Kudos to the lads at Quiet Earth for spotting the first teaser for Dennis Gansel's We Are The Night (Wir Sind Die Nacht) - an upcoming vampire picture from the acclaimed director that just went into production in October.
Now, while I wouldn't call what is happening in Germany right now a genre renaissance there is certainly a growing openness to smart, high end material with a strong genre tint to it and Gansel is one of the leaders of that movement, tapping into a much more youthful approach to his films than has been the norm in Germany for quite some time.
This one? This one revolves around a young woman initiated into a trio of vampires, a woman who initially enjoys the new rush of power but eventually tires of the bloodlust and tries to distance herself from the others and lead a quiet life. This, of course, does not go over well. Given that Gansell's previous film was based on the true story of a high school experiment with fascism gone wrong I'd expect this to appeal to a relatively young crowd while also steadfastly refusing to pander to it. So no Twilight softness here.
The teaser shows next to nothing - understandably given how freshly into production they are - but can be found below.
