So you know that, in a post-Twilight world, we’re nowhere near done with vampire movies, right? To wit, Variety reports that the Rob Moran vampire comic series Blood Nation–”the story of a country overrun by vampires and walled off from the rest of the world”–is bound for Hollywood. In terms of recent Gothic reference points, this sounds more Daybreakers than Twilight. But my gambler’s instinct suggests that the former’s $30 million take does not inspire a greenlight, while the latter’s status as billion dollar franchise ($1.12 billion worldwide before this summer’s Eclipse) does so in spades. Too cynical?
Still, it sounds like a neat foundation for a movie, so I’ll take it no matter the muse. The comic comes from Platinum Studios, whose Cowboys & Aliens lured director Jon Favreau and stars Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, and Harrison Ford for a summer 2011 release.

Only Twilight isn't really a vampire film, it is a supernatural teen romance flick. Studios should invest in those rather than gritty and dark vampire horror comics/novel adaptations, if that is what they are going for. I'd hope one day that vampires can be accepted by a wider audience and not stereotyped much like zombies are. But lets be honest, the traditional vampire tale, like the traditional zombie tale will never be popular on the scale we all hope it could… but it doesn't mean those of us without the prejudice can't enjoy some kick ass horror films, even if they have to use Twilight as a selling point to get the movie made.
Daybreakers was pretty good IMO, a B movie sure, but it had a nice premise and it was entertaining, the ending was a bit weak but I did like the slaughter fight scene, that was pretty funny.
I hope the 30 Days of Night sequel is as good as the original, that was easily one of the best vampire films in the last decade, if not ever. I'd probably find a spot for it on the top 25.
The problem with this whole new vampire wave is that Twilight isn’t REALLY a vampire series. It isn’t vampires that made the series millions, its teen romance. They should be investing in supernatural teen romance flicks, not gritty and dark vampire horror comics/novels. Not that I’m complaining, those are the real vampires worth seeing on film!
Daybreakers was an interesting film, the ending was a bit lame (though the slaughter scene was one of the most hilarious and gory I’ve seen). It was certainly a nice addition to the vampire sub-genre, reminds me of John Carpenter’s Vampires.
I hope the sequel to 30 Days of Night is also good, the first one was amazing; easily one of the top vamp flicks of the last decade.
