Packs of vampires are attacking the city, and it's up to Steven Seagal and a group of kids to end the slaughter before it spreads too far.

Seagal plays Commander Tao — no, I did not make that up — a master swordsman whose job it is to wave around objects and make blanketed statements, and I'm assuming, say, philosophical things as well with that name. As a fan of the man, I must say Seagal is brandishing a lot of weaponry in this, perhaps due to his inability to do anything agile anymore?

We'll have to wait to find out, as Against The Dark isn't released until 10 February 2009.

In a recent interview, Seagal told MTV News that he’s looking to do a third Under Siege film, and he’d like to add genre elements to keep up with the trends:

I personally want it to be something more modern. In other words, I wouldn’t mind if it was about something more mystical or maybe extraterrestrial in nature. Some real government top secrets instead of just the typical.

Real government secrets? Is there something that Seagal knows that we don’t beyond mere Roswell cover-ups and covert super-soldier programs?
