An international trailer has surfaced for Neil Jordan‘s vampire movie Byzantium. The trailer boasts of Jordan’s connection to Interview With A Vampire, but Jordan’s 1984 scary lycanthrope fairy tale The Company of Wolves (with Angela Lansbury!) or even his work on Showtime’s The Borgias would be more of a lure than the director’s 1994 misadventure with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. IFC Films picked up U.S. theatrical rights last year at Toronto but hasn’t set a release date. This potentially intriguing story about a pair of vampires on the run stars Gemma Arterton, Caleb Landry Jones, Daniel Mays, Jonny Lee Miller, Sam Riley and Saoirse Ronan.

Neil jordan always pulls the best actors. Glad to see someone still actually casts actors who can act as opposed t these model-actor-whatevers that are ruining the cinema.
Gemma Arterton is the new Maggie Smith. The other actors in the film are solid to excellent, but Arterton is the biggest ‘model-actor-whatever’ – even though she made her name as an actor. Other than the fact she’s hot, I am baffled that she gets as many plum gigs as she does.
Yes, this is especially true in the case of Saoirse. I’m happy to see this trailer because it’s a reminder that she will have four live action films in the theaters this year. When her next film debuts in late March, it will mark her first film in nearly two years. That is too long an absence for such a gifted screen talent.
Yeah, I don’t know what the hell the DL-Team is talking about.
Interview was NOT a “misadventure”. It was a great film that launched careers and has staying power, and whatever you might personally think of Pitt and Cruise, they are both great actors.
I’d have to disagree about Interview with a Vampire. That movie was/is a decent, dark vampire movie. Weak link: Christian Slater. Thankfully, his part was small.
This Byzantium pic just looks like a remake with women in the lead.
I wouldn’t say INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE was a “misadventure”. It was pretty good, not great mind you, has a 60% on Rottentomatoes, but is definitely more memorable than COMPANY OF WOLVES, which I doubt very few people remember. And who cares about TV when you’re marketing a film. Out of those three choices, I would definitely pitch as from the dir. of INTERVIEW… and it has a little big of the feel of it too.
I like how no one signed their name to that comment (i.e. from the Deadline Team).
How is Interview With The Vampire a “misadventure?” It’s a great movie, no one cares about your opinion on movies, “Deadline Team.”
Interview With The Vampire a “misadventure”, that’s the best joke I’ve heard all day. It has a cult following and sits currently at 7.5 on IMDb.
I’ve never even heard of The Company of Wolves (with Angela Lansbury!) or The Borgias, might check them out. Anyway, the trailer looks good.
I thought I’d be the only one defending ‘Interview with a Vampire’. I thought for a vampire flick it was pretty entertaining.
But w/ actual/better actors, it could’ve been even better.
Brad Pitt was in over his head.
Tom Cruise was completely miscast.
I think this article tells us more about media than of movies. The very good vampire movie Interview with a Vampire is a “misadventure” because today, 20 years later its cool to hate on anything related to Tom Cruise. This new vampire movie is awesome, because it follows the trend of teenage vampires with magic powers who are misunderstood by their peers.
Basically, if your movie is good or bad depends on what the narrative is at the moment. If this movie was a sequel and produced by Marvel, Deadline would most likely give it a 5/5 instead of the 4/5 sounding recommendation they were paid to give it this time.
Who cares about the Interview with a Vampire connection, simply because it’s another vampire movie. How about “from Academy Award winner Neil Jordan, writer and director of “The Crying Game”?
Whoever wrote this is pretty out of touch with the public. Interview with a Vampire is fondly rememebered and viewed as one of the good vampire flicks. Most people into supernatural genre have seen it. The Company of Wolves and The Borgias on the other hand most people have no clue what the heck those two are. Maybe they are favorites of someone working at Deadline. The filmakers for Byzantium obviously have a better clue as to what will appeal to the public than you guys.
Yeah. I have to agree here, “deadline team.” Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I have to say it came off rather snotty and pretentious labeling the film as a misadventure.
I for one LOVE Interview With The Vampire. I watch it once a year and to this day it remains one of my favorite vampire movies. Many of my friends feel the same way.
Have to say I am delighted by the comments to this article calling interview with the vampire a misadventure. It still remains one of my favourite vampire flicks and I believe one of Tom Cruises finest performances but as somebody else has pointed out its cool to dislike anything Tom Cruise these days.
