MAJESCO'S 'BLOODRAYNE' GOES HOLLYWOOD AS BOLL KG ACQUIRES FILM RIGHTS TO POPULAR VIDEO GAME FRANCHISE

$30 Million Budget to Back Hollywood's New Femme Fatale

September 04, 2003 - Continuing its strategy of developing cornerstone franchise properties with widespread commercial appeal, Majesco, one of the fastest-growing publishers of interactive entertainment software, today announced a deal that will take their popular action/horror video game, BloodRayne to the silver screen. Vierte Boll Kino Beteiligungs-GmbH & Co. KG (Boll KG), the production company responsible for several film adaptations of video games including Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead, has purchased the theatrical film and merchandise rights for the game.

Executive producer and director Dr. Uwe Boll, expects to begin filming BloodRayne sometime in 2004 and estimates a budget in the $30 million range. Shawn Williamson (White Noise, Alone in the Dark) of Brightlight Pictures is set to produce.

"BloodRayne is one of the select interactive entertainment franchises that transcends the video game genre and appeals to mainstream entertainment audiences," said Jesse Sutton, President of Majesco. "With its unique blend of action, horror, and sex appeal, BloodRayne contains major crossover potential and we are continuing to explore additional licensing opportunities."

"We think BloodRayne is a dynamic, compelling anti-hero and a contemporary, smart standard bearer for the genre" says Boll from the set of Alone in the Dark, currently wrapping production with Brightlight Pictures in Vancouver with Christian Slater, Tara Reid and Stephen Dorff. "We look forward to bringing her-and the game--to life on film."

Williamson adds, "I'm looking forward to continuing my collaboration with Uwe, and to continuing to build Brighlight's reputation in producing terrific entertainment with these films."

i would also say that Blade is an exception

The best exception: Versus

thanx bloodrayne i cant wait

Any time someone mentions a new video game adaption from the makers of house of the dead I reach for the cricket bat which leans in an easily acessable location by my desk.

I really didn't like the game. I thought it was very repetitive and cheap feeling. When I got the Bullet Time vision thingy I never used it because I could do better with out it.

i thought it kicked ass but thats just me

I don't think I'll ever go see one of their video game based 'horror' movies again. House of the Dead was without question the biggest piece of shit that came out last year. Every time a clip from the video game flashed on screen, I wanted to go request a refund.

As for current horror that isn't so much 'action', I would have to say there isn't a whole lot out there. I liked the Jeepers Creepers movies and Wrong Turn was pretty good, but other than that (and the already mentioned Dawn Remake and FvJ) I'm having a tough time thinking of many.
