Summary
This January, Lionsgate and Screen Australia takes vampires in a new direction with the futuristic sci-fi thriller, DAYBREAKERS. The year is 2019. A mysterious plague has swept over the earth, transforming the majority of the world's population into vampires. Humans are now an endangered, second-class species – forced into hiding as they are hunted and farmed for vampire consumption to the brink of extinction. It’s all up to Edward Dalton, a vampire researcher who refuses to feed on human blood, to perfect a blood substitute that might sustain vampires and spare the few remaining humans. But time and hope are running out – until Ed meets Audrey, a human survivor who leads him to a startling medical breakthrough. Armed with knowledge that both humans and vampires will kill for, Ed must battle his own kind in a deadly struggle that will decide the fate of the human race. Stylish, provocative and action-packed, DAYBREAKERS stars two-time Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke (Supporting Actor, TRAINING DAY, 2001; Adapted Screenplay, BEFORE SUNSET, 2004), Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill. Make-up Effects were created by WETA Workshop. DAYBREAKERS is written and directed by the Spierig Brothers. Lionsgate and Screen Australia Present a Lionsgate and Paradise Production in association with The Pacific Film and Television Commission and Furst Films. DAYBREAKERS is a film by the Spierig Brothers.
