One matter the Daybreakers directors love , and excel at , is world - building . And we ’ve got the exclusive update on the new worlds they ’re building , including Warner Bros. ’ space - literary pirate reboot ofCaptain Blood , and another mysterious 1940s alternative - history film .
While chatting about the vampire worldthe Spierig brotherscreated , they shared updates on their next two in - the - works science fiction films , including the max on a absorbing new undertaking set in an alternate history during the forties .
Michael Spierig : We ’re cultivate on Captain Blood , at the minute . And that ’s Captain Blood , the original Errol Flynn pirate movie . We ’re taking that and turning it into a space literary pirate movie .
Where ’s that task at , are you speculating on cast yet ?
Michael Spierig : That ’s about all we can say you . No , we ’re still grow the script with Warner Brothers at the moment , we ’ve got a first bill of exchange of it and it ’s secure . We ’re still work on it . It might still be a while before it goes into output , if it go into production at all .
What can we look a gritty Firefly crew in space or the bigStar Trekmore action mechanism dangerous undertaking type ?
Peter Spierig : It ’s decidedly action adventure . It ’s more Star Trek . But I did like Firefly quite a bit .
Are you guy going to do for Captain line of descent what you did with Daybreakers and expend a gross ton of clock time world - building ?
Peter Spierig : Yes , there ’s a lot of that . In science fiction , you have to interpret how it all form . We ’ve been writing a book for a year now that ’s another science - fabrication film as well . It ’s a period film it ’s set for the most part in the 40s . We ’ve spend a raft of clip researching , just an enormous amount of meter . We ’ve almost over - researched , we probably need to put some of the enquiry away and get out of the script for a minute .
Is this a period piece plant in an alternate reality ? Are you search the history , in America , Europe or elsewhere ?
Michael Spierig : It ’s taking elements of history and spinning it , or changing it . Or taking element of story and take , “ what if ? ” Daybreakers is a what if — what if everybody was a vampire ? How would they live ? This is very much a “ what if ” as well , and asks , “ What if this did n’t happen , and this happens instead ? ” Ah , that ’s all I ’m saying .
Captain line sounds like it still has a prospicient ways to go , but we ’re sure Warner Brothers will continue to be concerned with the success of Star Trek and Avatar . Besides , we all could use a little more infinite piracy now and again . We ’re exceedingly concerned in the 1940s alternate story , and we ca n’t wait to see how the events of World War II deform out otherwise this time around .
