Earlier this morning we dropped our very own JimmyO's review of Neil Jordan's BYZANTIUM on you (read it HERE), and now we have an EXCLUSIVE clip from the lush vampire tale starring Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan for you to check out below.
We've been keeping close tabs on Jordan's BYZANTIUM for a while, giving you a look at two clips from the film back in late May, which we followed up earlier this month with another fantastic clip that explored one of our favorite elements from vampire lore – how they stay young forever.
Today's clip is a bloody affair, which should be right up your alley…after all, you're on AITH, and we love to spread the red around here!
On the run for murder, two young "sisters" arrive penniless at an English seaside town. Clara is a fiercely modern woman who has her eyes on the future and no time for the past. Teenager Eleanor is shy and innocent. Yet, they both hide the same secrets: They are really mother and daughter, and they are both … vampires!
Eleanor is exhausted by 200 years on the run and desperate to settle down. But little does she know that her mother has been protecting her all of the years from their own kind, "The Brotherhood". To escape them, they must either blend in or continue running away. But just as they think they may have escaped, their past rapidly catches up with them.
Written by Moira Buffini the film stars Gemma Arterton, Saoirse Ronan, Caleb Landry Jones, Danny Mays, Jonny Lee Miller, Tom Hollander, Bradley James, and Sam Riley.
BYZANTIUM hits theaters today and will hit VOD on July 1.
