Underworld: Awakening

Set 12 years in the future, we open to Selene being awaken from a frozen prison in some sort of high tech lab. She escapes (of course) and finds that she has some strange connection with another escaped prisoner. Her daughter (she didn't know she had). Right at the last minute, before departing the lab she sees yet another frozen specimen and triggers that persons escape. The hint is that it might be Michael. Turns out that Selene's daughter has special blood like Michael and is therefore in high demand. In addition, humans now know about vampires and Lycans, so add the humans-want-to-kill-us storyline. This seems a little bit like a reboot - using the bare structure of the Underworld world.
