As so many of the other posts here on MTV Movies Blog today already did today, I'm first going to remind you that "New Moon" is now in theaters. See, it's kind of a big deal. And as you might imagine, we have vampires on the brain as a result.

Now even the most rabid Twilighter will tell you that Stephenie Meyer's series isn't for everyone. The phenomenon has definitely grown beyond the core audience of teenage girls, but there are still those who prefer to see their blood-suckers swimming in entrails and terrorizing and unknowing public. Well we've got you covered. Really it's Hollywood that has you covered; I'm just here to give you an update. In the coming year and beyond, there are quite a number of vampire movies coming out, catering to a variety of audiences. Two more "Twilight" movies sure, but what else? Hit the jump to read about a few of our highlights. Read more...

If you read this blog regularly, you've probably heard me rave about "Daybreakers." It's a potent equation. Take Ethan Hawke, Sam Neill and Willem Dafoe, throw in a crossbow strapped to a shotgun, human blood farms and a society ruled by vampires. Wrap it all up with a story involving a renegade group of the blood-suckers working to "cure" themselves and the dwindling human population fighting back. I can't shout "sold" loudly enough.

What we have here is an exclusive TV spot for "Daybreakers," which hits theaters on January 8, 2010. I dig the vibe here, a PSA informing all vampires to turn in humans they find for the continued survival of all. Check it out.

In one fell swoop, my opinion of "Daybreakers" has shifted from "mildly interested" to "holy wow I want to see this now." Okay fine. I was more than mildly interested. The cast, which includes Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill is exciting on its own. And the poster we revealed a few weeks ago, featuring what appears to be a blood farm, is undeniably cool.

But the images we have for you today, part of an MTV Movies Blog week filled with awesome exclusives, seal the deal. Particularly the one you can see a snippet of right here: Willem Dafoe wielding a shotgun/crossbow and giving you the crazy eye. Kickass. The story follows a renegade group of vampires trying to restore humanity to a blood-sucker ruled world. January 8, 2010 seems very far away right now... Read more...

Looking at this poster, you might think it's a scene out of "The Matrix." You'd be wrong though. "Daybreakers" is a vampire flick that hits theaters on January 8, 2010. This is no "Twilight" though. "Daybreakers"' vampires live for human blood, none of that "vegetarian" nonsense. And that's what you see in the poster revealed after the jump: a vampire-run blood farm.

The story is set in 2019, a dystopian future Earth which has been ravaged by a living plague that turns the human population into vampires. The story follows a rebel group among the vampires, blood-suckers who want a return to the human condition. If the story isn't enough to snare you, take a look at the cast: Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill all star. Peep the new poster, revealed exclusively on MTV.com, after the jump. Read more...

It’s a vampire movie, the lead character is named Edward and it arrives in theaters this winter. Um no, not that one. But hey Twilighters... maybe we should keep an eye on this “Daybreakers” movie too, don’t ya think?

Starring Ethan Hawke (as Edward), Willem Dafoe, Sam Neil and “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” breakout Isabel Lucas, "Daybreakers" sounds like a less romantic, bloodier alternative to the "Twilight" craze. Lucas, an Australian native, sat down with MTV recently to spill the beans on the vampire flick’s hot new trailer, and how the flick is aiming to draw new blood out of the crowded genre.

Seems Ethan Hawke is a bit unstable these days: Recent reports surrounding his new film "Daybreakers" have him playing either a vampire or a researcher, depending on who you ask (and on what day).

Thankfully, we're here to end the confusion. The "Before Sunrise" star's agent confirmed to MTV News that Hawke actually plays both: a vampire researcher who searches for an alternative to human blood, which has become scarce as more and more people become creatures of the night. "It takes place in the future and the whole world is vampires. We're eating our own resources so people are trying to come up with blood substitutes, trying to get us off of foreign humans," Hawke said. "It's a huge allegory for where we are."

But just because it's an allegory for a serious issue (dwindling fossil fuels), that doesn't mean the flick takes itself seriously, said Hawke. "[It's] low art," the former Mr. Thurman confessed. "Completely unpretentious and silly."

"Daybreakers" co-stars Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill.

Serious question: From "Day of the Dead" to "Daybreakers," why does horror lend itself particularly well to satire? Sound off below.
