    This sounds whack, i'd prefer paying to read the original Mahwa not comic book, movieweb :).

    The movie concept just sucks big predator balls.

    You can probably find the mahwa online or from a download, its amazing. This is pretty hard to adapt to film, and having a studio behind it works moneywise, but not artisically for the concept, since a lot has been removed from the original source.

    I'll see it because it is about vampires but right now it does not sound that great.
