Did you know they were making a Blood Rayne movie, due out January 6th? So far it’s got 2 stars of 10 on IMDB:
I need more information, so here’s what Wikipedia says:
BloodRayne, developed by Terminal Reality, is a franchise of two horror-themed third-person action video games (with at least a third on the way), a movie and a series of self-contained comic books. The mainstream appeal of its unique blend of action, horror and sex has allowed it to transcend the video game genre and enter other forms of media, like several other video game franchises such as Resident Evil and Tomb Raider.
