Quote

A movie like House of the Dead with around $7 million budget or Alone in the Dark with around $16 million budget are much easier to make profit than the typical $50 million major motion picture.

I want to be like, Look at Postal like Quentin Tarantino did it. Brainwash yourself and convince yourself that Tarantino did it. Forget my name and enjoy the 100 minutes and then write your review.

So if you want to have a great video game-based movie you have to keep the mood of the game, use the normal character setup - but you have to flesh out the story and provide more background for the characters.

In the Seventies, a lot of executions via electric chair failed because of technical problems. Seed tells the true story of someone who survived and sought revenge. They buried him alive to make it seem he was dead.

We thought about it, what we want to tell, and I didn't want to move it directly into the Nazi times. I thought it's much more interesting to see how BloodRayne became BloodRayne.

I think the Matrix effect is over-used and I don't do it anymore.

Homer is the nice side of Al Bundy with the same intellect. I really like him and Al Bundy.

I think Alone in the Dark was too much an action creature movie than a horror creature movie.

Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the government.

There are a lot of idiots on the Internet getting a lot of attention.

So if I get these actors for 30% of their price by coming in so late with an offer when they know they are not getting another offer then I do it this way.

I produce for a low price and I sell it on my own to 80 countries.

House of the Dead 2 I gave away. Alone in the Dark 2 I will also not do even if the DVD movie made money. BloodRayne 2 in the Wild West is what I really want to do.

I think without the harsh critics, I would maybe have not made progress. From BloodRayne on, I spent more time and money on the development.

Any asshole can make a good movie for $100 million. I think it's way harder to make a movie with no money, and to start with no contacts and work your way up to international productions.

House was the first film where I had no influence on the script. I had to buy the script with the game rights.

The Postal is a ruthless, Mad TV-type thing. We sent out a DVD to the South Park producers, and they liked the movie so much that we can say now, It's like South Park with real actors on the trailers and posters.

Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.

I like the direct contact. I want a lot of people that only know me through the mass media to learn more about what I'm doing, and to know that I'm an independent filmmaker and I'm not part of the Hollywood system. I'm coming from where they started. I'm not coming from a family with a lot of money.

I think video games are a great kind of entertainment. They have replaced a lot of games people normally play with their friends and neighbours, like Monopoly.

Slater's a big star and he's been in the business a long time. He's always in a good mood and easygoing but he takes his character very seriously.
