Kingsley Joins Videogame Adaptation 'BloodRayne'

[Wednesday, August 11th, 2004]
Ben Kingsley will play the vampire Kagan, the evil ruler of an army of bloodsuckers, in an upcoming film adaptation of the videogame BloodRayne, according to AP.

Set in 18th century Romania, the film chronicles the adventures of the title character, a half-vampire, half-human who has the super strength of a monster but the emotions of a person.

Kristanna Loken, the former model who portrayed the Terminatrix in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, will play the heroine, who must overthrow Kingsley's character — who is also her father — in order to save the world from the living dead.

The $47 million movie is set to begin filming in Romania later this month, according to videogame publisher Majesco, which released the game.
