Warners Begins ‘Blood Wars’ Against Slavery
Warner Bros. has just acquired Blood Wars, said to be a radical reinvention of vampire mythology, TheWrap reports.
Imagine Entertainment is producing the film where “vampires have control of the world and humans are their slaves. But humans infiltrate the vampire army and plan a rebellion.” If you ask me it sounds like the same ol’ song and dance, and not much of a “reinvention”…
The project is based on a story by Chad St. John and Blacklight Transmedia, with Dalan Musson writing the script.
The subgenre remains big (in development) with Twentieth Century Fox in production on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, The Hunger, a remake of Tony Scott’s 1983 film, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, based on the television show, Midnight Mass, based on the DC Comic, Nocturnal, with Legendary Pictures and Bite Me, with Thunder Road and Mad Chance.
Funny how none of these films (sans Abraham Lincoln) have made it into production — and it’s even funnier that the success of both “True Blood” and Twilight resurrected Vlad, two projects that land in a completely different subgenre with an even more narrow audience. Still, it’s exciting to know the studios are attempting to get more fangs into theaters.
Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.
Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.
The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”
In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.
“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.
You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
