Mais Tom Hiddleston

Hiddleston replaces Fessbender in Jarmusch`s vamp romance
By Emma Badame

From the broody baddies of Twilight and Underworld, to the popular small screen vamps from "True Blood" and "The Vampire Diaries", there's certainly no shortage of projects to satisfy your hunger for the undead these days. And lest you think you're immune to the thrall of the on-screen bloodsuckers, director Jim Jarmusch recently revealed he’ll be throwing his hat into the genre ring with a new film that may just appeal to a whole new audience. What sets this one apart? It's set to star Tilda Swinton, John Hurt and Mia Wasikowska.


The centuries-old love story between two vamps, currently titled Only Loves Left Alive , is set to start shooting later this year. Originally slated to star our breakout actor of 2011, Michael Fassbender, the romantic leading role is now in the more-than-capable hands of British actor Tom Hiddleston (Thor, War Horse). Though we have to admit we're bummed about not seeing Fassy front and center in this one, we're equally happy to see the talented Hiddleston get a chance to impress alongside the stellar cast. Did we mention Tilda Swinton? We did? Well...it bears repeating.

This one can't hit theatres soon enough for us.

And if it's more vamp action you're after, catch director Amy Heckerling's entry into the genre later this year. Vamps stars Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter as two young, blood-hungry vampire friends living and enjoying the never-ending nightlife in NYC until one of them falls for a mortal. Named Joey Van Helsing (Dan Stevens). The film also stars Sigourney Weaver, Wallace Shawn, Richard Lewis, Malcolm McDowell, Justin Kirk, Zak Orth and Kristen Johnston.
