The Spierig Brothers managed to turn out a wildly entertaining zombie movie in the form of Undead several years back. They spent practically nothing on it and took their sweet time and from what I’ve been reading about Daybreakers, they took a similar approach. This trailer represents a huge step up for these guys. An impressive looking vampire movie that doubles as a metaphor for irresponsible resource consumption with what looks like a serious Children of Men vibe. As far as the plot goes, a disease similar to the one from Matheson’s I Am Legend, turns most of the world into vampires. Those who do not turn are hunted and farmed for blood to feed the vampire ruling class. The blood supply is dwindling, however, and it’s up to a hematologist, played by Ethan Hawke, to find a substitute or the entire human race faces rapid extinction.
Unfortunately, Yahoo movies is hosting the trailer and I can’t seem to embed it here, so you’re going to have to go there to check it out. Just be sure to come on back, y’hear?
