There are too many of these vampire movies going around with the advent of the Twilight generation. Now there news of a new Moira Buffin Vampire film in the works. The film will be called Byzantium. There was a play commissioned for the movie already and there is also planned movie adaptation of the film in the near future.
So the official synopsis that we got via slash film will be totally altered or identical to the film. There is a spoiler alert be sure to read it at your own peril.
Two young women arrive in a nameless British smalltown. Their names are not their own. They don’t declare their ages. Their relationship with each other is not clear. Are they sisters, as their assumed identities declare? Or are they mother and daughter? The eldest, Claire, takes a job in a pub. The youngest, Eleanor, goes to school.
During a truth exercise in her drama class, Eleanor confesses that she has been alive for over two hundred years and has survived by drinking human blood. Her classmates think she is utterly crazy and Mint, her teacher, puts her in touch with the school counsellor. She makes one friend, Frank, a boy who has been home educated and is as much of an oddity as Eleanor. He tries to get to the bottom of her vampire delusion, thinking it an epic and compelling psychosis. Why would anyone want to be undead?
Frank’s parents believe that Ella is an anorexic – why does she never eat? Eleanor has started to write her life story as a play. She describes Claire’s background as a prostitute in 19th century London and her own as a child in a private orphanage. Meanwhile, things are falling apart. People are disappearing. Are Eleanor and Claire vampires? Or are they troubled young women on the run?
There is no hint of the cast or the crew news anywhere. It seems to be a mix of Let the Right one in and some really audacious Lyne Ramsay movie. The film will be co produced by Stephen Woolley and Elizabeth Karlsen’s Number 9 Films with Parallel Productions.
