DAYBREAKERS This January, Lionsgate takes vampires in a new direction with the futuristic sci-fi thriller, DAYBREAKERS.

The year is 2019. A mysterious plague has swept over the earth, transforming the majority of the world’s population into vampires. Humans are now an endangered, second-class species – forced into hiding as they are hunted and farmed for vampire consumption to the brink of extinction.

It’s all up to Edward Dalton, a vampire researcher who refuses to feed on human blood, to perfect a blood substitute that might sustain vampires and spare the few remaining humans. But time and hope are running out – until Ed meets Audrey, a human survivor who leads him to a startling medical breakthrough. Armed with knowledge that both humans and vampires will kill for, Ed must battle his own kind in a deadly struggle that will decide the fate of the human race.

Stylish, provocative and action-packed, DAYBREAKERS stars two-time Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke (Supporting Actor, TRAINING DAY, 2001; Adapted Screenplay, BEFORE SUNSET, 2004), two-time Academy Award® nominee Willem Dafoe (Supporting Actor, PLATOON, 1988; Supporting Actor, SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE, 2000) and Sam Neill.   Make-up Effects were created by WETA Workshop.   DAYBREAKERS is written and directed by the Spierig Brothers.

Dominican University will present a program titled “Fangs A Lot: The Vampire in Myth, Movies, and Popular Culture” at 7 p.m. Dec. 8 in the Martin Recital Hall, 7900 W. Division St. The panel, featuring Dominican faculty, will examine the current mania in literature, film and television for vampires and other supernatural beings.

The panel will cover such pop culture phenomena as Anne Rice’s vampire novels of the 1970s and ’80s, the current “Twilight” series in books and movies, the “True Blood” and “Vampire Diaries” television shows and the upcoming Tim Burton feature film treatment of the 1960s television show “Dark Shadows.”

Janice Del Negro, assistant professor in Dominican’s Graduate School of Library and Information Science and an award-winning children’s author, will explore the history of paranormal romance in young adult literature and the conflicting roles of the feminine protagonists in popular series such as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Twilight.” Carlissa Hughes, associate clinical professor of psychology, will examine the psychological roots of this genre’s popularity, especially amongst adolescent girls. The Rev. Richard Woods, professor of theology and the author of several books on fantasy and science fiction, will discuss the theological significance of vampirism and share his expertise in films focusing on the paranormal.

The panelists will entertain questions following the discussion. In addition, a bibliography of books and films focusing on the paranormal will be made available.

For more information on this free program, contact Jessica Mackinnon, director of public information, at (708) 524-6289 or jmack@dom.edu.
