Oh wow.  Seriously, wow.  I’m just all kinds of enthusiastic about this next bit of news, kids, as it features one of my personal fave actors who you never want to be around, Sam Neill.

See, in movies involving Sam Neill, like, say, Jurassic Park, supporting characters have a way of…well…dying.  While Sam Neill himself generally plays the guy who gets out in one piece, not even his love interests can say the same.  Event Horizon, Snow White: A Tale of Terror, In the Mouth of Madness–all of them have featured Sam Neill and a whole lot of bodies piling up around him.  When the guy can actually put Damien from “The Omen” on the list of characters he’s played (It’s true–he was Damien in The Omen 3), you know this isn’t a guy you want to be around if you’re in a horror movie.

And now, he’s coming back in the recently completed film “Daybreakers”, about a group of vampires in the not too distant future of 2017 who have discovered that they have the cure to a plague attacking the human race.

Perhaps even more interesting is the revelation that the whole thing will be written and directed by the Spherig brothers, the guys who brought us Australian zombie classic “Undead”.  This combination, slated to be released later this year according to the IMDB, should be an absolute knockout and one I’m looking forward to seeing.
