Loads of Hi-Res ‘Daybreakers’ Images, New Viral Websites!
January 8th is only a few weeks away and Lionsgate is gearing up for their release of Peter and Michael Spierig’s violent post-apocalyptic vampire flick Daybreakers, which stars Ethan Hawke, Sam Neill, Willem Dafoe, Claudia Karvan, Michael Dorman and Vince Colosimo. Not only did we get our hands on a stack of action-packed hi-res stills, but we’ve learned of two new viral websites that can be found here and here. In the film Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed the world’s population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race.

Released by Eli Roth’s label The Horror Section last year, Joe Begos (VFW, Christmas Bloody Christmas) horror movie Jimmy and Stiggs is getting an official spinoff movie.
Sebastián De Caro has acquired the Argentine spin-off rights to Jimmy and Stiggs from The Horror Section, and his spinoff movie will follow new characters in Argentina.
The title? Burger Night: Luli, Magda & Lore. Eli Roth and Joe Begos will Executive Produce the film, which centers on the same alien threat from Jimmy and Stiggs.
Variety reports this afternoon that the film will feature an all-female cast.
Agostina Palazzolo (“Ciclón), Agustina “Papry” Suásquita (Netflix’s “Envious”) and Maia Tarcic (“Letters to My Ex”) will star in Burger Night: Luli, Magda & Lore.
“I am thrilled with the cast — these are women of extraordinary talent, true cinema lovers, brave and wild. They are going to surprise everyone. Each one understands her character perfectly and they all fell in love with the original material,” Sebastián De Caro said.
In Jimmy and Stiggs…
A perfect storm of lousy news sees out-of-work filmmaker Jimmy spiral into a bender, during which he claims to have been abducted by aliens. Fearing their return, he contacts his old friend Stiggs to help him gear up for war. Begos stars alongside Matt Mercer (Contracted), practical alien puppets, and a whole lot of gore captured on 16mm film.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his review, “The world needs more playful, gonzo small-scale-yet-apocalyptic horror films like Jimmy and Stiggs. It’s a movie that has constant tricks on display and perpetually sprays blood in the audience’s face, but there’s an earnest center to it all.”
