Paul W.S. Anderson and his long-time producing partner Jeremy Bolt - who are no strangers to video game based films (the "Resident Evil" series) or fighting games in particular (Mortal Kombat) - are returning to the genre again, this time bringing the popular fighter series DOA: Dead or Alive to theaters. Bolt talked briefly about the film - featuring Devon Aoki, Sarah Carter, Natassia Malthe, Matthew Marsden, Jamie Pressly, Eric Roberts and Holly Valance - which opens this August.
"What's great about 'DOA' is the fantastic fighting opportunities, but also the sexiness with the volleyball, with the island. It has some phenomenal fight sequences," Bolt told ComingSoon.net.
"We worked with Corey Yuen, who did the 'Transporter' movies, and we went to China. I was in China for 8 months last year making it with all the stunt people, and it [has] fantastic fight sequences, but also it's sexy. We put volleyball in the movie. There's a 3 minute volleyball sequence."
"We're ecstatic that Jaime [Pressly] has a hit show, as is Dimension," added Bolt. "She's now a household name, which is fantastic for us. She's also a brilliant martial artist, great volleyball player. She's phenomenally fit and she looks damn fine in a bikini."
Despite the much touted sex appeal, the producer is adamant that the movie is aimed at a specific teenage audience and - unlike the "Resident Evil" films - should open to anyone. Anyone over 13 anyway. "It's very PG-13 in the sense that it's obviously not a horror film. Any 13-year-old boy is going to... it's going to traumatize a whole generation. It's very different [from "Resident Evil"], it's more action adventure. It's a lot of fun."
Bolt is so enthusiastic about DOA: Dead or Alive that he reveals he and Anderson already have plans for it's future. "We're already thinking about sequels."
