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.
