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.
Meaning of the quote
This quote is about the director Uwe Boll's thought process when creating the character BloodRayne. He didn't want to focus the story directly on the Nazi era, but rather on how the character of BloodRayne came to be. Boll found it more interesting to explore the origins and development of this character rather than just setting the story in a specific historical time period.
About Uwe Boll
Uwe Boll is a German filmmaker who gained notoriety in the 2000s for his critically panned adaptations of video game franchises.

After a brief retirement, he returned to filmmaking in 2022, with his productions financed through his own production companies.

Take the hardcore gamers. The characters are way more real in the world of hardcore gamers who have played the game for hundreds of hours. They have the movie in their heads, they’ve built it on their own. These guys are always very disappointed in the movies.
