Come on Ethan, Scare me.

Looks like the Vampire mythology is going through a bit of a Post-Twilight sea-change... and I say, Bring it on.  One of my favorite things about the vampire ouevre is how flexible the mythology is. Daybreakers opens this weekend with Ethan Hawke at the center of a clever take on an apocalypse movie for the 'immortals' once the human blood supply begins to run dry. Begging the question, what's worse, to live forever as a de-volved creature of the night, or to be a mere mortal? In that respect, I'd say the vampires would suffer a tad more that the average joe. 

I09 has a great review, which I encourage you to read rather than summarizing it here. The world as described sounds totally original as a complete contemporary role-reversal with vampires in the majority and humans reduced to the role of cattle in a factory farm. Plus, it just looks so visually striking, with the glowing labs, blackout car windows, and golden vampire eyes.  (I included the trailer below - feast your eyes on those corneas.)

I had a momentary thought about the similarity/extrapolation from Charlaine Harris' type contemporary supernatural world, you know, like "what if Eric, the Queen, et al completely took over and ravaged the planet in a Terminator-type of future" story? However, I feel that Charlaine wouldn't condone all the overconsumption as it goes against her message of tolerance. But, I digress...
