Pictured above (via VR Shoots) is the first image of leather-clad actress Kate Beckinsale on the set of Sony Screen Gems eagerly anticipated Underworld 4: New Dawn. From the looks of it, she’s about to perform one of Selene’s signature kick ass escapes out a window.

The film’s synopsis reads:

After being held in a coma-like state for fifteen years, vampire Selene learns that she has a fourteen-year-old vampire/Lycan hybrid daughter, Nissa, and when she finds her, they must stop BioCom from creating super Lycans that will kill them all.

Underworld 4: New Dawn is directed by Swedish filmmakers Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein (Shelter). John Hlavin (”The Shield”) is attached as screenwriter. The film arrives in theaters in 2-D and 3-D on Jan. 20, 2012.

Clatto named Kate Beckinsale one of The Ten Hottest Horror/Sci-fi Babes of the Past Decade.
