| It is a a very interesting movie because we have a big knight movie basically, but it's also based on BloodRayne, a vampire story. And [we have] kick-ass action scenes [that] you don't see in a knight movie… |
I wouldn't normally make fun of someone's English, but this is Uwe Boll we're talking about. And I suspect he would refer to it as a "Knight movie" even if he was born and raised in America.
Quote:
| I think it was good that a woman wrote BloodRayne because it has that erotic lesbian but violent… It's a little like a bisexual touch that a vampire has basically. |
Yes, I'm sure the deep insight into a woman's psychology will show through in the final film.

| He's playing it like in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a really cool scene with tons of prostitutes in a big crack house. It's a great scene. And we have Michael Pare playing a weapons dealer… We have Udo Kier from Blade and Armeggedon and so this strange guy plays a monk. And we have Geraldine Chaplin, the daughter of Charlie Chaplin, plays the fortune teller. |
Pssht! Fellini already made that movie. Stop remaking the masters and get with the new century!

| It's a very interesting movie and the first Avid output is around three hours. So, it is a long movie but I will make it two hours in the end. It's definitely the longest movie I've done so far. |
I love it. The concept of "editing" is clearly new to him.

| After her, it was by accident that Ben Kingsley basically said yes, because he'd always wanted to play a vampire, so we gave an offer out to his agency and, to be honest, I thought he would refuse it. [He's] Gandhi, [an] Oscar-winning [actor]. He will never ever do it, but he accepted it right away, and he told me on the telephone that he always wanted to play a vampire and this was the opportunity. |
I'm sure it WAS by accident, yes.
He always wanted to play a vampire? Jesus, Sir Ben, I'm sure I could whip off a script in the next couple of hours that would be less of a waste of your time.
Quote:
| Michelle Rodriguez, we came in with the offer at the right time, because she was a little tired of all those action movies she did where she played the tough, the bad-ass tough girl. Here she is still killing people and she's a tough fighter, but she has a very character-driven piece where she thinks about the sense of life and the sense of fighting the vampires makes sense because her father turned into a vampire… |
Finally, she has a shot at that Oscar.
Quote:
| So it was easy to get these name actors for this kind of film, because normally in a movie, the smaller scenes are, let's say a little cheap or shittily written in a way that you have a flat character, but these were all like gala appearances, they were really, really good parts. |
No comment.
Quote:
| BloodRayne, she must kill people from time to time and she needs blood. She's half vampire and half human, so it has something that is really kick-ass that is also bad-ass in a way. Like Kate Beckinsale in Underworld, did you see her really blood-sucking? I don't know why she was a vampire… She looks like Carrie Ann Moss in Matrix. So this is the point, we are totally different. |
No comment.
Quote:
| The whole beginning of the movie, BloodRayne is like a freak in the circus, and people want to rape her, and she's like the attraction of the evening, and everybody in the arena of the circus is drunk and they throw her arms into water so the skin burns and then she must drink the blood of a goat [so] that she recovers… |
Holy angels in heaven above, no comment.
So damn funny. Lots more humour in that interview. I don't know the game, but it sounds like once again he's making a movie that has nothing to do with the source material. And I love how shamelessly he takes shots at all the movies he rips off.
