Director Len Wiseman also gave some further details on what to expect from the sequel in an interview leading up to the DVD release of the original:
“This time we can expect more history about the vampires and the werewolves, which we weren’t able to do in the first one. There’s going to be a bit of actual battle in the medieval times between the werewolves and vampires, with like army-clad vampires on horses, kinda like “Braveheart”. It’ll play out a bit like “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” where the first ten to fifteen minutes of the film will be a prequel. We’re going to really dive into the dark ages, and then center some more on the modern day.”
Sounds good to me. I was surprised to find I LOVED the first movie, and couldn’t wait for the sequel. Consider me a little rat happily grabbing at every crumb that comes my way. Unless Willard needs me, of course.
