Daybreakers (血世紀) is a 2010 science fiction vampire film. The movie stars Ethan Hawk and Willem Dafoe. Supporting cast include Sam Neil and Claudia Karvan. The movie is mostly Australian. The film was filmed in Australia as well as the filmmakers.
In the future, vampires are the ruling class and humans are hunted and farmed for their blood. Ethan Hawke as Edward Dalton is a scientist for the largest human farming corporation. Edward is trying to find a alternative to human blood for the vampires. One night, Edward gets into a near miss accident with a SUV of humans. Instead of turning them in, he leads the human hunters on another trail. One of those people that he lets get away is Claudia Karvan as Audrey Bennett, part of a human resistance. They recruit Edward into their resistance. Willem Dafoe as Lionel "Elvis" Cormac is part of that resistance.
The movie was pretty awesome. The science fiction aspect of it was reminecent of Hawks Gattaca movie. But this one was for vampires and vampires are not zombie like creatures that have no soul. The blood alternative take was quite intriguing as well.
If you're a fan of science fiction, this one is a must see. Vampire only lovers will want to skip this.
