Gemma Arterton (“Quantum of Solace”) and Saoirse Ronan (“The Lovely Bones”) will play vampires in “Interview with the Vampire” director Neil Jordan’s return to necknibbling territory, “Byzantium”.
Based on a script by Moira Buffini, the female fang-flick details the story of a mother vampire who turns her own daughter into a vampire and the pair form a lethal partnership, sometimes posing as sisters.
Producer Stephen Wooley, who worked with Jordan on 1984’s “The Company of Wolves”, based on Angela Carter’s novel, tells The Hollywood Reporter, “I love the horror genre and we’ve been working on this for three or four years. I sent it to Neil and he liked the script. We’d both recently revisited Angela Carter’s book and it was just chance that when I called [Jordan], we were thinking along the same lines.”
Guys will be hanging about the frontyard of the girls’ home with their necks sticking out, right?
