So how close was Underworld to White Wolf's setting?

[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 1139073, member: 8704"] Those do have a certain interpretation attached to them, for example the story did imply for most of it that werewolves and vampires were natural enemies [spoiler](being a rebelling slave race doesn't change that really, it just shows that at one time one race ruled the other)[/spoiler]. Both groups were decendents of aristocracy and all the vampire leaders shown looked and acted like aristocracy. As far as the embrace bit well they didn't use the term but it was the same thing (of course it's always been the same thing with vampires). Another thing to remember is that the suit is based on the script not watching the movie, things in the script could of been cut out in editing or terms could of been used in the script to describe things that were not actually said in the movie. I really don't know exactly how much difference that would make as I do not have access to the script but it will make a difference. On the abomination thing, It's not because they used the term abomination, it's because they had a werewolf bitten by a vampire who became a creature with the powers of both that was called a abomination that was the issue. That is something that has been a part of the World of Darkness setting for a long time, not to mention that may be one of the few actually original World of Darkness bits here. I could be wrong about that but I had never heard of a vampire/werewolf in the same person before that. Do you think the people who made the movie came up with a hybrid vampire/werewolf similar to the one in the World of Darkness setting and named it exactly the same thing as White Wolf, on their own? I don't think there is any way that this movie will be mistaken for a White Wolf movie and the world is very different but I really doubt they would of engaged in what will probably be a long and expensive suit against Sony unless they had enough evidence to actually have a shot at winning the case (once again it falls back on how similar the short stroy is I guess). Oh yea, does anybody know where you can find this short story? I have been looking for a couple of days and I can't find it (does anybody even know what book it is in?). Is it out of print? Edit: It was Wayne the Brain (I think it was Seth Macfarlane from "The Family Guy" who did the voice) ;) [/QUOTE]
