Bloody Crazy Over Vampires
Submitted by: Kyle Nin (SoSF Staff Reporter)
FOX television has caught “the undead” fever for its new fall season. It has opted for a pair of undead skiens, “Amy After Dark,” which will focus on a young New York attorney who discovers she’s a vampire. The other, an as-yet-untitled weekly drama that tells the story of a police detective who is secretly centuries old.
“Is it just me, or is everyone going vampire [undead] -crazy? You’ve got this show Amy After Dark, Blade: The Series, the Underworld movies, Ultraviolet, BloodRayne, Rise, 30 Days of Night, the Castlevania movie, Will Smith’s I Am Legend, Dracula Year Zero, and Priest.”
By the time they’re done, there won’t being any blood left to suck. Well, I suppose they will still be able to suck a buck or two out of somebody’s pocket book.
Nice thing about an undead horse is that you can keep on beating it because it’s already dead.
The police detective has been done, or doesn’t anyone remember “Forever Knight”?
I remember “Forever Knight” fondly. And gee, let’s not forget “Angel”… not a police detective, but an undead PI was where his heart was at to begin with.
I wonder whatever happened to that “Dark Shadows” remake that the WB was pursuing, and canceled “Angel” to make room for… only to have it fall apart in pre-production and never make it on-screen.
