A few years back, Plaza directed a 50-second faux teaser for a vampire film called Damned Friday (Maldito Viernes), which spawned a comic book and had many fans begging for a feature.
As reported by Variety, Plaza will indeed be directing a feature-length expansion on the teaser, which begins filming this coming July over in Spain.
REC 3‘s Leticia Dolera will star as a young woman who struggles with her family and boyfriend before becoming a vampire.
The Spanish-language film is set to be shot in color, with Adrian Guerra attached as producer.
“I’ve shot a werewolf movie, a bunch of zombie films, but as a horror film fan, I felt I really wanted to shoot a vampire film,” says Plaza. “There’s only one thing I can say for sure: There will be blood.”
Check out the original faux teaser below, which gives you a taste of what you can expect from Plaza’s foray into bloodsucking horrors!
