THREE QUESTIONS FOR KEVIN LEE
Did you have a relationship with the World of Darkness before setting out on your journey with this film?
No. Nothing. It was a process of self discovery for me as I worked through the story and material with the White Wolf Publishing people – Shane, Dhaunae, Martin and Tobias.
What has been your greatest surprise during the work so far?
The depth and scope of the World of Darkness and the dedication of the fans. Plus the influences it had on other genres after it’s success, like Marvel, Vampire Diaries, True Blood…to name a few.
What would you like WoD fans to take with them from the movie?
I think this movie is primarily for the fans and I want them to feel both proud about “their universe”, and honoured that someone has taken their story seriously and attempted to tell it to the world. I want this to be a collector’s item for the fans and that they feel they need to own it, like you would of a band every time they release a new record.
