Vamprie movies are all the rage right now thanks to that teenage-angst filled sensation Twilight. If I had a dollar for every story we’d run in the past few weeks about vampires… well, I’d make a lot more money off of online writing than I do. But vampire stories haven’t always been the realm of teenage depression, and they won’t always be. In fact, Suck is about ready to reclaim the genre… for rock and roll?
From Capri Films, Suck is about a group of rock and roll wannabees in search of immortality and a record deal. The rock band The Winners are anything but, but after a chance encounter with a vampire, the band rockets to stardom, only to discover that fame isn’t everything they were hoping for. Same message - vampirism isn’t for everybody - but in a significantly different shell.
The movie just started filming and is bringing more than it’s share of rock and rollers to the movie, with Henry Rollins, Iggy Pop, Moby, and Alice Cooper among the cast. Dave Foley plays the band’s manager, while Malcolm McDowell play’s the movie’s Van Helsing figure as a vampire hunter who is afraid of the dark. Rob Stefaniuk and Jessica Pare headline as members of The Winners.
I have to say, I’m ready for a new take on the vampire flick. While this isn’t exactly new, it’s a refreshing change from what we have seen, and what’s appearing on the horizon. Could Suck be the Sean of the Dead of vampire movies? We’ll find out as the movie progresses.
There’s nothing there yet, but the movie already has an official website, available at suckthemovie.com/.
