Blog: Daybreakers - Vampire Culture Is Here To Stay

20 December 2009 2:24 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

If I were a Zombie I would be jealous. Vampires have all the popularity and are clearly all the rage these days. Of course this trend didn’t begin just now but boy has it taken off with lightening speed. One could say it began with True Blood where due to the availability of the right type of blood, vampires went from scary monsters to ordinary and sexy citizens practically overnight. Or was it The Twilight Saga books turned to movies that offered us a series of romance fantasy films? And then there is always The Vampire Diaries series on regular television (as opposed to HBO), a series that is clearly a mix of teen drama and the supernatural.

Daybreakers, the new movie from Lionsgate, written and directed by The Spierig Brothers, refreshingly takes the genre to a new type of vampiric world while managing to continue some of our more beloved myths. »

Danny DeVito And His Weird Trollfoot Fetish In Today's Daily TwitPic

4 December 2009 6:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

I've gotta admit, this whole "trollfoot" thing with Danny DeVito freaks me out a little bit. The guy takes a lot of joy in taking pictures of his foot under a variety of circumstances. Now I'm a big fan of DeVito, having grown up with classics like "Ruthless People," "Other People's Money," "Throw Momma From The Train," "Twins" and, of course, "Batman Returns." This whole foot thing though... it's just straight weird.

Then again, when you're as successful as DeVito's been -- and as consistently entertaining -- it's easy to overlook the odd quirk. In addition to his acting career, which has gotten a second wind from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," we're talking about a guy who served as a producer on such fine works as "Garden State," "Gattaca" and "Pulp Fiction." Still... this foot thing is strange. Especially when it's dressed up like a rooster, as you'll see »

New Daybreakers PSA Reminds You to Turn in Humans

17 November 2009 5:32 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Earlier this summer, we posted a great trailer for the upcoming modern vampire tale Daybreakers. The first time I watched the trailer was in the theater before watching The Final Destination and all I could think was “Wow, I wanna watch that instead!” How can a movie go wrong with actors like Ethan Hawke (Gattaca), Sam Neil (Event Horizon) and Willem Dafoe (John Carter of Mars)? The answer – You can’t!

Set in a (obvious) future, fictional world where vampires have just about converted every human to be a stalker of the night, Daybreakers takes the unique approach of applying modern day situations and geopolitical statements to the vampires – they are slowly running out of food (read: blood) and have begun farming humans for just their blood, think The Matrix but with plasma.

 

A group of humans, lead by the crossbow wielding Elvis (Dafoe), survive outside of the blood farms and while Edward (seriously? »

TV News: New Exorcist Remake and Gattaca TV Series Being Developed

16 November 2009 11:34 AM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »

William Peter Blatty, the author of the original novel The Exorcist, is supposedly reteaming with William Friedkin, director of the 1973 film for another version of the story. Though, according to Blatty, this new project won’t be going to theater screens. Instead, it will be a four-hour miniseries made for television.

Bloody Disgusting recently found this interview with the author, and when asked if he would change anything about the original film, Blatty stated:

“Yes and no. I would love to have been able to include the subplot involving Karl and his daughter Elvira which I did in my first draft, but that script ran to 172 pages, much, much too long. But I might have it my way in the near future, inasmuch as I’ve written an Exorcist miniseries script that not only faithfully includes all the main elements of the novel, but also some rather spooky new material and scenes, »

NCIS Producer Gil Grant Dicusses Gattaca TV Show

13 November 2009 8:36 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Sometimes, when you hear a movie is being turned into a TV show, you can’t help but cringe. It’s not always easy to make the transition from feature film to television show, especially when the movie has a loyal following. Some of the movies that have made the best transition into the TV world include M.A.S.H, Stargate, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Could Gattaca join that list?

Though often overlooked, Gattaca was one of the more interesting science fiction films to come out of the 1990s. Featuring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law, the movie explored a futuristic society where genetic engineering was the norm, creating a world where “Valids” (individuals who had been genetically enhanced before birth) live in a socially superior position to “Invalids” (average Joes like you and me).

TV Tidbits: Gattaca Series Will Be a Police Procedural, ABC Eying Charlies Angels and Goes Crazy with New Sitcom, New Caprica Poster

12 November 2009 11:12 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Let's start with the most interesting TV news tonight: MTV got to sit down with Gil Grant (24, NCIS:La), writer of the upcoming Gattaca television series, and managed to get some fascinating info from him. If you were wondering how Andrew Niccol's film would be adapted to TV, I have two words for you: Police procedural. While it's far from a unique concept on television, the idea of making one of the cops an Invalid (a person born without the benefit of genetic diagnosis), and another a genetically superior Valid, does seem somewhat inspired. There's a reason police procedurals have taken off so much---they're simply perfectly suited to TV storytelling. It also works well for this particular project because being in a police station will give us an inside glimpse into Gattaca's society of genetic have and have-nots. Grant is also adding another concept not found in the film, »

New Details on Gattaca TV Series Comes Forward

12 November 2009 9:34 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

A few weeks ago we reported that a TV version of Andrew Niccol's sci-fi classic Gattaca was moving forward, and now that project's writer revealed some new details. MTV Movies Blog recently spoke with writer-producer Gil Grant, who is writing the pilot for the series, about how he is opening up the world of the movie for this new police procedural.

"I came up with a world which is populated with Valids and Invalids, the same premise [as the movie], but taken into a police department where we're... integrating, using the analogy of the '60s Civil Rights struggle. Even though it's technically illegal to discriminate against Invalids, just like in the '60s people did," Grant continued. "So it's come to pass that [the government has] ordered the police department to hire their first token Invalid into the detective department. What we're doing is we're taking an Invalid and teaming him up with a Valid, »

Gattaca TV Show to Become a Generic Cop Show?

12 November 2009 9:32 AM, PST | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »

The idea of a “Gattaca” TV show sounds like a winner when I first heard it, but the idea of turning Andrew Niccol’s perfectly honed world into another generic TV cop show on TV? Aw, man, I don’t know, that sounds, well, generic to me. In any case, Gil Grant, who has been assigned to adapt the movie into a TV show for producer Denis Leary recently talked to MTV about his approach to the show. Grant confirms that Andrew Niccol has nothing to do with the show, will probably have no involvement whatsoever, and for better or worst, Grant plans to introduce a more procedural cop show vibe into “Gattaca”. Grant is no stranger to procedural shows, having worked on the incredibly dull but unfathomably popular “NCIS” shows, as well as the more enjoyable “24″. “I came up with a world which is populated with Valids and Invalids, »

Exclusive: 'Gattaca' TV Series Details From Writer And 'NCIS' Producer Gil Grant

12 November 2009 9:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

A couple weeks ago, Variety ran a story about what's next for Denis Leary, Jim Serpico and Apostle Films after the hit FX series "Rescue Me" wraps up in 2011. Tucked away at the end of the story was a brief bit about plans to produce a future-set one hour police procedural based on the Andrew Niccol-directed "Gattaca." Writer/producer Gil Grant, whose previous TV credits include "24" and "NCIS: Los Angeles," was named as the scribe, but that was where the news ended.

"Gattaca," released in 1997, didn't explode at the box office. It's attracted quite a following in its home video afterlife however, and deservedly so. You've got Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law starring in a futuristic thriller set in a world divided between Valids -- people who were genetically altered in utero to "reach their full potential" as humans -- and Invalids, or those born through natural means. »

tMF Featured Trailer: Ethan Hawke rocks in Daybreakers!

1 November 2009 6:36 PM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

Ethan Hawke may not be as popular as Leonardo DiCaprio or even Jude Law, but there was a time when his name appeared first in billing followed by Law - that's in Gattaca of course! I can still remember the young actor when he played opposite Robin Williams and Robert Sean Leonard in Dead Poets' Society and who can forget Hawke and Julie Delpy in Before Sunrise and Before Sunset? Oh, how about Reality Bites? I could go on and on, but before I forget - two awesome films - Before the Devil Knows You're Dead and Training Day.

Now, of all characters, he's playing a vampire! Can he bring some kind of 'wonderful' for the beloved (and infamous) fictional character?
