A Look at a Vampire Creature from Lionsgate’s ‘Daybreakers’
Beyond the break you’ll find a very cool new vampire pic from Peter and Michael Spierig’s hotly anticipated Daybreakers (review), which finally arrives in theaters January 8, 2010 from Lionsgate. Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) is 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.
Avengers: Doomsday and Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai actor Simu Liu is joining Allison Williams (M3GAN) and Michelle Randolph (Scream 7) on the sci-fi survival thriller Homewrecker, Deadline reports today.
Production is set to begin next month in Paris, France.
In Homewrecker, “During a heart-breaking domestic revelation, three star-crossed Americans are suddenly forced to work together to survive a terrifying unexplained global event that threatens to destroy life as they know it.”
Xavier Gens (Under Paris, Frontier(s)) will direct from a script by Elisa Bell (Vegas Vacation) and Travis Gordon, which has been likened in spirit to 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Producers include Denise Di Novi, Margaret French Isaac, & Oliver Scherick for Di Novo Pictures (Practical Magic) and John Zois & Warren Goz for Parallel 42 Entertainment.
Williams will executive produce alongside Michael Rothstein & Samuel Hall for North.Five.Six, which is launching sales at next week’s Cannes film market. CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group co-rep domestic rights.
