The movie was shot exclusively in high definition using Panasonic 720P cameras in 24-frame-per-second mode with computer-generated special effects, pyrotechnics, stunts and a budget that reportedly would rival many mainstream indie features, according to Jeff Mullen of All Media Play, the company charged with promoting “Dark Angels 2: Bloodline.”
“This movie is going to be huge,” Mullen told XBiz.
“What I witnessed over a two-week shooting schedule looked more like a huge Hollywood mainstream movie that any porno I could remember,” Mullen added.
Nic Andrews was once again at the helm, directing a troop special effects people, stunt coordinators, car drivers, extras and performers in the vampire epic.
“This is great, being able to do such a physically spectacular movie,” Andrews said. “We’re going to scare the shit out of people with this one.
Dillon Day also was a holdover from the original, reprising his role as detective/vampire slayer Jack Cross.
Sunny Lane played the female lead, Jesse, and said the experience was beyond anything she has experience since entering the industry.
“I’ve never done anything this amazing before,” she said, “and each day I’m pushed to the limit — but it’s so exciting to be a part of this huge movie.”
At the time of its release in 1999, “Dark Angels” was New Sensations’ biggest-budget movie to date. President Scott Taylor said that the financial gamble had paid off so well for the company that he didn’t hesitate spending more than twice as much on the followup.
While Mullen would not reveal details, he promised a media blitz worthy of the ambitious production. “We’re gearing up for a massive push over the next few weeks,” he said.
“Dark Angles 2: Bloodline” also stars Monica Mayhem, Karina Kay, Destiny DeVille, August and Kirsten Price with Barrett Blade, Tommy Gunn, Evan Stone and special guest star Ron Jeremy.
