Loken will begin work on BloodRayne in August 2004 shooting in locations throughout Romania. As the film's lead, Loken will play the title character who is half human and half vampire, driven by vengeance to overthrow her father, Kagan, king of all vampires.
A former model, Kristanna Loken first caught worldwide attention with her role as the villainous T-X in the highly anticipated T3 sequel. Loken has also appeared in the feature films Academy Boyz (2001) and Panic (2001) and just completed Uli Edel's feature film Kingdom in Twilight.
Of Loken's casting, Producer Shawn Williamson said, "I loved Kristanna in T3 and am excited to see how she brings the character of Rayne to life."
BloodRayne marks the sixth collaboration between Shawn Williamson, principal and producer of Vancouver-based film production company Brightlight Pictures and German Director/Producer Uwe Boll. Boll directs the picture that is written by Guinevere Turner (American Psycho).
BloodRayne Director, Uwe Boll, said, "Kristanna Loken is perfect for BloodRayne. She is strong, tall, athletic, sexy – everything that BloodRayne is."
Loken is represented by Eddy Yablans at International Creative Management and managed by Miles Levy.
