Back in 2009, the German-Australian sibling duo of Peter Spierig and Michael Spierig, a.k.a. The Spierig Brothers, brought us the sci-fi action horror vampire film Daybreakers – and now, the Australia-based company Umbrella Home Entertainment is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the film by giving it a 4K and Blu-ray collector’s edition release! Copies are available for purchase at THIS LINK.
The plot the Spierig Brothers crafted for Daybreakers has the following synopsis: Ten years after a plague turns most of the world’s population into vampires, a critical blood shortage causes panic and gruesome mutations among the reanimated. Edward, a vampire hematologist, tries to develop a blood substitute when he meets Lionel and Audrey, two fugitive humans who claim to have a possible cure. Edward casts his lot with them in the hope of perfecting the cure before it’s too late.
The film stars Ethan Hawke as Edward, Willem Dafoe as Lionel, and Claudia Karvan as Audrey. They’re joined in the cast by Sam Neill, Michael Dorman, Isabel Lucas, Vince Colosimo, Jay Laga’aia, and Renai Caruso.

I have always intended to get around to watching Daybreakers, since I’m a fan of several of the people who worked on it, but I still haven’t seen it, 15 years later. I should finally watch it one of these days.
