Daybreakers Trailer

Tags: , ,

Visually stunning. Looks like a mix of Blade and The Matrix. I also see some similarities to the under-appreciated, if only slightly flawed, Terminator Salvation. And what a refreshing play on a tired genre: Vampires are the dominant race and with the humans near extinct, they face their demise with no blood to feed.

Daybreakers is the vision of German twin brothers Michael and Peter Spierig, whose previous writing and directing credits include Undead and The Big Picture. We have nearly six full months before Daybreakers hits screens for a January 8, 2010 release date and I’m sure good amount of people can’t wait. HD trailer, synopsis and cast after the jump.

Synopsis:

Two-time Academy Award nominee® Ethan 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.

Cast courtesty of Wikipedia:

  • Ethan Hawke as Edward Dalton, a vampire researcher who tries to save humanity from extinction.
  • Sam Neill as a vampire in charge of a corporation.
  • Willem Dafoe as a vampire who duels with Hawke’s character.
  • Claudia Karvan as Lucy, Edward’s love interest.
  • Vince Colosimo in an unnamed role.
  • Isabel Lucas as the last surviving member of the human race.
