Spierig Bros tackle a sweet sounding vampire flick called DAYBREAKERS with Weta in tow!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with news on Lionsgate's DAYBREAKERS, which is being developed by the Spierig Bros. I'm not the world's biggest fan of their break-out flick, UNDEAD, but it's obvious a huge amount of passion, sweat, tears, blood and spit went into it. Check out this description of DAYBREAKERS, though:

Ten years into the future, the world is populated by vampires and only 5% of the population remains human, an endangered species being farmed and harvested for their blood. The vampires are now in a desperate battle for survival with dwindling human reserves. Two “blood” brothers, Frankie Dalton, a fervent human hunter and member of the vampire army, and his brother Ed Dalton, a vampire scientist who mourns his lost humanity and is part of the underground movement to save humans, face off in a deadly struggle that will determine whether humans or vampires will ultimately survive.

Sounds pretty killer, doesn't it? And add on to that that Weta Workshop is doing the vampire effects and you got one excited genre fanboy here. Speaking of Weta Vampires, I'm also hearing word now that Weta isn't doing 30 DAYS OF NIGHT. I'm working on confirming that right now, but at least we'll get one guaranteed Weta Vampire outting!!! What do you folks think?
