What was the deal with Lucian? Why was he alive so many years?

Rating: Null/10 (23 September 2003)

I guess it confused me because it seems to me that vampires can live forever, but werewolves. Hummm... I really enjoyed about 90 percent of this movie but wow I wish it had been a different, less conveluted storyline. I see sequel written all over it but where will they go, and why?
