The Vampyre film that I truly WANT to see!
by The Perfessor br>To be sure, I totally know next to nothing about this film, but the title of it all on its own is enough to entice me to leave my house and head to the theater. Seriously.
For now, this is what I have:
An out of work lothario, Julian Marsh (Hoffman), scores a break as the director of an off-Broadway play. The play is a bizarre adaptation of Hamlet written by a pale Romanian (Ventimiglia) who is actually a master vampire. A perfect combination of low-brow humor and high-brow aesthetics, this comedy/horror film follows an eccentric cast of characters to explain the connection between Hamlet, the Holy Grail, and some very sexy vampires.
I can’t really fully tell you why, except to say that the alliteration of the line “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are dead,†has always held a special place in my writer’s heart. (I actually always wanted to write a story that had two characters named...but that would be telling...)
Seriously, I want to see this film.
