What in the name of Vlad Dracul is going on?
Suddenly, it’s vampires 24/7. First, Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling “Twiligh
t” series is an instant 2008 blockbuster with two sequels already announced (the first follow-up, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” opens Nov. 20).
Then, “True Blood” (2008), featuring Anna Paquin as vampire-loving waitress Sookie Stackhouse, becomes a ratings magnet on HBO. Then Guillermo del Toro co-writes and publishes “The Strain,” a novel about vampires ravaging New York City.
It’s popcorn, garlic and holy water at the arthouse, too, where the Swedish supernatural thriller “Let the Right One In” was a 2008 sleeper hit (an inevitable American version is in the works). On July 10, “Blood: The Last Vampire” arrives in area theaters. A live-action version of a 48-minute 2000 Japanese anime, the film tells the “Blade”-like tale of a “halfling” girl sent to root out a vampire demon at a military school. This summer, we’ll also see “Thirst” (July 31), a South Korean drama about a priest who becomes a vampire after a botched medical procedure; it’s from the renegade auteur Chan-wook Park.

They need to get smart and take their ideas from the books of JR Ward, Christine Feehan and Sherrilyn Kenyon. The flicks you've listed don't interest me at all, but films based on any one of these three ladies books would have me drooling in anticipation.
Marilyn you will have to post over on the Boston Herald site to suggest something to the authors of the article ..they won't see it here.
