New DAYBREAKERS trailer
Am I overdosing on awards coverage after only two days? Man. I guess it’s time for a genre movie trailer to bring me back down to Earth. Of course, it is a genre movie with Ethan Hawke. And it’s more of a genre-blending movie, Vamps and sci-fi.
Okay, I’m through rationalizing my reasons for this post. Please proceed calmly to the synopsis, courtesy of Lionsgate:
The year is 2019. A mysterious plague has swept over the earth, transforming the majority of the world’s population into vampires. Humans are now an endangered, second-class species – forced into hiding as they are hunted and farmed for vampire consumption to the brink of extinction.
It’s all up to Edward Dalton, a vampire researcher who refuses to feed on human blood, to perfect a blood substitute that might sustain vampires and spare the few remaining humans. But time and hope are running out – until Ed meets Audrey, a human survivor who leads him to a startling medical breakthrough. Armed with knowledge that both humans and vampires will kill for, Ed must battle his own kind in a deadly struggle that will decide the fate of the human race.
Daybreakers, starring Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe, directed by the Spierig Brothers, hits theaters January 8, 2010.
This should be pretty good. It’s an amazing idea for a vampire movie. Thanks to those Twilight movies I’ve grown bored of the genre but now, finally, I’m excited at the prospect of a Vampire movie again…
