Daybreakers, the Spierig Brothers' new film, imagines a vampire dystopia with bloodsucking captains of industry. Science fiction writer Peter Watts has a similar vision, albeit reversed with a pharmaceutical company engineering vampires for their untapped market potential. What could go wrong?

"Peter Watts narrates his brilliant slideshow that explains vampires from an evolutionary perspective, and then explains how humans can profit by harnessing their predators. Watts brings his experience as a scientist and his talent as a science-fiction writer to bear in creating this biting satire." (via  Jim Munroe at the Cultural Gutter).

Daybreakers screens at TIFF on: Friday September 11, 11:59 - RYERSON / Sunday September 13, 11:59 - SCOTIABANK THEATRE 2.
