Boll said that if this sequel can match what the first film did on DVD, then there will definitely be a third movie.

"I like the franchise," said Boll. "The third one will be in the Second World War where the first game was based. We'll likely film it in Eastern Europe to recreate those old German cities during WWII."

Boll may have to make a decision on which actress will reprise the role if a third film comes to fruition. Both Kristanna Loken, the original Rayne, and Natassia Malthe, the new Rayne, are interested in returning to the role. Boll joked that he could do a BloodRayne versus BloodRayne movie.

Next year will be very busy for Boll. In addition to the releases of In the Name of the King and BloodRayne II, Boll's finishing up Postal for a 2007 release. That film, based on the controversial Running with Scissors video game, stars Zack Ward, Dave Foley, Michael Pare, Chris Spencer, Chris Coppola and Boll, as himself. Gamers will start seeing teaser trailers for the film soon, featuring Osama Bin Laden. Boll will also release an original horror film, Seed, starring Michael Pare, next year.

On the production side, Boll expects to film Far Cry in Hawaii beginning in May 2007. That film will have a $30 million to $40 million budget and will feature a Hollywood star, possibly Jason Statham, who's waiting to see how the Dungeon Siege movie distribution is handled. Boll said he will definitely go after a known actor for this role, since he sees the film as a franchise and considers it the biggest game he has the rights to.

Although he optioned the film rights from developer CryTek, Boll said Ubisoft is very interested in working with him on the new film. He said the game publisher is eager to keep their franchise alive.

"Every other game I did so far, the game makers were happy I did a movie to support their franchise," said Boll. "With Far Cry, Ubisoft wants me to make a good movie because this is already a big franchise for them and they want to keep it going. I think they will be more involved in the whole process than the other companies before. We always want to make a good movie. In the past, the game companies never co-promoted the movie or even had a new game come out with the movie."

Boll believes that working with a big game publisher like Ubisoft will be a win-win for the film and game franchise. He said there are many ways to work with gaming press and the gaming audience to cross-promote the film and games. The Far Cry movie is expected out in 2008, which gives Ubisoft plenty of time to coordinate a new game release.

Boll has another original film based on the tunnel rats of the Vietnam War, which he will likely shoot back-to-back in Hawaii. He said the jungle and exterior scenes of both films will be shot on location in Hawaii and then the interior scenes will be filmed in either Vancouver or Eastern Europe.

Because he'll be busy with these projects, Boll said he'll pass the Alone in the Dark II movie on to writers Michael Roesch and Peter Scheerer (Far Cry, Alone in the Dark) to direct. Boll will produce the sequel, which he said will be set in New York City and based on the new game from Atari and Eden Studios. The sequel will likely have a budget of $7 million, about half of the $15 million the original had. Boll's contacted Christian Slater about reprising the role of Edward Carnby, but the actor hasn't decided yet.

"If he accepts that, he's the first choice to play him as Edward Carnby again," said Boll. "If he doesn't, I think we should go for someone who looks like Edward Carnby. In the new game, he looks more modern. Alone in the Dark is one of the games where the character face changed several times. He was more British-looking in the first one with glasses and in the fourth game he was more of a tough-looking paranormal investigator."

Boll's original film was tied into the last Alone in the Dark game, which Atari canceled and started over from scratch. As a result, the movie opened with no game tie-in. This time around, Atari has a big budget relaunch of the franchise for next generation consoles, which should only help the movie franchise.
