"This movie came to me because I like vampire movies; I just couldn't remember the last vampire movie that I really liked," offered Gutierrez.

"I love the myth of the vampires which exists in every culture, but for me, the moment that there are fangs or garlic, it becomes really campy and no longer scary," he continued. "So the idea was really to do something sort of film noir-like with a female protagonist and introduce the concept of vampires into that.

Lucy Liu immediately agreed to play the lead character of Sadie. She admitted: "I first read the script at 3:00am in the morning and so I understood the project from that perspective, what it needed and what the character was about. It wasn't strictly horror—it has an incredible emotional undercurrent, that and it had a thriller, noir quality about it."

She continued, "I met Sebastian a couple of days later and we hit it off. It's hard to explain, but sometimes you just connect with things; this script and Sebastian were things that I connected with." Gutierrez stated it was not a film just about revenge, "Rise is a serial killer movie in which our protagonist is the serial killer, and we, the audience, want her to commit the killings.

Actor Michael Chiklis signed on to play her co-star: "He's different than any other cop that I've played; he's perhaps the most damaged—he's lost everything that mattered to him—his daughter—to these monsters. He's really hurting and damaged, and wants to exact revenge on those responsible for his daughter's death." Chiklis admitted: "My character is very much in a vigilante mode in this film.
