Next week may not offer any sure bets, but it has a bit of potential. The Australian production Daybreakers with Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill has a certain degree of promise. It’s kind of nice to see a vampire picture that isn’t a Twilight travesty and isn’t utter garbage like Transylmania. The trailer doesn’t look bad, but is certainly in the “could go either way” realm. The film’s twin brother directors Michael and Peter Spierig are an unknown quantity to me. What amuses me about this one is that it’s coming from Lionsgate as part of their latest new move to focus more on horror movies, which sounds a lot like their position pre-Joe Drake—the guy responsible for burying The Midnight Meat Train. I guess Mr. Drake’s insistence on “quality” pictures (which mostly seemed to mean more Tyler Perry) didn’t pan out so well. I’m not expecting much, but I’m intrigued.
Also up is Miguel Arteta’s Youth in Revolt. Now, Arteta hasn’t done much in the theatrical realm since the good, but not great, Jennifer Aniston vehicle The Good Girl. Plus, the film stars Michael Cera, who is going to have to work hard to win me over after Paper Heart and Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. (I didn’t see Year One and have no intention of changing that.) For that matter, he needs to prove he can play more than one character, which this offers him the chance of doing. I’m not optimistic, but I’m willing to give it a shot.
