After a week's break, about time i got back to something useful!
The Examiner has a piece on the "Anita Blake : Vampire Hunter" being turned into a film, for summer 2010.
The poll result is in from Suburban vampire, on the best vampire film of the 1990's. Interview with the vampire (44%) beat Bram Stokers Dracula (23%) ...the rest nowhere!
USA Today has an interview with True Blood's Stephen Moyer here. Vampire Cafe has an interview with Eric here, and has found a nice thing from Denofgeek.com, their top 10 vampire deaths in video.
You may well have heard of "Let the right one in", a brilliant swedish vampire film... well, its alreay getting a remake. Vampire Cafe has an interview with the director here - Matt Reeves, of Cloverfield fame.
Dread Central has 2 clips from "Blood : The Last Vampire" here
Bloody Disgusting.com has found artwork for upcoming vampire flick "Daybreakers" here
The Examiner also has a nice piece on the greatest vampire films made, here
Book reviews - there is an interview with Amanda Grange, author of "Mr Darcy, Vampyre" here.
Chick Loves Lit blog has a review of "Dead Until Dark" by Charlain Harris here.
Author Syrie James has a new book in the pipeline... details below, excerpt of interview is from Marilyn brant's blog.
What’s next for you? Is there a new book in the pipeline? I’m hard at work on my next book, entitled Dracula, My Love. It's a retelling of Bram Stoker's famous novel from the POV of the heroine, Mina Harker: the untold story of her secret, scandalous passion for the man who is not her husband—the young, gorgeous, charismatic, intelligent, fascinating, and highly sympathetic Count Dracula, who she deeply loves, despite herself. This is a Dracula unlike the one we have formerly seen in film and print; a vampire with a heart and soul, who struggles against the evil within him, and whose past actions have been entirely misunderstood. The novel will be published by Morrow in hardcover in 2010. I’m having such a fabulous time writing this book. If you liked Jane Austen's Mr. Ashford, I promise this is a Dracula you will love!

hmmm.... souns just like the Dracula we saw in Coppola's vision and wasn't that primarily from Mina's point of view and wasn't she (scandalously) in love with Dracula...
Sounds like a book we just don't need.
It was inevitable i think... angsty dracula! I wonder if he is going to sparkle...
