Director Joel Schumacher is going to kick some Nazi Vampire butt in new movie Helm Town Creek. Oh yes, this is good news. Our friends over at cinemablend.com give us this:
Joel Schumacher is done with froofy musicals (Phantom) and will return to the sort of filmmaking he’s good at. You know, stuff like bad vampire horror movies.
The Hollywood Reporter says the Batman & Robin director has signed up to helm Town Creek, a vampy Gold Circle horror movie. If vampires aren’t enough to get you interested, they’re also throwing in Nazis. It’s the story of a West Virginia man who helps his brother wipe out a family that once protected a Nazi vampire. See, genocide alone isn’t bad enough, to be really really evil you’ve also got to be a blood sucker. Gold Circle is the genre brand responsible for movies like Slither and the upcoming White Noise sequel. In other words, this is right up their alley. It’s written by Dave Kajganich, who seems to be the new it boy when it comes to horror sci-fi pitching. His first screenplay, The Visiting, hits theaters later this year and stars Nicole Kidman. He’s also working on another horror/thriller called Monkey’s Paw for 2008.
I am so excited about this! The director is going big, Nazi Vampire big. I see this being a very fun movie to watch. Schumacher hasn’t sunk his teeth into anything bloody in a while and the premise for this film is so outrageous that it just might work. I even have hope that the writing will be good since the writer Dave Kajganich has Nicole Kidman in his upcoming debut horror script. He has to be somewhat decent to attract big names to his first movie.
I love a good Vampire movie and there is nothing more cold blooded than a Nazi except…. a Nazi Vampire. The only thing that would make this better would be if it was a comedy. But comedy or not it is a delightful project and I wish many healthy buckets of blood on this production.
Be fruitful and multiply Nazi Vampire movie.
