When are they going to make a movie about that one variety of vampire that only sucks blood out of your feet, so the only way to defeat it is for two people to sleep in the same sleeping bag but pointed in opposite directions so that when the vampire tries to suck feet they discover a head so when they go to the other end of the bag they discover another head and they have a divide by zero error thinking the person in the sleeping bag has heads at either end and no feet and dies. Tarantino would love it.

I guess we now know what the first draft of From Dusk Till Dawn was.

If he was going to be in another vampire movie, I’m surprised it’s not Eggers’ Nosferatu remake.

Also, lol that Nicholas Hoult is also going to be in that one.

Nicholas Hoult has a face that screams "I'm going to run afoul of Dracula" and frankly it's surprising that it took until this year for it to happen.

This movie rules because it’s a Shaw Bros/Hammer Horror co-production. Highly recommend.

I worked on Afterlife and the VFX ran for about a year, so the current release date is definitely optimistic unless they've massively scaled back from the previous movie.

I don’t think there’s anyway in hell they do less effects. I’m no expert on doing VFX but their timetable seems completely unworkable even if they destroy a dozen effects companies in the process.

Maybe they're already doing the effects. They might have shot the effect stuff first and moved onto location photography, although as I understand it - and as a total idiot layperson - that would be unusual.

It's not unheard of - usually location shooting and studio shooting are done separately rather than going back and forth. They might have had all the studio stuff scheduled first, which could include a lot of green screen environment extensions. Though on Afterlife, they filmed from July to October in 2019, and we started to get footage turned over in September, once most of it had already been shot. It sounds like they started shooting in late March on the new one, so there's still probably another month to go before the VFX vendors start any real work on it.

It takes place in the year 12090. There was a nuclear apocalypse, vampires took over afterwars and made a advanced sci-fi society where they ruled the world, but eventually they got lazy and a revolutionary human faction overthrew them. The main character is a dhampir who hunts surviving vampires who are extremely dangerous still.

The setting for Vampire Hunter D is so cool, wish they made more of those movies or a series or something.
