Michael and Peter Spierig, who wrote and directed the cheapie horror Undead have revealed they have just finished the first draft of a script called The Daybreakers they are developing for Lions Gate. "[We] just finished the next draft [for Daybreakers] and are about to deliver it to Lions Gate. Everyone's very excited about it. The film is much darker and far more serious than Undead. It's about a world dominated by vampires. [The vampires] have tried to continue their lives as normal people," they explain. "Human beings are on the brink of extinction [and] it's just a matter of time before the entire human population is wiped out. Vampires will suffer an eternity of starvation and madness if they can't find an alternative to human blood, [but] one man discovers a solution that will save the vampire race - they must become human again."
