Directed by: Len Wiseman
Starring: Bill Nighy, Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Derek Jacobi, Tony Curran
The first of the vampires, Marcus, awakens and sets out to free his brother, William, first of the lycans. Selene realizes the reason for her family's death was because her father was the one who built William's prison, with the keys being the locket Michael got from Lucian and the other inside Viktor. Marcus gets the keys and drinks Selene's blood to access her memories of the prison. Selene and Michael finds Alexander Corvinus, the father of Marcus and William, who then does nothing as his vampire son impales him with a wing. He later redeems himself by letting Selene drink his blood, so she would be strong enough to defeat Marcus. In the end, Michael kills the freed William, and Selene kills Marcus. The sun rises and Selene realizes she no longers burns under sunlight since she drank Alexander's blood and is now a hybrid.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the helicopter is outside the castle, the entry team dons their diving gear to enter the water. They put on gas masks with one viewing panel. When the shot changes to a water view the entry team is wearing scuba masks, which have their viewing panel divided in half by a black line. When the team emerges from the water within the castle in the next shot they are back to wearing masks with one window. (01:16:40)
Marcus: I know what you have done, Selene.
Selene: Viktor deserved his fate. And Kraven was no better.
Marcus: Kraven has already reaped the rewards of his own misdeeds. And yes, Viktor deserved his fate, many times over. A terrible business, the slaying of your mortal family. Yet so much effort was spent to conceal this matter from me. What do you suppose Viktor had to hide? Or perhaps it is you Selene, as the last of your wretched family, who has something to hide?
Trivia: The child-actor playing young Selene is actually the daughter of adult Selene's actress Kate Beckinsale.
Question: My friend swears the lead female actress changes at about 10-15 minutes into the film. He says Yancy Butler of Witchblade fame plays the lead at first, and then someone else (I assume it must be Kate Beckinsale) takes over the role. My research to date tells me my friend is nuts. Is he? Is there any explanation related to this? (I think maybe it's due to my friend's pain medication/s - a side effect of some sort.) Thank you for the help. He paid me to research this for him (only two bucks) and so far I've spent over two hours on it. But I did at least learn about these actresses.

Answer: This could be a confusion over characters. If I remember rightly, the film opens with a scene set somewhere around 1200AD, showing the three vampire elders, Markus, Viktor and Amelia, leading a war party. Possibly your friend has mistaken Amelia, played by Hungarian actress Zita Görög, for Selene, who doesn't appear in the film until after this lengthy flashback sequence has finished.
