Alicia Silverstone Joins Vamps
Posted by Rodneyon 11. 02. 2010in News Chat
Alicia Silverstone is reuniting with her Clueless director Amy Heckerling to bring us a lesbian Vampire Rom Com. How could THAT fail?
We talked about Vamps back in November when Parlay Films picked up the project.
Alicia Silverstone will be reuniting with Clueless director Amy Heckerling for her upcoming vampire love movie Vamps. The project was first announced last November, described as a “romantic comedy with vampires.” The script, by Heckerling, focuses on two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize their immortality.
Considering this is “two young female vampires” I am assuming “young” refers to how long they have been vampires. It is presumed that the 33 year old actress will be playing the lesbian vampire as Krysten Ritter (29) is already signed to play the other lesbian vamp.
Recently Silverstone has dropped her freshman 15 that she gained after her success in such films as Clueless, and she seemed to have dropped out of existance after she got a little pudgey.
But then maybe it was Batman and Robin that killed her appeal.
I am a little curious about this film, but the knee jerk reaction is to make a “this wouldn’t have been greenlit if not for Twilight and the Vampire Craze” joke.
“…and she seemed to have dropped out of existance after she got a little pudgey. But then maybe it was Batman and Robin that killed her appeal.”
I’ll bet n the latter and not the former, because she’s been mostly been sticking to TV movies (Candles On Bay Street</em), writing books on vegan diets, and occasional small bits in films, such as Tropic Thunder. Most of that pudgyness is gone; she looks really good.
So why am I so sure?
Chris O’Donnell is going CSI: LA. Although I liked Vertical Limit from ’98, It wlll the most significant thing he’s done since 97′s BNR.
Also, most everyone connected to B’N'R has had a rough time since. Those who for the most part have escaped such wrath are those who have copped to the fact that it was a lousy film.
But while I feel there were bigger problems with B’N'R , Silverstone (and O’Donnell) took most of the blame.
I don’t have much of a knee jerk reaction myself. If I were party to this, I’d really try to steer away from any possible Twilight influence/reaction and start watching something like 1981′s The Hunger for some inspiration.
Not that anyone will go there, of course. But hey, y’know….
Having a fat-ass in the bat-suit really killed her off huh?

I don’t think it was the weight. I think its a matter of after Clueless she was typed cast as a “teen star” but since she was already out of her teens (born in ’76 did Clueless in ’95) when she did that film she wouldn’t fit in that setting much longer. Its kinda ike she was type cast into a role that she was already aging out of.
Well, I don’t know anything about the second girl, but if Alicia Silverstone is playing a lesbian vampire, it’ll be the first vampire movie I’ve wanted to watch since Interview With A Vampire!
Here, Here.
the title makes me think of Grace Jones’ Vamp.
anyone remember that one? (forgotten fridays anyone?)
