- BYZANTIUM
Byzantium, the upcoming vampire saga from director Neil
Jordan, has released a new image online as well as the first glimpse of an
official synopsis.

| Gemma Arteton & Saoirse Ronan are VAMPIRES in Byzantium |
The new snap shows stars Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan
huddling together in front of what looks like a seafront attraction, looking
less than thrilled with their situation.
The pair are vampires you see, and having fled the scene of
a violent and bloody crime, they’re now looking for refuge at a run-down resort
somewhere on the British coastline.
“Clara (Arterton), ever-practical, sells her body,” says the
official publicity. “She soon meets shy and lonely Noel, who provides a roof
over their heads in his seedy guesthouse, Byzantium. Clara, always looking
towards the future, turns it into a ‘pop-up’ brothel.”
“Meanwhile Eleanor, the eternal schoolgirl, meets Frank, a
kindred spirit who unwittingly prompts her to tell the truth about her life.
She tells him that Clara is her mother; yet Clara is only a few years older.
She says that she was born in 1804; yet she is just sixteen. She confesses that
she must drink human blood to stay alive – and so must her mother. In the
small, quiet town, people start to die.”
