The Spierigs Reveal the Vampires Secrets in Daybreakers

As most of you who come here often know the Spierig brothers are working on there sophmore picture after Undead called "Daybreakers". Moviehole was lucky enough to interview the brothers about the film. Most of it has already been covered on this site but I caught an interesting bit about how the vampires survive during the daytime hours.

"They are doing this at night but they have also modified their lives so they can function also in the daytime. Like they have modified their houses so they can block out their windows, they have built walkways so they can walk around during the day, they have modified their cars so they can drive during the day. But the problem is what has started to happen is this new world what’s started to happens is they are running out of their food supply, which is human blood. There is very few human beings left in the world and vampires are starting to starve. So the film is essentially about 2 brothers strangely enough. They go on 2 completely different paths…"

Daybreakers takes place about 10 or 15 years in the future, when vampires have taken over and moved back into their homes and go about their daily lives.

The film is about two brothers who take two different paths. One wants to be a vampire and live forever and thinks being a vampire is one of the greatest things. And the other brother thinks that as a vampire you lose your humanity, and he wants to become a human being again.

There are fewer human beings, and the blood supply is thinning out. The only way to survive is to become human again, and then become the hunted.

Don't forget that the brothers "Undead" will be released on July 1st in select theatres.
