Trailer: Daybreakers

This is one that has been on the radar for a while and has such acting names as Sam Neill, Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe involved. Everlost over at Vampire News picked up on the trailer.

Set in the near future where a plague has turned most of the population into vampires, the main resource is running out – humanity and the blood we produce. To a degree it sounds almost like where I am Legend might have left off after society had been rebuilt (and if there had been more than one survivor) and by the look of the trailer it seems to be what Ultraviolet failed to be.

Originally slated for a September 2009 release, some websites are suggesting this has fallen back to Jan 2010, but the trailer has piqued my interest and I actually think I might let myself get a little excited about this one.

Now... that f*****g rocks! The trailer is better than the entire of 30DoN imho. Bit of Gattacca about it, a touch of Aliens/Resurrection... nicely retro'd feel about it... cannot wait.

CrabStiX - cheers for that

One always expects from Mr Dafoe, Ethan Hawke looks like he's giving a good one and Sam Neill is having one of his very good moments it seems. I too am looking forward

Strikes me the plot looks a little like the matrix with machines swapped for vamps. certainly looks good... no sign of sparklies anywhere!

Certainly the farms have a look that brings The Matrix to mind. Sparkles are unlikely...

Says in small squeky voice: Can I rain to the parade and say that seems garbage?

Christine, no squeaky voice needed – its each to their own and if it doesn’t look your type of thing then you’re not going to get inspired by it…

That said, continuing my gushing praise of a trailer (!) I haven't mentioned that I really liked the use of Placebo’s cover of Running up that Hill.
