‘Slayers’ Actor Thomas Jane Explains His Harrowing First Time Seeing This Sci-Fi Classic
Thomas Jane is no stranger to horror and sci-fi. From his devastating role in The Mist to his performance as a neo-noir space detective in The Expanse, Jane knows how to get us to invest in his characters. Plus, he was the original Punisher. Horror is in his veins. Jane is back to the genre in the new vampire film Slayers where he plays a gruff and rage-filled vampire hunter.
Read the full synopsis:
Kick-ass vampire slayer, Elliot Jones (Thomas Jane), made it his life’s mission to take revenge on the bloodsuckers who murdered his teenage daughter. After years of tracking them, he has finally reached their secret and hidden base. But to get to them he will need to use a motley crew of social media superstars. Enter ‘The Stream Team’: party-girl Jules (Abigail Breslin), gen-z pro-gamer Flynn (Kara Hayward), and their team of trend-makers and breakers! With a hundred million-plus combined followers, they have attracted the attention of reclusive billionaire Beverly Rektor (Malin Akerman), who invites them to party at her multimillion-dollar vacation compound.
They soon discover these rich people are none other than the ancient vampires that Elliot Jones is chasing. When the team is being held captive in a house of horrors to serve the vampires’ plan to take over the world, Elliott is their only hope of survival. As he links up with Flynn, a slayer in her own right, will he take down the vampire hoard and save The Stream Team?
We spoke with Jane about Slayers, the power of horror, and his first time seeing Alien.
