DAYBREAKERS trailer

Friday, June 26, 2009

Back in 2006, a pair of scientists published a paper in which they attempted to prove that vampires can't exist. Their argument was that even if vampires only needed to feed once a month, in the process turning each victim into another vampire, in a matter of months everybody on Earth would be a vampire. (Yeah, but... Who says each time a vampire feeds, he has to make his victim into another vampire? That's not how it worked on Buffy!)

Daybreakers is an upcoming thriller based on that idea of a world overrun with vampires, running desperately short of humans to feed on. But while the obvious approach would have been to make the hero one of the last humans trying to save his people from the sinister vampires, Daybreakers comes at things from the opposite angle. In this film the vampires are the main characters, and Ethan Hawke stars as a vamp trying to save all of vampire kind before their human farms run dry. Hard to say how well this will work in the final film, but it's a novel approach and the trailer has some style.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
