Willem Dafoe and Ethan Hawke do it up with vampires in “Daybreakers”

// January 7th, 2010 // No Comments » // Trailers

We haven’t talked much about Daybreakers, the upcoming vampire film by writer/director siblings Michael and Peter Spierig, but the release of the film’s extended TV trailer seems reason enough to shed some light on it. The film stars Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe in a world where vampires rule, and humans are a minority hunted for blood. In the trailers it’s revealed that the vampires blood supply is dwindling, and that they’re searching for a synthetic blood substitute. There’s also talk of a “cure”—apparently the worldwide vampirism was caused by a plague of some sort.

I like the film’s reversal by making vampires the dominant group, and overall it looks like a perfectly stylish blend of sci-fi and horror. Quite honestly, I was hoping we’d eventually see a film with this premise in the Blade universe, but we can thank David Goyer for running that into the ground with Blade: Trinity.

Industry insiders praise the film for its high concept, some action sequences, and the Spierig brother’s ability to get a lot out of a low budget. Overall, it was better than they both expected. Apparently, Daybreakers was delayed for some time since its completion, which had them both worried about its quality going in.

New Iron Man Poster by way of Director Jon Favreau’s twitter account

So director Jon Favreau’s Twitter account shows the new poster for Iron-Man 2!

In addition to featuring the new Iron-Man costume, and that fancy Iron-Man 2 title you’ve so been looking forward to, the poster gives us one of our first looks at War Machine.

So the poster only shows Iron Man and War Machine posing like rappers, but we like it anyways cause Robert Downey Jr is bad ass!! Terence Howard has been replaced by Don Cheadle in the sequel. We love Cheadle too so this could be fun!!

That’s right mi gente, Amaury Nolasco is a Puerto Rican actor who has guest starred on several TV shows including, “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “ER,” “George Lopez”, and “CSI: New York.”

His first major supporting role was in the film 2 Fast 2 Furious as “Orange Julius.” When my buddy John Singleton was doing post on the feature he told me how much he loved working with Amaury. He even asked me if I knew Nolasco, whom I have never met and I replied “Why? you think all Boricuas know each other?”

I like Amaury Nolasco’s work from dramatic to comedic he brings it in.

He was in “The Benchwarmers with Rob Schneider as the drunk Dominican player, then rocked it out in Michael Bay’s Transformers, Max Payne, Street Kings and who can forget him as Fernando Sucre in “Prison Break” come on you can’t front the guy is alright.

He’s so cool he’s going to be visiting us here on LatinoFilmChatter next week!
