So I was purusing Ign.com today and took a peek into the movie trailers section. I was surprised to find not one, two, or even three movies involving vampires, but four movies about vampires or vampiric behavior. We have Twilight: New Moon, Grace, Thirst, and Blood: The Last Vampire. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many vampire movies coming out within such as short time period.
Twilight: New Moon is, as you might have guessed, the sequel to the film Twilight released last year.
I had to look up Grace, and it’s not technically a vampire movie, but there is a baby that drinks blood so I thought that was a qualifier. According to IMDB it was released in January.
Thirst is about a priest who becomes a vampire via a failed medical experiment while longing after a woman. It was released April 30th in South Korea and stands to have a limited US release on July 31st.
Blood: The Last Vampire is a live action version of the anime movie of the same name. It was released May 29th.
Much of this is news to me, though I was aware of Blood: The Last Vampire and the original Twilight movie I was surprised that we have four movies (that I know of) that have been released in 2009 or are going to be released in 2009 about vampires. Thats quite alot, at least it seems so to me.
Anyone else have that opinion?
