We talk vamps around here all the time. It’s kind of “the thing” these days as you may have noticed. From “True Blood” to Twilight to the more recent Underworld installation, vampires are definitely the trendy thing right now amongst the popular culture crowd.
And of course, as we’re all aware, the phenomena isn’t only relegated to North America. Asia has also taken an interest and Focus features released a brand spanking new (English) trailer today for Chan-wook Park’s (Vengeance Trilogy) vampire tale, Thirst.
Not sure what is so “red band” about the trailer aside from maybe a little blood. But Oh. My. God. This looks bloody awesome. Winner of the jury prize at Cannes, now I see why. Thirst will be unleashed on July 31 (limited) to an unsuspecting North American crowd. Prepare:

Ooh finally a trailer with a bit more stuff, I haven’t been that excited for this untill now. Looks crazy good.
Oh. Dear. God. This had better open in town.
Looks a bit sexy and a whole lot disturbing. I am so beyond sold.
Sadly, Thirst got bad reviews (and not from the Cannes mainstream press, but rather the genre crowd there…I still want to see it very much though!).
I think the Korean surprise of ’09 will be Bong Joon Ho’s Mother
Reviews be damned! It looks fabulous!
