Photo

In the photo at the head of the article, Beckinsale isn't wearing the blue contact lenses. This erratum pops up a couple of times in the movie, too, but couldn't we find something better for this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.80.40 (talk) 20:38, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Selene, like all vampires in the Underworld movies, is able to change her eye color at will. The vampires only get the bright blue or yellow eyes when they "vamp out". Selene is not excited or emotional in that picture, so there is no reason for her eyes to be blue, nor is this an error. AlessaGillespie (talk) 07:26, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Luke Corvin?

On this and also on Michael Corvin's page it is mentioned that they have a son called Luke, however this is not mentioned in either of the movies. Perhaps the origin of this son should be listed as I have not been able to find any other information on him.

Original research

This article needs to be rewritten objectively and sourced. If I cut out everything that is OR or in an in-universe style, we would have less than a paragraph. Slavlin 21:42, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

seline's age?

sorry if this topic has been discussed before, but there is a difference in seline's age between the two movies.

in the first movie and novelization (it is made more obvious in the novelization), seline is only ~100 years old; she was turned during viktor's previous reign (which ended 100 years before the events of the movies). there is a scene in the novelization (and also presumably a cut scene on the special edition dvd) where seline speaks with viktor before he is interred in his tomb at the end of his reign which makes rather clear that, as far as immortals in this universe go, she's very young. she also does not know what to do without viktor there to guide her. in the movie, there is a picture on her desk in her room; in the novelization, it is referred to as a photograph of her family, meaning that she was likely turned in the latter half of the 19th century.

in the novel 'blood enemy,' while her age is not stated directly, it is implied that she is multiple centuries old.

the current page uses the timeline given in the second movie, that seline is 600 years old (even though that would imply that seline was turned during amelia's reign).

the discontinuity within the series is confusing, so i understand if all previous timelines have been thrown out in favor of the one in 'underworld: evolution'. but if not, can there be some mention of these other sources as i have briefly outlined above? 65.54.154.144 05:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"In 1202, Viktor led a successful campaign against William. He promised Markus that he would not harm William, despite the powerful werewolf's uncontrollable nature. Viktor and Amelia, his most trustworthy political consort, ultimately managed to locate William in the ruins of a Hungarian settlement, where he had infected the villagers during one of his countryside attacks." Viktor_(Underworld Presuming William was imprisoned at the same time, and that Selene was alive during its construction, that puts her age at ~800 years?--Topperfalkon (talk) 20:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anything supporting that she became true immortal but not human in the end? Cause I thought the sunlight no longer harm her because she killed the original vampire Marcus. According to what Tanis said, Viktor kept William alive because if he was killed, all lycans will become human again. So by the same theory, if Marcus is killed, all vampires will become human again. That would mean by the end of the second movie, both Selene and Michale is human.

She still has vampire teeth. She's immortal due to Alexander's blood- a super vampire, so to speak. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlessaGillespie (talk • contribs) 07:44, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was a lie that Marcus told because he did not trust Viktor. He needed Viktors army to control the pureblood lycans turned by William, but by stating that killing William would destroy his lycan slaves, he agreed not to have him killed. Tanis reveals this as a "clever deception" in his interrogation to Selene. Unak78 (talk) 05:42, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Kate beckinsale.jpg

Image:Kate beckinsale.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

True Immortal?

The term true immortal wasn't used in any of the movies. Are we sure that Selene is now the same type of being as Alexander Corvinus was and not simply a strong vampire who is immune to sunlight? 203.219.179.105 (talk) 02:02, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Eve

I'm going to delete any references to Eve being Selene's daughter, because there's simply no evidence of this. In the original plot synopsis, it said Selene had a daughter named Nissa. However, Sony had that synopsis retracted, and no evidence has ever been released showing Eve is supposed to be Nissa. Until it's officially stated, the idea is just idle speculation. 166.216.226.83 (talk) 19:04, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

X-men Reference

I'm sorry but this doesn't belong. She has no likeness to the X-men character in any way.

X-men selene: 17,000 years old psychic vampire numerous supernatural abilities: (telepathy, telekinesis, fire manipulation, mind control, the ability to slip into other dimensions). Her human story bears no similarity to that of the Movie. I have to think this was only placed in for advertisement purposes. "Oh yeah, tie that in to X-men somehow to drum up sales." How are Selene's motives even remotely similar?

How is the death dealer in the movie, a combat underling, ANYTHING like the ancient master of sorcery that X-men portrays.

This is just absolutely the most over the top grab at pr I've ever seen.

If the creators said they got the idea from X-Men, then that's where the idea comes from. Unless you were there with them when they started writing her character, you can't say for sure what their thoughts were. AlessaGillespie (talk) 03:39, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know I'm responding to 7-year-old comments but...If the Selene form UnderWorld was fully based on her [[|Selene Gallio|x-men counterpart]] Then Sony (Screen Gems) would own the film rights to X-men films not 20th Century Fox (prior to Disney buying 20th Century Fox) and prior to the Fox buyout by Disney we would be constantly hearing about how Marvel Studios would need to get the rights back for Selena, Spider-Man, other X-Men, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, etc. Since that's not the case Selena has not been mentioned as one of those characters Marvel needs to get back from Sony like Ghost Rider or Spiderman so one got to wonder instead did Sony violate Marvel's copyright and 20th Century Fox's film rights to X-men Selene Gallio? I don't know I haven't compared the X-men character enough with the Underworld character. Matter of fact Selene Gallio made her film debut in one of the final Fox-Men films Dark Phoenix (film) it would make for an interesting comparison of what Selene Gallio looks like in that film compared to her Underworld counterpart. No matter what would come out of that comparison one thing is for sure that the X-men character is so obscure that nobody seems to be bothered by this fact that Underworld character might be directly copied from the X-men character.DoctorHver (talk) 02:32, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
