BloodRayne the movie, the big-screen adaptation of the popular Majesco video game with the same name, has all the good stuff including a great cast and director. With a smashing $50 million budget, a sexy heroine you could die for, Oscar winner Sir Ben Kingsley, Michelle Rodriguez and Michael Madsen etc. in the cast, this movie is likely to be one of next year's big blockbusters.

Kristanna Loken will play Bloodrayne, a half-human, half-vampire trained by the government to hunt down supernatural threats around the globe. Sir Ben Kingsley will play Kagan, King of the Vampires, Bloodrayne's father, receiving avenge being responsible for her mother's rape and murder...

I have been given the privilege of preparing a small list of questions interviewing our favourite movie star "Bloodrayne" and her "puppeteer" Director Uwe Boll, dedicated all the fans out there :-)

Kristanna.com: Video games to film are a new and ground breaking trend growing more popular every day. You are not so unfamiliar with this having two others on your record: House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark. How big will this market be in ten years from now?

Uwe Boll: This market will grow. Per year 3 or 4 videogame movies will happen.

Kristanna.com: How great was it to get both Kristanna Loken and Sir Ben Kingsley to sign on?

Uwe Boll: I was so happy to get this two great actors and even more.

Kristanna.com: If you are making a sequel in two years, how important will Kristanna Loken be for that production, being the title character of this one?

Uwe Boll: She will be very important and she is allready committed to do a sequel.

Kristanna.com: In October BloodRayne 2, the second game in the BloodRayne series will hit the shelves. But naturally, unlike Kristanna's other games based on 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" including the just released 'Terminator 3: The Redemption", the title character of the BloodRayne games do not yet have Kristanna's likeness. Is it likely that this will change in the future?

Uwe Boll: Absolutly. Kristanna should be the face of BLOODRAYNE 3.

Kristanna.com: The video game heroin is well known for certain advantages, also being showed off in the October issue of Playboy. Clearly the movie goers will have expectations, hoping for a glimpse, knowing she arrived naked in 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines". How will these expectations affect the final outcome of the movie?

Uwe Boll: We have a hot sex scene.

Dear Kristanna, I have prepared a few questions for you too, here we go:-)

Kristanna.com: BloodRayne is your second movie after 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines", including the soon to be released 'Kingdom in Twilight". Please tell me with your own words, what is your new movie all about?

Kristanna Loken: the movie is about a woman who is half human and half vampire. She comes to terms with accepting the vampire half of herself, and is fueled by her human passion and heart. It is an inward journey that is manifested in her outward rage.

Kristanna.com: BloodRayne has a great cast, including "Ghandi" Oscar-winner Sir Ben Kingsley that will play Kagan, King of the Vampires, Bloodrayne's father. How exited are you to have such an experienced and talented actor to co-star with you in this movie?

Kristanna Loken: I learned a lot working with Sir Ben and shared a lot of laughs.

Kristanna.com: In comparison to 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines", of whom you where 'hand" picked between 10.000 other auditioning 'female terminators", and had to audition again and again, how was the auditioning process for BloodRayne?

Kristanna Loken: They came to me and asked if I were interested in this project. I have always wanted to do a vampire movie.

Kristanna.com: The video game heroin will appear in the October issue of Playboy with a number of other virtual characters. Of course, the computer-generated beauty of the BloodRayne video games does not have your likeness. If it had, would you allow it? And would your ever pose nude in Playboy your self?

Kristanna Loken: I'll never say never.

Kristanna.com: BloodRayne is Uwe Boll's third video game-to-film effort. How important will his experience be for the successful outcome of this movie? How is he to work with?

Kristanna Loken: Uwe has a wonderful light fun energy and I think he has a very creative vision.

Kristanna.com: Here's an off topic question: You are now seen in a music video for a love song called 'Come To Me", how did this happen?

Kristanna Loken: My father wrote the song. My very good friend directed it and her boyfriend composed the melody. It was a collaborative effort of friends and family.

Kristanna.com would like to thank them both taking a break from their busy schedule shoting 14 hours each day!
