On being part of the ‘Deathstalker’ film, Nina relays, “Being part of Steven Kostanski’s imagination in a Roger Corman remake of Deathstalker is pretty epic for any actor! Creating a character like Grendul in that universe is another dream checked off my vision board. I’ve always loved fantasy and creature-driven worlds, and stepping into one like this has been a blast. Plus, getting to play opposite Daniel Bernhard? It doesn’t get much better than that!”
Regarding the new song in the end credits, Nina states, “I’m a creator at heart, so I’m always making something new. After finishing ‘Deathstalker,’ I was so inspired by the world, the characters, and especially Deathstalker himself. He’s this epic figure, hardened by survival, who has shut out human connection—yet deep down, there’s still a spark of his humanity. Playing Grendul, who shares a complicated past with him, made me wonder: What really happened between them?
That question inspired the words and melodies that became “Walking Alone.” After talking with director Steven Kostanski about his vision for a song, I teamed up with my longtime friend and producer Jay Ruston, and we brought in Jonah Nimoy from The Offspring. The creative fire was instant! I even wove in some of Steven’s own lines from the script, since he wrote it, and shaped it into a late-’90s/early-2000s homage—exactly what he requested.
Steven and the team loved it so much that we shot a music video for it, and I cannot wait for people to see it. With Steven’s imagination, I know it’s going to be something truly epic.”
