Blood Rayne 2005
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.
Dead Or Alive Adaptation
Just when you thought you’d seen the last one, Corey Yuen jumped on the bandwagon to produce another adaption: Dead or Alive. To be released in the fall of 2006 to North American theatres, DoA follows a growing trend of videogame-to-film adaptations to be released next year, including Mortal Kombat: Devastation , starring Robin Shou as Liu Kang (who also stars in the Dead or Alive adaptation as a “Pirate Leader”), and Tekken (which will star Jet Li). Next year is the definately going to be a good year for fans of martial-arts.
Tekken Adaptation Casts Jet Li
According to Joystiq, martial-arts prodigy Jet Li has been cast as “the boxer” in the video-game-to-film adaptation of Tekken. Charles Stone, director of Drumline & Mr 3000, is set to direct the movie, which “also features Vicky Zhao (as Ling Xiaoyu), a rising Chinese star”. With a great cast and an enormous fan-base, there’s a decent chance this film will be more successful than either the Doom or Dungeon Siege video-game adaptations.
Clock Tower Game-To-Film Adaptation
Todd Farrmer, writer of Jason X, is to adapt Capcom videogame “Clock Tower 3″ to movie. This adaptation is one of the first that Mayhem Project, a production company launched in June, will undertake. The film’s budget is estimated to be between $10 million and $30 million, and will initiate production in 2006. The plot of Clock Tower 3 centers around a girl named Alyssa who returns home on her 15th birthday to discover herself in an awful predicament. Although the game recieved mixed reviews, almost all the critics recognized that the game had a superb story.
Uwe Boll To Direct Dungeon Siege Adaptation
It’s official. Uwe Boll is directing a two-part adaption of the popular video-game Dungeon Siege. “In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale” is said to be a roughly 4 1/2 hour epic. Uwe Boll, to pander to “the exhibitors who can’t accept a movie so long,” has decided to cleave the entire ordeal into two parts. Part One is to be released November 3rd of 2006, with the denouement hitting theaters on December 1st.
The film’s diverse cast includes Ray Liotta, Leelee Sobieski, Burt Reynolds, Ron Perlman, Claire Forlani, Matthew Lillard, John Rhys-Davies, Kristanna Loken, Will Sanderson, Brian J. White, and German supermodel Eva Padberg.
Will Uwe Boll butcher another film, or do you expect this to be a hit? What are your predictions?
