Vampires and Elves Together in One Movie?! Yes Please!

While scanning IMDB for upcoming vampire films I came across something wonderful! A movie featuring both vampires and elves! The news makes this horror-lovin’ fantasy geek all kinds of happy. The film, titled Of Light and Darkness, is based on the novel of the same name by Shayne Leighton and is set to be released in 2013.

Here’s the plot description:

“When one human stands before an army of impossible obstacles, the likelihood of overcoming them in this coming-of-age modern fairytale may result in war between light and darkness.

Abandoned as an infant in Prague, naive and strong-willed Charlotte Ruzikova was raised by one of the last Vampires left alive. As a human, she knows no other home than the one nestled deep in the woods of Eastern Europe, where Witches drew spells of enchantment, Phasers threw tea parties, and Elves are the closest in kin. Charlotte has lived her life in the dark with her Guardian, content to having him to herself and reveling in his attention, until she’s realizes she wants more…

Resident medical doctor and Vampire, Valek Ruzik fears the day his ward would come of age and blossom into a fine woman, and he is forced to confront his own motives as time is of the essence once his past catches up to him, and their lives become endangered…

As genocide and war threatens their secret society, the dictator in power is ready to wipe out Valek’s race, but Charlotte will not allow that to happen. Fighting for the only one she’s ever loved and truly believed in, she will do whatever it takes to save their love…before the sun comes up and light takes over.”

Sounds pretty interesting. The film is still in pre-production, so there isn’t much news on it just yet. Also, it appears to be a pretty low-budget movie, so chances are it’s not going to be the big magical blockbuster I want. Either way, it has my attention.

For more info check out the Of Light and Darkness website here.

What do you think? Even if it is a low-budget film, do you think you’ll still give it a watch?

  3. I think I’ve seen that book on the shelves before. They described it as “Lord of the Rings meets Buffy The Vampire Slayer”, that is if I’m thinking of the right book.

    The vampire’s name is Valek? That was the name of the master vampire in John Carpenter’s Vampires.

    I think a fantasy story like that cannot be low budget in this day and age. Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

  8. Hey guys, this is Shayne Leighton – the author of “Of Light and Darkness”

    The promo video was ultra-low budget because it was shot to pitch the feature film that is in development, however, the official feature film will not be low budget at all and will be shot in the Czech Republic, where the book takes place. :-)

    We are trying to liken this project to something similar to Pan’s Labyrinth, or films like it. For more information, find us on Facebook:

    Thank you SO MUCH for posting about this and I look forward to having you all join the discussion!

    Best,
    Shayne
