луциан полюбили друг друга, и она забеременела. Луциан, лидер ликанов, возглавил восстание после того, как Виктор убил Соню, чтобы предотвратить смешение рас. Затем показана вступительная сцена первого фильма «Подземный мир», где голос вампира Крейвена раскрывает Селин, что именно Виктор убил её семью, а не ликаны. Крейвен добавляет, что Виктор пощадил Селин, потому что она напомнила ему его казнённую дочь Соню. Селин, не подозревая правды, отвергает заявление Крейвена как «ложь».
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is a 2009 American film directed by Patrick Tatopoulos. It is the third installment (chronologically the first) in the Underworld series, focusing primarily on the origins of some characters and the events leading to the vampirelycan war, depicted in the previous films Underworld and Underworld: Evolution. As shown in the film, the original werewolves were uncontrollable beasts, unable to retake human form once bitten. However, there was a single werewolf who gave birth to a human looking child. This child carried a mutation of the original pathogen, permitting him to alternate between human and werewolf form. He was Lucian, dubbed by Viktor as "the first of the Lycans". The vampires used the Lycans as slaves to be the guardians of their lairs during the daylight hours and labor during the night. However, Viktor's daughter, Sonja, and Lucian fell in love and she became pregnant. Lucian, the lycan leader, led a revolt after Viktor killed Sonja to prevent the blending of the species. The opening scene of the first Underworld film is then shown with the voice of vampire Kraven revealing to Selene that it was Viktor who killed her family, not the Lycans. Kraven adds that Viktor spared Selene's life because she reminded him of his executed daughter Sonja. Selene, unaware of the truth, dismisses Kraven's statement as "lies".
Подземный мир: Пробуждение
В фильме «Underworld: Пробуждение» Селин сбегает из заключения и обнаруживает, что мир узнал о существовании кланов вампиров и ликанов, и развернул полномасштабную войну с целью уничтожения обоих бессмертных видов. Однако Селин и её два новых союзника – Дэвид (молодой вампир) и детектив Себастьян (потерявший жену после того, как его раскрыли как вампира) – раскрывают тайный заговор, организованный отступниками из клана ликанов, в ходе войны людей против обоих видов. Селин также узнаёт, что она родила от Майкла дочь, Еву, которая родилась во время её искусственной спячки. Несмотря на то, что они никогда не встречались и не узнали друг друга после рождения Евы, Селин в конечном итоге устанавливает связь со своей дочерью. Селин сражается, чтобы спасти Еву и Майкла, сталкиваясь с «Суперликаном», обладающим способностями, схожими с её собственными, включая невероятную скорость регенерации и иммунитет к серебру. В конечном итоге Селин убивает Суперликана и спасает Еву, которая убивает ликанского врача, ответственного за эксперименты. Когда они пытаются спасти Майкла (которого Селин нашла и ослабила криогенную капсулу ранее), они обнаруживают, что он уже сбежал, и не могут его найти, но Селин знает, что на него будут охотиться, как и на Еву. Ранее в фильме Дэвид предлагает ей вернуться в вампирский клан, надеясь, что она согласится обучать новое поколение Жнецов Смерти в ответ на угрозы со стороны людей и ликанов, поскольку многие из них скрываются от врагов или погибли.
In Underworld: Awakening, Selene escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans, and are conducting an all out war to eradicate both immortal species. However, Selene and her two new allies; David (a young vampire) and Detective Sebastian (who lost his wife after being discovered as a vampire), discover a hidden conspiracy from rogue members of the Lycan clan within the humans' war against both species, and also finds that she has mothered a child with Michael, Eve, who was born during Selene's suspended animation. Despite their never having met or become acquainted with one another since Eve's birth, Selene ultimately bonds with her daughter. Selene battles to rescue Eve and Michael, facing a 'Super Lycan', with abilities similar to her own including incredible healing rate and an immunity to silver. Eventually Selene kills the Super Lycan, and rescues Eve, who kills the Lycan doctor in charge, but when they go to rescue Michael (whom Selene had found and weakened the cryogenic tank of earlier), they find that he has already escaped and are unable to locate him, but Selene knows he will be hunted like Eve was. Earlier in the film David offers her the opportunity to return to the vampire coven, in hopes she will consent to train a new generation of Death Dealers in response to both the human and Lycan threats, as many of their numbers are either in hiding from their enemies or dead.
Подземный мир: Кровавые войны
После событий "Пробуждения" Селина отправляет Еву в безопасное место, даже не зная, где она находится. Селина хранит прядь волос Евы на память и подвергается преследованиям со стороны ликанов за информацию о местонахождении Евы, а вампиры считают её предательницей за убийство старейшины Виктора. В ответ на угрозу, исходящую от нового лидера ликанов Мариуса, Совет вампиров соглашается даровать Селине милосердие в обмен на обучение ею их Торговцев Смертью борьбе с этой новой угрозой. Дэвид в конце концов убеждает Селину принять предложение, но её предают член Совета Семира и её возлюбленный, Торговец Смертью Варго, поскольку Семира жаждет мести за смерть Виктора и в основном стремится к власти Селины. С помощью Дэвида и Томаса Селина сбегает, но не раньше, чем у неё выкачивают не менее литра крови, а Томас погибает. По последней воле Томаса, Дэвид и Селина отправляются в Нордический ковен, где выясняется, что Дэвид – сын старейшины Амелии и её законный наследник. Селина знакомится с нордической воительницей Леной, которая показывает ей процесс окукливания Нордического ковена, позволяющий получить доступ к "особому месту" между мирами и усилить свои способности. Вскоре после этого Мариус и его ликаны атакуют ковен, и Селина терпит поражение. Мариус узнаёт из воспоминаний, содержащихся в крови Селины, что она действительно не знает, где находится Ева, и, вспомнив, что Лена рассказала ей о том, что окукливание начинается с погружения вампира в воду, Селина погружается в замерзшее озеро. Позже её находят Дэвид и Лена и правильно окукливают. Во время нападения ликанов на Восточный ковен Селина возвращается с усиленными благодаря окукливанию способностями, одетая в плащ члена Нордического ковена, а её волосы частично побелели. Селина возглавляет нордических вампиров на помощь Восточному ковену и сражается с Мариусом, узнав из его воспоминаний, что он убил её возлюбленного Майкла и использует его кровь для временного усиления своих способностей (считая, что кровь Евы сделает это усиление постоянным). Селина использует свою новую скорость, чтобы оказаться за Мариусом и вырвать ему позвоночник, убив его. Затем Дэвид использует голову Мариуса, чтобы заставить оставшихся ликанов отступить. После битвы Селина помогает лечить раненых вампиров и избирается одной из новых старейшин вампиров, вместе с Дэвидом и Леной, став одним из трёх новых лидеров всего вампирского рода. В коротком флэшфорварде раскрывается, что Селина воссоединилась с Евой, находясь в Нордическом ковене.
Following the events of Awakening, Selene sends Eve away for her own safety with not even Selene knowing where she is. Selene keeps a lock of Eve's hair in remembrance and is hunted by the Lycans for Eve's location and the Vampires as a traitor for killing the Vampire Elder Viktor. In response to the threat posed by new Lycan leader Marius, the Vampire Council agrees to grant Selene clemency in exchange for Selene training their Death Dealers to fight this new threat. David eventually convinces Selene to take the offer, but she is betrayed by Council member Semira and her lover Death Dealer Varga as Semira desires revenge for Viktor's death and mostly covets Selene's power for herself. With the help of David and Thomas, Selene escapes, but not before at least a litre of her blood is drained, and Thomas killed. Following Thomas' last wishes, David and Selene travel to the Nordic Coven where David is revealed to be the son of the Vampire Elder Amelia and her rightful heir. Selene meets Nordic warrior, Lena, who shows her the Nordic Coven's cocooning process, a process that enables them to access the "special place" between worlds and enhance their abilities. Shortly afterwards, Marius and his Lycans attack the Coven and Selene is defeated. Marius learns from Selene's blood memories that she truly does not know where Eve is and remembering that Lena told her the cocooning process starts with the Vampire submerging themselves in water, Selene submerges herself in a frozen lake. She is later retrieved by David and Lena and cocooned properly. During the Lycan attack on the Eastern Coven, Selene returns with her powers enhanced by the cocooning, wearing the coat of a member of the Nordic Coven and with her hair having turned partially white. Selene leads the Nordic Vampires to the aid of the Eastern Coven and battles Marius, learning from his blood memories that he murdered her lover Michael and is using his blood to temporarily increase his own abilities (believing that Eve's blood will make this permanent). Selene uses her new speed to get behind Marius and rip out his spine, killing him. David is then able to use Marius' head to get the remaining Lycans to retreat. Following the battle, Selene helps to treat the injured Vampires wounds and is elected one of the new Vampire Elders, alongside David and Lena, making Selene one of the three new leaders of the entire Vampire race. In a flash forward, it is revealed that Selene was reunited with Eve while at the Nordic Coven.
Умения и вампирские атрибуты
Селена владеет многими видами оружия, средневековым и современным. Она отлично разбирается как в метательном, так и в ближнем бою. Современное огнестрельное оружие, которое она использует, включает Walther P99 и различные полностью автоматические пистолеты-пулеметы. Селена также является экспертом в рукопашном бою. В фильме "Кровавые войны" о ее боевых навыках говорится, что она "не имеет себе равных". Во всех трех фильмах она прыгает с уступа высотой не менее ста футов и приземляется без травм. Как вампир, Селена часто демонстрирует превосходные физические способности. После поглощения штамма Корвина непосредственно от Александра Корвина, силы Селены значительно возросли. После проведения священного ритуала Нордического Ковена, и без того невероятные силы Селены были еще больше усилены. Селена считается "чистейшим вампиром" благодаря крови Александра Корвина и является одним из самых могущественных, если не самым могущественным, вампиром во времена "Кровавых войн".
Selene is proficient with many weapons, medieval and modern. She is well versed with both projectile and melee weapons. Modern firearms that she uses include the Walther P99 and a variety of fully automatic machine pistols. Selene is also an expert in unarmed combat. In Blood Wars, Selene's combat skills are stated to be "second to none." In all three films, she is seen jumping from a ledge of at least one hundred feet and landing without injury. As a vampire, Selene frequently demonstrates superior physical abilities. After absorbing the Corvinus strain directly from Alexander Corvinus, Selene's powers were greatly upgraded. Following her use of the Nordic Coven's sacred ritual, Selene's already incredible powers were greatly enhanced. Selene is stated to be "the Purest Vampire" due to having Alexander Corvinus' blood and is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful Vampire at the time of Blood Wars. Superhuman agility: Selene is able to perform athletic moves, such as doing a backflip into a hole in a bridge and leaping from tree to tree in an instant. In Awakening, she is able to do a spinning head scissors to a Lycan and is seen jumping over two cars with one hand. Selene's agility has proven to help her in battle against the Lycans, allowing her to take on multiple Lycans at once. She has shown the ability of cling in the walls like an insect. Superhuman healing: She can heal rapidly from most wounds in just minutes, including sunlight burns and a shotgun blast to the abdomen. However, injuries that result in massive loss of blood in a short time can be fatal and she must ingest fresh blood in order to properly heal. After becoming a Vampire Corvinus Strain Hybrid, her healing powers were increased to the point where she could withstand Marcus's wing talon being impaled through her chest without suffering any visible effects and survive after being shot in the head and other parts of her body. She is also seen to be able to force bullets out of her body. Superhuman strength: Being a vampire, later a vampire human hybrid, Selene is even much stronger than humans and most other supernatural creatures. She grabs Michael by the throat and holds him against a wall several feet off the ground, performs spectacular leaps, and strikes her enemies with tremendous force. She is able to kill younger vampires with just a few blows and manhandles four police officers with ease. She is shown to be able to engage Lycans in close quarter combat without being harmed, even before becoming infected with the Corvinus strain. After her infection, she is shown to be able to ram her arm through a Lycan in battle and has also gone toe to toe in physical fight against Marcus, despite his status as the first vampire and a hybrid. In the stunt's featurette on the Underworld DVD/Blu ray, the stunt coordinators mention how they have to make it look like Selene had the "strength of ten men". In Underworld: Awakening, she uses the greatest extent of her strength seen to date when she flips a van, which has momentum equal to 180 tons. In Underworld: Blood Wars, thanks to the Nordic Coven's enhancement, Selene is able to rip the spine out of a transformed Lycan hybrid with her bare hands. Superhuman speed: She moves with incredible celerity, able to move between streets and run across hallways appearing as nothing more than a blurred image. In Underworld: Evolution, Selene was quick enough to sprint by and incapacitate a group of police officers without them being able to keep up with her movements. In Underworld: Awakening, she is shown speeding through two lines of armed guards while slitting their throats with a scalpel in the process, and then disappearing in an instant. She also demonstrates speed akin to teleportation when she breaks into a scientist's apartment and moves right next to him in an instant. In Underworld: Blood Wars, after her powers are enhanced by the Nordic Coven, Selene's speed grows to the point that she can move about as a blur that no one is capable of following. Superhuman senses: Being a vampire she has increased senses like hearing, sight, smell, etc. Superhuman durability: She is seen jumping from a ledge at least 100 feet (12 floors) high and landing without injury. She can leap to high places with ease, seen when jumping over large fences. She can take a shotgun blast to the abdomen without flinching. She is able to perform amazing feats of strength without fatigue and can withstand the crushing depths of the ocean without a wetsuit or breathing apparatus. Blood sorting: In Underworld: Awakening, Selene demonstrates the ability to absorb and read another Immortal's blood memories (similar to that of what the Elders did) by drinking the blood of her daughter, Eve. In Underworld: Blood Wars, she is able to use this ability to read the memories of David, the Lycan Marius and herself by drinking her own blood. Immunity to UV light: Due to her nature as a vampire human hybrid, Selene possesses a pure Immortal's immunity to UV light. At the end of Underworld: Evolution, her eyes are shown to be able to turn almost a pure white and she is now able to walk in the sunlight. Selene is shown using this ability to ambush the Lycans in daylight during Underworld: Awakening and to escape with David in Underworld: Blood Wars. When talking with Detective Sebastian, Selene calls her UV immunity a gift from Alexander Corvinus. Sensory synchronization: Selene and her daughter can perceive each other psychically when in relatively close proximity to each other. Resurrection: Selene has displayed the ability to resurrect deceased vampires as vampire human hybrids like herself by applying her blood directly to their hearts as she did when she resurrected David in Underworld: Awakening. This is an ability unique to her as shown by other vampires' amazement over her ability to resurrect David in Underworld: Awakening. Increased speed: In Underworld: Blood Wars, is later revealed Selene had been resurrected by the Nordic Coven after undergoing the ritual of passing to the sacred world, and had received new powers, including enhanced speed.
Сверхчеловеческая ловкость: Селена способна выполнять акробатические трюки, такие как переворот в отверстие в мосту и перепрыгивать с дерева на дерево в мгновение ока. В фильме "Пробуждение" она выполняет вращающийся захват головы ликана и перепрыгивает через две машины одной рукой. Ее ловкость помогает ей в бою против ликанов, позволяя сражаться с несколькими одновременно. Она демонстрирует способность цепляться за стены, подобно насекомому.

Сверхчеловеческое исцеление: Она может быстро восстанавливаться от большинства ран за считанные минуты, включая солнечные ожоги и огнестрельное ранение в живот. Однако травмы, приводящие к значительной кровопотере за короткий промежуток времени, могут быть смертельными, и ей необходимо употреблять свежую кровь для полноценного восстановления. После превращения в гибрида вампира и штамма Корвина, ее способность к исцелению возросла настолько, что она выдержала пронзание крыла Маркуса грудью без видимых последствий и пережила выстрел в голову и другие части тела. Она также способна выталкивать пули из своего тела.

Сверхчеловеческая сила: будучи вампиром, а затем гибридом вампира и человека, Селена намного сильнее людей и большинства других сверхъестественных существ. Она хватает Майкла за горло и прижимает к стене на несколько футов над землей, выполняет впечатляющие прыжки и наносит удары с огромной силой. Она способна убить молодых вампиров всего несколькими ударами и легко справляется с четырьмя полицейскими. Она демонстрирует способность вступать в ближний бой с ликанами, не получая вреда, даже до заражения штаммом Корвина. После заражения она показала, что может пронзить руку ликана в бою, а также сражалась на равных с Маркусом, несмотря на его статус первого вампира и гибрида. В ролике о трюках на DVD/Blu-ray "Подземного мира" координаторы трюков отмечают, что им приходилось создавать иллюзию того, что у Селены "сила десяти мужчин". В фильме "Подземный мир: Пробуждение" она демонстрирует свою максимальную силу, переворачивая фургон, импульс которого равен 180 тоннам. В фильме "Подземный мир: Кровавые войны", благодаря усилению Нордического Ковена, Селена способна вырвать позвоночник из трансформированного гибрида ликана голыми руками.

At the end of Underworld: Evolution, her eyes are shown to be able to turn almost a pure white and she is now able to walk in the sunlight. Selene is shown using this ability to ambush the Lycans in daylight during Underworld: Awakening and to escape with David in Underworld: Blood Wars. When talking with Detective Sebastian, Selene calls her UV immunity a gift from Alexander Corvinus. Sensory synchronization: Selene and her daughter can perceive each other psychically when in relatively close proximity to each other. Resurrection: Selene has displayed the ability to resurrect deceased vampires as vampire human hybrids like herself by applying her blood directly to their hearts as she did when she resurrected David in Underworld: Awakening. This is an ability unique to her as shown by other vampires' amazement over her ability to resurrect David in Underworld: Awakening. Increased speed: In Underworld: Blood Wars, is later revealed Selene had been resurrected by the Nordic Coven after undergoing the ritual of passing to the sacred world, and had received new powers, including enhanced speed.
Сверхчеловеческая скорость: Она движется с невероятной быстротой, способна перемещаться между улицами и пробегать по коридорам, кажусь лишь размытым изображением. В фильме "Подземный мир: Эволюция" Селена была достаточно быстра, чтобы пробежать мимо и обезвредить группу полицейских, не позволяя им угнаться за ней. В фильме "Подземный мир: Пробуждение" она проносится сквозь два ряда вооруженных охранников, перерезая им горло скальпелем, а затем исчезает в мгновение ока. Она также демонстрирует скорость, близкую к телепортации, когда проникает в квартиру ученого и мгновенно оказывается рядом с ним. В фильме "Подземный мир: Кровавые войны", после усиления ее способностей Нордическим Ковеном, скорость Селены возрастает до такой степени, что она может двигаться как размытое пятно, за которым никто не способен уследить.
Selene is proficient with many weapons, medieval and modern. She is well versed with both projectile and melee weapons. Modern firearms that she uses include the Walther P99 and a variety of fully automatic machine pistols. Selene is also an expert in unarmed combat. In Blood Wars, Selene's combat skills are stated to be "second to none." In all three films, she is seen jumping from a ledge of at least one hundred feet and landing without injury. As a vampire, Selene frequently demonstrates superior physical abilities. After absorbing the Corvinus strain directly from Alexander Corvinus, Selene's powers were greatly upgraded. Following her use of the Nordic Coven's sacred ritual, Selene's already incredible powers were greatly enhanced. Selene is stated to be "the Purest Vampire" due to having Alexander Corvinus' blood and is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful Vampire at the time of Blood Wars. Superhuman agility: Selene is able to perform athletic moves, such as doing a backflip into a hole in a bridge and leaping from tree to tree in an instant. In Awakening, she is able to do a spinning head scissors to a Lycan and is seen jumping over two cars with one hand. Selene's agility has proven to help her in battle against the Lycans, allowing her to take on multiple Lycans at once. She has shown the ability of cling in the walls like an insect. Superhuman healing: She can heal rapidly from most wounds in just minutes, including sunlight burns and a shotgun blast to the abdomen. However, injuries that result in massive loss of blood in a short time can be fatal and she must ingest fresh blood in order to properly heal. After becoming a Vampire Corvinus Strain Hybrid, her healing powers were increased to the point where she could withstand Marcus's wing talon being impaled through her chest without suffering any visible effects and survive after being shot in the head and other parts of her body. She is also seen to be able to force bullets out of her body. Superhuman strength: Being a vampire, later a vampire human hybrid, Selene is even much stronger than humans and most other supernatural creatures. She grabs Michael by the throat and holds him against a wall several feet off the ground, performs spectacular leaps, and strikes her enemies with tremendous force. She is able to kill younger vampires with just a few blows and manhandles four police officers with ease. She is shown to be able to engage Lycans in close quarter combat without being harmed, even before becoming infected with the Corvinus strain. After her infection, she is shown to be able to ram her arm through a Lycan in battle and has also gone toe to toe in physical fight against Marcus, despite his status as the first vampire and a hybrid. In the stunt's featurette on the Underworld DVD/Blu ray, the stunt coordinators mention how they have to make it look like Selene had the "strength of ten men". In Underworld: Awakening, she uses the greatest extent of her strength seen to date when she flips a van, which has momentum equal to 180 tons. In Underworld: Blood Wars, thanks to the Nordic Coven's enhancement, Selene is able to rip the spine out of a transformed Lycan hybrid with her bare hands. Superhuman speed: She moves with incredible celerity, able to move between streets and run across hallways appearing as nothing more than a blurred image. In Underworld: Evolution, Selene was quick enough to sprint by and incapacitate a group of police officers without them being able to keep up with her movements. In Underworld: Awakening, she is shown speeding through two lines of armed guards while slitting their throats with a scalpel in the process, and then disappearing in an instant. She also demonstrates speed akin to teleportation when she breaks into a scientist's apartment and moves right next to him in an instant. In Underworld: Blood Wars, after her powers are enhanced by the Nordic Coven, Selene's speed grows to the point that she can move about as a blur that no one is capable of following. Superhuman senses: Being a vampire she has increased senses like hearing, sight, smell, etc. Superhuman durability: She is seen jumping from a ledge at least 100 feet (12 floors) high and landing without injury. She can leap to high places with ease, seen when jumping over large fences. She can take a shotgun blast to the abdomen without flinching. She is able to perform amazing feats of strength without fatigue and can withstand the crushing depths of the ocean without a wetsuit or breathing apparatus. Blood sorting: In Underworld: Awakening, Selene demonstrates the ability to absorb and read another Immortal's blood memories (similar to that of what the Elders did) by drinking the blood of her daughter, Eve. In Underworld: Blood Wars, she is able to use this ability to read the memories of David, the Lycan Marius and herself by drinking her own blood. Immunity to UV light: Due to her nature as a vampire human hybrid, Selene possesses a pure Immortal's immunity to UV light. At the end of Underworld: Evolution, her eyes are shown to be able to turn almost a pure white and she is now able to walk in the sunlight.

Сверхчеловеческая выносливость: Она прыгает с уступа высотой не менее 100 футов (12 этажей) и приземляется без повреждений. Она может легко запрыгивать на высокие места, как видно, когда она перепрыгивает через высокие заборы. Она может выдержать выстрел из дробовика в живот, не дрогнув. Она способна совершать невероятные подвиги силы без устали и выдерживать огромное давление на глубине океана без гидрокостюма или дыхательного аппарата.

Иммунитет к ультрафиолету: благодаря своей природе гибрида вампира и человека, Селена обладает иммунитетом к ультрафиолету, свойственному чистокровным бессмертным. В конце фильма "Подземный мир: Эволюция" ее глаза могут становиться почти чисто белыми, и она теперь способна ходить на солнце. Селена использует эту способность, чтобы устроить засаду ликанам при дневном свете в фильме "Подземный мир: Пробуждение" и сбежать с Дэвидом в фильме "Подземный мир: Кровавые войны". Разговаривая с детективом Себастьяном, Селена называет свой иммунитет к ультрафиолету даром Александра Корвина.

She grabs Michael by the throat and holds him against a wall several feet off the ground, performs spectacular leaps, and strikes her enemies with tremendous force. She is able to kill younger vampires with just a few blows and manhandles four police officers with ease. She is shown to be able to engage Lycans in close quarter combat without being harmed, even before becoming infected with the Corvinus strain. After her infection, she is shown to be able to ram her arm through a Lycan in battle and has also gone toe to toe in physical fight against Marcus, despite his status as the first vampire and a hybrid. In the stunt's featurette on the Underworld DVD/Blu ray, the stunt coordinators mention how they have to make it look like Selene had the "strength of ten men". In Underworld: Awakening, she uses the greatest extent of her strength seen to date when she flips a van, which has momentum equal to 180 tons. In Underworld: Blood Wars, thanks to the Nordic Coven's enhancement, Selene is able to rip the spine out of a transformed Lycan hybrid with her bare hands. Superhuman speed: She moves with incredible celerity, able to move between streets and run across hallways appearing as nothing more than a blurred image. In Underworld: Evolution, Selene was quick enough to sprint by and incapacitate a group of police officers without them being able to keep up with her movements. In Underworld: Awakening, she is shown speeding through two lines of armed guards while slitting their throats with a scalpel in the process, and then disappearing in an instant. She also demonstrates speed akin to teleportation when she breaks into a scientist's apartment and moves right next to him in an instant. In Underworld: Blood Wars, after her powers are enhanced by the Nordic Coven, Selene's speed grows to the point that she can move about as a blur that no one is capable of following. Superhuman senses: Being a vampire she has increased senses like hearing, sight, smell, etc. Superhuman durability: She is seen jumping from a ledge at least 100 feet (12 floors) high and landing without injury. She can leap to high places with ease, seen when jumping over large fences. She can take a shotgun blast to the abdomen without flinching. She is able to perform amazing feats of strength without fatigue and can withstand the crushing depths of the ocean without a wetsuit or breathing apparatus. Blood sorting: In Underworld: Awakening, Selene demonstrates the ability to absorb and read another Immortal's blood memories (similar to that of what the Elders did) by drinking the blood of her daughter, Eve. In Underworld: Blood Wars, she is able to use this ability to read the memories of David, the Lycan Marius and herself by drinking her own blood. Immunity to UV light: Due to her nature as a vampire human hybrid, Selene possesses a pure Immortal's immunity to UV light. At the end of Underworld: Evolution, her eyes are shown to be able to turn almost a pure white and she is now able to walk in the sunlight. Selene is shown using this ability to ambush the Lycans in daylight during Underworld: Awakening and to escape with David in Underworld: Blood Wars. When talking with Detective Sebastian, Selene calls her UV immunity a gift from Alexander Corvinus. Sensory synchronization: Selene and her daughter can perceive each other psychically when in relatively close proximity to each other. Resurrection: Selene has displayed the ability to resurrect deceased vampires as vampire human hybrids like herself by applying her blood directly to their hearts as she did when she resurrected David in Underworld: Awakening. This is an ability unique to her as shown by other vampires' amazement over her ability to resurrect David in Underworld: Awakening. Increased speed: In Underworld: Blood Wars, is later revealed Selene had been resurrected by the Nordic Coven after undergoing the ritual of passing to the sacred world, and had received new powers, including enhanced speed.
Воскрешение: Селена продемонстрировала способность воскрешать умерших вампиров в качестве гибридов вампира и человека, как она сама, вводя свою кровь непосредственно в их сердца, как она сделала, когда воскресила Дэвида в фильме "Подземный мир: Пробуждение". Это способность уникальна для нее, о чем свидетельствует удивление других вампиров ее способностью воскресить Дэвида в фильме "Подземный мир: Пробуждение".
Selene is proficient with many weapons, medieval and modern. She is well versed with both projectile and melee weapons. Modern firearms that she uses include the Walther P99 and a variety of fully automatic machine pistols. Selene is also an expert in unarmed combat. In Blood Wars, Selene's combat skills are stated to be "second to none." In all three films, she is seen jumping from a ledge of at least one hundred feet and landing without injury. As a vampire, Selene frequently demonstrates superior physical abilities. After absorbing the Corvinus strain directly from Alexander Corvinus, Selene's powers were greatly upgraded. Following her use of the Nordic Coven's sacred ritual, Selene's already incredible powers were greatly enhanced. Selene is stated to be "the Purest Vampire" due to having Alexander Corvinus' blood and is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful Vampire at the time of Blood Wars. Superhuman agility: Selene is able to perform athletic moves, such as doing a backflip into a hole in a bridge and leaping from tree to tree in an instant. In Awakening, she is able to do a spinning head scissors to a Lycan and is seen jumping over two cars with one hand. Selene's agility has proven to help her in battle against the Lycans, allowing her to take on multiple Lycans at once. She has shown the ability of cling in the walls like an insect. Superhuman healing: She can heal rapidly from most wounds in just minutes, including sunlight burns and a shotgun blast to the abdomen. However, injuries that result in massive loss of blood in a short time can be fatal and she must ingest fresh blood in order to properly heal. After becoming a Vampire Corvinus Strain Hybrid, her healing powers were increased to the point where she could withstand Marcus's wing talon being impaled through her chest without suffering any visible effects and survive after being shot in the head and other parts of her body. She is also seen to be able to force bullets out of her body.

Производственная история
В 2003 году в фильме "Подземный мир" Кейт Беккинсейл заявила о себе как об актрисе и отметила, что эта работа значительно отличалась от всего, что она делала раньше. Беккинсейл призналась, что была благодарна за смену темпа после съёмок в "множестве исторических фильмов, а затем в нескольких романтических комедиях". "Для меня было непросто вжиться в образ героини боевика и пройти все эти тренировки, учитывая, что [в жизни] я не могу поймать мяч, летящий в мою сторону". Фильм получил преимущественно негативные отзывы, но неожиданно стал кассовым хитом и обрёл культовый статус. В сентябре 2003 года, вскоре после выхода "Подземного мира", компании Screen Gems и Lakeshore планировали выпустить приквел как третий фильм после сиквела "Подземный мир: Эволюция". Кейт Беккинсейл, исполнившая роль Селин в "Подземном мире", выразила заинтересованность в возвращении к этой роли как в сиквеле, так и в приквеле. В 2006 году Беккинсейл вновь сыграла Селин в успешном продолжении "Подземный мир: Эволюция", режиссёром которого стал её муж. Это был первый раз, когда она "присоединилась к проекту с момента его зарождения и участвовала во всех этапах, вплоть до монтажа". Её дочь получила небольшую роль юной Селин и проявила себя как профессионал: "Я не думала, что она отнесётся к нам так серьёзно. Мы оба представляли себе ситуацию, похожую на попытку натянуть на неё зимний комбинезон. Но она вдруг стала очень собранной и сказала: «Можете называть меня Селин?» Я сама никогда не настаиваю на том, чтобы меня так называли, так что она точно не переняла это у меня". В самом фильме Селин появляется лишь в коротком эпизоде в конце. Беккинсейл не снимала новых сцен, для начала и завершения фильма была использована сцена из "Подземного мира". Беккинсейл также озвучила монолог в начале фильма. Беккинсейл вернулась к роли Селин в четвёртой части вампирской франшизы "Подземный мир: Пробуждение". Она "не планировала сниматься в продолжении", но её убедило качество сценария: "В таких фильмах действительно важно, чтобы на кону стояло что-то значимое. Иначе это просто куча взрывов и люди, бегающие в обтягивающей одежде".
In 2003's Underworld, Kate Beckinsale became known as an actor and stated that it was markedly different from her previous work and Beckinsale has said she was grateful for the change of pace after appearing in "a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies." "It was quite a challenge for me to play an action heroine and pull off all that training when [in real life] I can't catch a ball if it's coming my way." The film received mostly negative reviews but was a surprise box office hit and has gained a cult following. In September 2003, shortly after the release of Underworld, production companies Screen Gems and Lakeshore planned to release a prequel as the third film following Underworlds sequel, Underworld: Evolution. Kate Beckinsale, who portrayed Selene in Underworld, expressed interest in reprising her role for the sequel and the prequel. In 2006, Beckinsale reprised her role as Selene in the successful vampire sequel Underworld: Evolution, directed by her husband. It was the first time she had "been involved with a movie from the moment it's a germ of an idea right through the whole editing process." Her daughter had a small role as the younger Selene, and took direction well: "I didn't think she would take either of us that seriously. We both envisaged a situation where it would be kind of like trying to get her into a snow suit. She suddenly became highly professional She said, “Could you call me Selene?” I certainly don't insist on being called Selene, so she didn't get that from me." In the actual film, Selene appears briefly at the end. Beckinsale did not film new footage, a scene from Underworld was used to bookend the film. Beckinsale also provided a monologue for the beginning of the film. Beckinsale returned to the role of Selene for the fourth installment of the vampire franchise Underworld: Awakening. She "wasn't intending to do another one" but was convinced by the quality of the script: "You really want to see stakes that mean something in these kind of movies. Otherwise, it really is just lots of explosions and people running around in tight clothes."
История публикаций
Селин появляется в неканоническом романе «Подмирье: Кровавый враг», написанном Грегом Коксом. Селин несет ответственность за смерть отступницы Лейбы, выслеживая её после того, как силы Лейбы нападают на сделку по продаже оружия ликанов и становятся причиной гибели как ликанов, так и другого члена команды Селин. Во время схватки с Лейбой, Лейба мимолетно замечает, что глаза Селин похожи на «её» (Соньи), но Селин так и не узнает значения этого комментария, прежде чем убивает Лейбу. Мотивы Лейбы остаются загадкой для Селин. Селин также появляется в серии комиксов Underworld, издаваемой IDW Publishing. Она изображена с той же характерологией, что и в фильме. Она также фигурирует в серии романов, основанных на фильме «Подмирье: Эволюция». Единственная серия романов по «Подмирье», в которой она не появляется, — это экранизация «Подмирье: Восстание ликанов».
Selene appears in the non canon novel Underworld: Blood Enemy, written by Greg Cox. Selene is responsible for the death of renegade Lycan Leyba, tracking her down after Leyba's forces attack a Lycan weapons deal and are responsible for the deaths of both the Lycans and another member of Selene's team. During the confrontation with Leyba, Leyba briefly reflects that Selene's eyes are like 'hers' (Sonja's), but Selene never learns the meaning of this comment before she kills Leyba. Leyba's goals remain a mystery to Selene. Selene also appears in the IDW Publishing Underworld series. She is portrayed as having the same characterization as seen in the film. She also appears in the sequel novelization series for Underworld: Evolution. The only novelization series of Underworld she hasn't appeared in is the novelization for Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.
Прием
Хотя первый фильм получил в основном негативные отзывы критиков, несколько элементов были отмечены положительно зрителями и рядом рецензентов, включая "ледяное английское хладнокровие" в исполнении Кейт Беккинсейл в роли Селин. На панели Comic Con в Сан-Диего в июле 2005 года были показаны несколько сцен из фильма Underworld: Evolution, однако эти сцены не содержали спойлеров нового сценария, и посетители узнали о новых гибридах только из рассказа дизайнера-постановщика Патрика Татопулоса. Предварительный показ был встречен с восторгом, сотни фанатов ждали часами, чтобы увидеть фрагмент фильма, а также Кейт Беккинсейл и других звёзд фильма. В рецензии на фильм Underworld: Awakening ведущий критик Variety отметил: "Беккинсейл вновь демонстрирует впечатляющую физическую форму и ледяное спокойствие в образе Селин".
Though the first film received generally negative reviews from critics, several elements were praised by audiences and a number of reviewers, including the "icy English composure" in Kate Beckinsale's performance as Selene. A few scenes of Underworld: Evolution were shown in a panel at Comic Con in San Diego, in July 2005; however, these scenes did not contain any plot spoilers of the new script, with attendees only being informed about the new hybrids by production designer Patrick Tatopoulos. The previewing was well received as hundreds of fans waited hours to see a clip of the film as well as Kate Beckinsale and the other stars of the movie. In a review for Underworld: Awakening, a top critic from Variety said "Once again, Beckinsale brings an impressive physicality and subzero cool to her portrayal of Selene".
