Back in March, it was announced that Japanese director Shunji Iwai (All About Lily Chou-Chou, Hana and Alice) would be directing an English-language vampire film. The film starting shooting in Vancouver last week, and a new round of western cast members have been announced.
It was previously known that Kevin Zegers would star in the film alongside Amanda Plummer and Japanese star Yu Aoi. The newly-announced additions include Keisha Castle-Hughes (Whale Rider), Rachael Leigh Cook (She’s All That), Kristin Kreuk (Smallville), Adelaide Clemens (X-Men: Origins), and Trevor Morgan (Mean Creek).
Zegers will star as a schoolteacher who craves human blood and seeks out suicidal women to become his victims/lovers.
Yesterday, JustJared.com confirmed that the previously untitled film is now officially titled Vampire. So yeah, you can see what took them so long; creative inspiration can sometimes be an elusive mistress.
