Underworld: Evolution - using Flash Player 8!
The guys at Sony Pictures and Big Spaceship partnered with Macromedia to provide a teaser site for the upcoming sequal to the movie Underworld. This short teaser uses some of the new effects, performance, and video capabilities of the Flash Player 8 and the public beta Player is required to view the site.
Keep your eyes on the site over the next few weeks as they will soon be releasing the first trailer for the movie. The site itself will also continue to evolve and use more and more of the advanced features in Flash Player 8 as the movie gets closer to its official announce.

Nicely done!
*Note - there is currently a bug in Firefox on the Mac platform that causes major performance problems in the public beta of Flash Player 8 so if you are on a Mac, please use Safari to view this site.

it's not only on mac does firefox have performance issues but also on windows. this is rumoured to be because of RAM issues with firefox vs. safari and IE.

this proves that bigshot companies have again a huge advantage on 'regular' people. Already a site out in flashplayer 8 while the soft to develop it isn't even out yet. That's just laughing in the face of other developers...

What advantage? Access to the latest software clearly doesn't stimulate the imagination of the peeps at Sony. A massive company with an insane amount of resources should be ashamed of themselves for being so ordinary.

i seem to be having trouble accessing the site. It says i have installed this flash player beta, but i still can't access the site, and i was always able to before, does anyone know what is wrong?

I loved the first Underworld movie the woman that plays the lead role is hot. I love the flash trailer for the upcoming move it was very well done. I am going to see it when it comes out in theaters for sure.

This movie is sure to be a big hit at the box office. Love the trailer almost as much as the first movie.
