Don't get your hopes up, have you seen house of the dead:rolleyes: Like your sig by the way. Jonathan Davis of Korn said the exact same thing.:)

I'm assuming this is a video game involving vampires, no?

You assume correctly...However, I was referring to the movies (of the same name), at this time...:)


And...Thank You...Killer Clown#1:)

[The Evil Dead]

Sure, I'm definitely excited because this movie is going to be directed by Uwe Boll, the cheesetastic director of House of the Dead. That movie was nothing but pure entertainment, and I expect the same out of Bloodrayne. Those hoping for a serious vampire romp are going to be severely dissapointed... Also, I wouldn't really expect this one to get much of a major theater release in the US. It's POSSIBLE that it may be picked up for distribution, but given the lax money at the boxoffice for House of the Dead, I don't think that gives Uwe and co. much chance of stickin' this one out in theaters.

I've got my money on direct to video...

You know, if you're going to have a thread about an upcoming movie, at least have the decency to post some information so we have an idea about what it is and when we can expect it.

I guess I'll do that.

Here's all the info as it's available, not much is known besides the fact that it's being picked up and worked on.


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."
