This interview was conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA declaring an official strike.

Casper Van Dien has plenty of experience working with creatures that aren’t really there. In fact, he famously battled thousands of aliens in Starship Troopers. Now in The Flood, he must survive against a few ferocious giant alligators that see him as lunch.

Here is the official synopsis:

After a massive hurricane floods Louisiana, it unleashes a threat even deadlier than the rising water level: a relentless horde of giant hungry alligators. When a group of in-transit prisoners and their security guards seek shelter in a local prison, they become prey for the flesh-eating attackers. To survive, the prisoners and guards must fight together, in this action-thriller packed with slithery and jaw-clenching suspense.

The film also stars Nicky Whelan (Hall Pass, Halloween II) and Louis Mandylor (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Rambo: First Blood). Brandon Slagle directed the movie from the screenplay written by Chad Law and Josh Ridgway.
