Sigourney Weaver to be Queen Vampire in movie 'Vamps'? Yes Please!

Extra extra, read all about it, this just in from The Hollywood Reporter:

Sigourney Weaver, who fought a monster queen in "Aliens," will now act as a vampire queen in "Vamps," a romantic horror-comedy from Amy Heckerling. 
Written by Heckerling, the writer-director behind "Clueless" and "Look Who's Talking," the modern-day story focuses on beautiful young vampires (Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter) who are living the good nightlife in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize their immortality. 
The UTA-repped Weaver, coming off of "Avatar," will play Ciccerus, the bloodthirsty vampire who turned the two ladies into creatures of the night.

Having read a little about Heckerling's movie, I was already interested in seeing it as I adore horror-comedies, but adding Sigourney to the mix seals the deal.  She's one of the few actors or actresses that I can forgive when they do shit, i.e. her stint in Avatar.  She was the only saving grace for that film, IMHO. (Yes, I'm well aware I may be one of 5 people in the world that thought that film was waaaaaaaay overrated.)  All Hail Queen Vamp Sigourney!

Vampires love Glee

As some may recall, a few posts back we recommended following @willthedaybreak on Twitter.  This Twit is, or was, a human witnessing and tweeting the beginnings of the vampire take-over that is to be seen in the upcoming movie Daybreakers.  I say 'was' because he has since become a vampire himself, having been attacked by his neighbor and eaten his own cat.  Fluffy didn't stand a chance.

Whenever I find new interesting characters like this fellow on Twitter, I like to check out those whom they follow.  I've found some of the best people that way.  I figured I'd find the predictable types in his list, vampire lovers, horror movie enthusiasts, etc.  However, I didn't bank on one type of Twit whom he seems to be most fond...Glee.  Yes, as in the show on Fox Glee.  We're not talking just the main show Twitter account, oh no, we're talking oodles of Glee fanatics from all over the globe.  Here are just a few from the first few pages of his Follow list:  @GLEEisLIFE,  @GleePodcast, @GleeForum, @gleeky, @gleequotes, @GleeFans, @gleeks, @GLEEonFOX, @GleekSquad, @gleebrasil_.  There may be more, but with almost 2,000 folks that he's following, I'm too lazy to do more searching.

I'm not sure why this made me giggle or even why it stood out at all.  Let's be honest, we've all always known that vampires have a flair for the dramatic.  Lestat loved to wear frilly clothes whilst prancing around New Orleans and the Twilight book/movie series vampires love drama so much so they actually choose to hang out with high school girls, perhaps the most dramatic species that ever walked the earth.  So it really seems only natural (or supernatural?) that a newly vampired being would gravitate to a show so overly dramatic (yet awesome, I do want to stress that I love Glee as well).  Hmm, since I also like Glee so much, I wonder if I would make a good vampire?  Probably not, I get annoyed by high school girls too easily, so I'll remain a blood bag for now.

Viral marketing is not just a good business move, its damn fun, too.  By creating accounts on Facebook and Twitter that are from characters or organizations in a movie, the film allows the movie-goer to become a part of the story.  And who doesn't like to be a part of something!  Gee Willikers!

I am very excited about Daybreakers coming out soon and was equally excited when I learned of their viral marketing/social media campaigns.  Become a fan on Facebook and keep abreast of the latest news and info.  Visit the Capture Humans website, sponsored by Bromley Marks, to learn how YOU started the evolution.

On Twitter, follow @willthedaybreak and interact with a human fighting to stay alive and make sense of this strange new world. Below is a photo (one of several that he's tweeted) that @willthedaybreak took from the stairwell of his building as well as a short video of someone (or something) he found outside his apartment.

"They’re Alive: Real Scientific Reasons to Believe in Vampires, Werewolves, & Zombies"

We're all nice, semi-sane people, who loves to watch horror movies and ponder the what-if's, but we all know those scary monsters couldn't ever really exist...or could they?  Super awesome site Neatorama (subscribe to their feed if you haven't already) has posted a very interesting article orginally published by Mental Floss magazine (which also boasts a sweet feed to which you should subscribe).

The topics covered in this article are:

• Dracula vs Cujo
• The Madness of King George
• Teenage Werewolf
• Dawn of the Dead, Revisited

While most of us have been brought up thinking it was just old wives' tales and the like that 'created' these creepy creatures, author Matt Soniak details how science, surprisingly enough, may be just as guilty at bringing life to the undead and their fellow monsters.  Check out the full article and then venture on over to Mental Floss and Neatorama for more awesomeness.
