The war against the forces of darkness becomes a family affair in this cinematic prequel to the popular video game
Bloodrayne. In 16th century Europe,
Lord Kagan (
Ben Kingsley) is an evil ruler who holds more power than any man alive, but he still dreams of having more, and when he's told of three magic talismans who, when united, will give him intense supernatural strength and the gift of immortality, he will stop at nothing to attain them. However, three warriors who have learned how to battle the forces of darkness --
Vladimir (
Michael Madsen),
Katarin (
Michelle Rodriguez), and
Sebastian (
Matt Davis) -- have formed the Brimstone Society, with the goal of stripping
Kagan of his power and restoring justice to their land. They can't accomplish this on their own, though, so they enlist the aid of
Rayne (
Kristanna Loken), a half-human, half-vampire who can approach
Kagan's sinister gifts while having a desire to do good. However,
Rayne is torn about signing on with the Brimstone Society, and for a good reason --
Kagan is her father. Scripted by actress, screenwriter, and video-game enthusiast
Guinevere Turner,
BloodRayne also stars
Geraldine Chaplin,
Udo Kier,
Billy Zane,
Michael Paré, and
Meat Loaf Aday.
