New Line Cinema has optioned feature rights for the role-playing game Vampire: The Requiem from White Wolf Publishing for producer Adam Fields. Variety says the studio is eyeing the property as a potential franchise property.
Kindred: The Embraced was bad because it was badly done, not that any such thing needs to be. Would you condemn all fantasy movies and TV series because of the D&D movie? Or, more specifically, would you condemn all Lord of the Rings media because of those old cartoons? (If you do, you're missing out on a great series of movies by Peter Jackson.)
Also, it was based off of Vampire: The Masquerade. Detractors statements about it being the same game aside, Vampire: The Requiem is looking like it'll be a much better, open-ended setting with fewer stereotypes. Much easier to make a movie out of, in other words.
It's true but there have been so few good vampires movies. Just so few. I can only think of two and one of them I get people disagreeing with me on the quality of it all the time. I'm not saying it couldn't happen. I'm just saying that the odds are against it as far as I can tell.
New Line are the people who could pull it off. I just don't know if they will.
