“BLOODRAYNE 2”
NATASSIA MALTHE TO STAR; UWE BOLL DIRECTS
VANCOUVER, November 6, 2006 -- BloodRayne 2 is the sequel to BloodRayne, starring Kristanna Loken, Ben Kingsley, Matt Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Madsen, Billy Zane and Meatloaf, which was also a Brightlight Pictures/Uwe Boll collaboration, directed by Boll. Released on DVD earlier this year through Visual Entertainment, BloodRayne marked the first time a theatrical release was packaged with the complete original PC game which inspired it.
In BloodRayne 2 the movie, as in the game, only Rayne, born of the unnatural union of vampire and human, stands between an unsuspecting humanity and a horrifying vampire dawn. The screenplay is written by Christopher Donaldson and Neil Every.
In addition to the BloodRayne franchise, Brightlight Pictures and Uwe Boll have partnered on a number of features, directed by Boll, including House of the Dead, the box-office success released by Artisan Pictures; Alone in the Dark, starring Christian Slater; and the upcoming Postal, Seed and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, starring Jason Statham, John Rhys-Davies, Ray Liotta, Leelee Sobieski and Burt Reynolds.
“BloodRayne 2 marries the vampire, action and Wild West genres, and we are very excited that this movie is going to innovate a fantastic new look,” says Shawn Williamson.
“I’m excited to do a sequel to BloodRayne and this time in the Wild West. I’m a big fan of Sergio Leone and John Ford,” says Uwe Boll.
