Not content with getting down with Julie Delphy Before Sunrise, now Ethan Hawke is taking on some vamps in distopian bloodsucker flick Daybreakers.
Directed by Undead's Peter and Michael Spierig, the film, set in 2019, follows Hawke's character Edward Dalton, a haematology researcher who lives within a world where virtually all of the population have been turned into vampires by a plague. But the vampires are in serious need as their human blood source comes close to complete extinction. So Dalton is tasked with creating a synthetic substitute, unless the human race can be saved.
The trailer is part I Am Legend, part Gattaca - and very exciting. They have crossbows and everything.
The film co-stars the ever-scary Willem Dafoe playing against type as a good guy human, the usually nice-as-Australian-pie Sam Neill as intimidating leader of the vampires, Claudia Karvan, Michael Dorman, Vince Colosimo and Isabel Lucas.
Daybreakers hits cinemas on January 8 2010.
