Daybreakers

[GreenScar]

Update!

The trailers hit! It's a must see!

Click the beautiful vamp to go check out the trailer.

Daybreakers has its first trailer and it’s incredible. The film exists in a world where almost the entire human population has been turned Vampire. Unlike the scenario presented in I Am Legend, this hasn’t resulted in some sort of global Apocalypse. Instead, everyone seems to be living their lives as always… except only at night and with pointy teeth. There’s a problem of course. Without blood they can’t survive and they’re quickly running out of normal humans whom they can suck dry. Enter Ethan Hawke, a vampire himself, and a researching looking for a cure before the blood runs dry and extinguishes the last spark of the human race.

It’s not just the concept that’s cool, but the look of the film and even the music they’ve used with the trailer. It’s a must see teaser. Watch it in glorious high-res here or see it embedded below.

More vampires? Haven't we seen enough of them with Twilight and True Blood? No, these are the dark, gritty vampires, and one of them in Willem Dafoe (and other is Ethan Hawke). Now I've got you interested! Daybreakers was first announced years ago, and we even featured some first look photos back in January of last year. Now our friends at Ain't It Cool News have finally debuted the first teaser poster. With any luck, this means we'll see a trailer this week. Lionsgate has scheduled this for release in January of next year. This looks a lot like the 30 Days of Night posters with a touch of 28 Days Later. Pretty badass, I'd say. You?

In the year 2019, a plague has transformed most every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher (Ethan Hawke) works with a covert band of vamps (Willem Dafoe, Claudia Karvan) on a way to save humankind.

Daybreakers is written and directed by Australian brothers Michael and Peter Spierig, who previously directed a 2003 sci-fi horror film titled Undead. This was shot in Australia in late 2007 and has been in post-production since. Lionsgate is bringing Daybreakers to theaters on January 8th, 2010 next year.

Would love to see Dafoe in a well made Vampire film. Thoughts?

Hell yeah, looks promising. Dafoe should be pretty cool as a vampire!

[Secretagentnumber6]

Sounds interesting. Dafoe's overall looks lend themselves to vampire anyway. I am interested but also worried as 2 years for post is always a troubling sign, I will likely give it a shot though.

Watch it home alone with all the lights off so you know you are safe

Not if you do a doorlock and shadowy corner check before you get it started

I'm not good at watching scary movies, trust me. I've learned my lesson from 30 Days of Nights.

[Steve]

This looks pretty cool. I'm usually a sucker for vampire and werewolf movies anyway. (No pun intended.)

Same here. I really hate being let down after an awesome trailer.
Really great cast.

[Cisco in HD]

Just saw the trailer, holy crap am I pumped, it looks like a GREAT movie. I hope it's not a let down.

[CYMBOL]

Interesting.

Who sang that Kate Bush song, "Running up that hill", in the trailer?

[OrlandoEastwood]

Thanks. I saw the trailer on the IMDB but it had no sound on it.
