It may not be the biggest movie under the sun, but Clueless director Amy Heckerling reuniting with Alicial Silverstone is kind of interesting, especially as the cast also includes Kristen Ritter and Sigourney Weaver.
The movie is about two freewheeling female vampires (Ritter and Silverstone) who are living the New York highlife, until love comes along and make them rethink their immortality. We’ve included a far longer plot description from the film’s Facebook page at the bottom of this post, which suggest there may me a lot more to this film that it might first appear. It’s certainly an intriguing one.
Now the first stills from the flick has arrived, so take a look at them above and below. No UK release date has yet been set. (Source: /Film)
Plot Outline: When two sexy female vampires living it up in modern-day New York City each falls in love with a human, they must make a choice that will jeopardize their immortalityand maybe much more. Written and directed by Amy Heckerling (Clueless, Fast Times at Ridgemont High), VAMPS is a comedy-fantasy-romance that puts a fresh and hilariously upbeat twist on the vampire genre.
Stacy and Goody are a pair of typical attractive New York 20-somethings. They enjoy clubbing, dating, instant messaging and Facebook. But theres one big difference: Theyre vampires. Not the old dark and gloomy kind, but a new, upbeat and politically correct breed that prefers to be called ELFs (Extended Life Forms) and attends twelve-step Sanguines Anonymous meetings to help them curb any temptation to feed on human blood. They shun the V-word but not the superhuman abilities that come with vampirism, using them not only to achieve personal ends but also to do some good in the world.
When night falls, the roommates wake up in their coffins in their Greenwich Village apartment and go out on the town, to night school, or to their graveyard-shift jobs. But their modern lifestyle is dogged by shadows from the past. As they traverse the city, it becomes a living history book for the older and wiser Goody, whose real age is close to 200. The streets turn to cobblestones, skyscrapers transform into older, smaller structures, and long-dead generations of New Yorkers parade before her. Goody has seen it all, and over the years has developed a passion for activism, from protesting the Civil War to marching with workers during the Industrial Age.
The pairs destiny is set on a new course when love steals into each of their lives. Stacy meets JOEY, a geeky classmate with whom she begins a passionate text-messaging romance. And the eternally youthful Goody re-encounters DANNY, a now-married old flame60 years old, to be exactwhom she first met decades earlier at a demonstration. Still an activist, Danny was her one true love.
But even in love, the women must overcome obstacles set in motion long ago. Stacy learns that Joeys last name is Van Helsing, and the name is no coincidence. Joeys parents, like their legendary namesake, are expert vampire hunters waging the age-old battle against her kind. And despite their enduring mutual attraction, Goody is forced to hide her true identity from Danny, who reserves his deepest affections for his ailing wife. Worse, the New York authorities have launched a program to clamp down on the vampire community by flushing them out during daylight hours.
When Stacy becomes pregnant, the stage is set for a final reckoning with history. If Stacy wants to stay with Joey and see their unborn child survive, she and Goody must join forces with the Van Helsings to kill the bloodthirsty CISSERUSthe ancient stem vampire who turned them into creatures of the night in the first place. Doing so could require the ultimate sacrifice for both women, but Goody is determined that they liveor dieby her long-held credo: Sometimes it seems so impossible to make anything good happen, but I guess you have to keep trying.
