A vampire named WHAT NOW?! (LOL FOREVER)
Got this from a friend of mine who receives the media statements from DPC/Anna Bligh & co.
QUEENSLAND THRILLER TO PREMIERE IN AUSTRALIA
The creativity of Queensland's film industry will be showcased with the highly-anticipated Australian premiere of Queensland film Daybreakers on 4 February, Premier and Minister for the Arts Anna Bligh said.
"Written and directed by Brisbane brothers Michael and Peter Spierig, filmed in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast in 2007, and produced by Queenslanders Chris Brown and Todd Fellman, Daybreakers is an example of Queensland's outstanding creative capabilities in the screen industry," Ms Bligh said.
Here is a bit of a write up about what the movie is about ..... so if you don't want to know - delete now :-)
It's the year 2019, and ten years ago our world as we know had slowly transformed all humans into vampires no thanks to a mysterious bat bite which started it all, with the entire premise told through a graphical opening credits full of little nuggets of informative back story all over the place. Humans either get turned into vampires so that they can achieve immortality at a price of not being able to bask out in the sun anymore, or get turned into a limited blood supply kept alive by plasma harnessing machines, in a factory managed by an evil industrialist XXX (Sam Neill). All's fine and dandy, but without a steady stream of juicy humans, the vampires themselves face extinction from a badly managed food supply chain, and a mutation stemmed from malnutrition which will turn them into mindless bat-monsters to show off what the special effects and makeup crew can do for a film like this.
So the vampires commission Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) to come up with artificial plasma substitutes that can ensure continued vampire lifestyles (of buzzing nightlife) except that Edward has that soft spot for humankind given that he was turned into a vampire much against his wishes. His desire to help humans comes for real when he chances upon a rare group of escaping human refugees, with whom he bands together in a search for a cure to vampirism.
Okay, okay, I can't resist. A vampire named Edward?! REALLY?!?! Who do they think they're fooling? LOLOLOLOL
Yes, granted, they filmed it in 2007 but STILL. You just know everyone's going to be all "OMGTWILIGHTRIPOFF!!!!1!!!one!!"
