Zack Ward Talks about His New Film seed

Recently I got the chance to talk to Director Uwe Boll about his new film "SEED" an original tale of revenge. I want to thank Uwe for taking the time away from filming his next film "Tunnel Rats" to speak with us. Uwe is also donanting 2.5% of the films profits to P.E.T.A.

GVK: The subject matter for this film is very disturbing, yet a sad part of life. What did you learn about the subject matter during your prep work for the film and while filming?

ZW: One of the strangest moments was actually traveling back into the States from Mexico. I stopped and talked to some of the customs officers. I told them about the movie I was working on and they told me some stories. The creepiest is "the pale tourist". They said that when a 40 year old guy comes back from Mexico alone and his passport says he's been gone a month and he's bone white, they can tell he was there for the child sex. Unfortunately, without evidence, they can't do anything, even though it screams at them daily. Sad.

GVK: What can you tell readers about your character?

ZW: I play Alex Green, a southern boy smuggler, shipping the kidnapped children across country from the Rio Grande to New Jersey, keeping them in line with drugs and pain. Alex is the uncaring capitalist scum-bag, a white slaver without a speck of remorse in his soul.

GVK: The film is getting rave reviews. Did you get a chance to spend much time with Kevin Kline and what if anything did you learn from him?

ZW: I learned that Kevin is a painter and that he worries about his scenes just like I do. That in itself was a HUGE process to learn you share with an Oscar winner. Kevin and I have no scenes together but had time to chat on set and discuss the arc and flavor of the film. It's always good to know that one of your heroes puts their pants on the same way you do.

GVK: What do you hope that audiences will take with them after viewing the film, as it is a very powerful film.
