The hipster horror-comedy SUMMER OF BLOOD from writer-director Onur Tukel has been acquired by MPI Media Group after debuting at last month’s Tribeca Film Festival, according to Deadline. MPI’s Dark Sky Films will debut the pic, described as “Curb Your Enthusiasm meets True Blood" later this year.
Tukel also stars in the indie as…
Erik Sparrow, a selfish, schlubby NYC hipster whose miserable life turns around when he meets a vampire in Brooklyn and becomes a blood-sucker himself.
SUMMER OF BLOOD opened Tribeca’s Viewpoints Section and also stars Anna Margaret Hollyman, Dakota Goldhor, Dustin Guy, Melodie Sisk, and Jason Selvig.
So when can we celebrate a SUMMER OF BLOOD? Not this summer, unfortunately. We'll have to wait a little bit longer as Dark Sky is planning a Fall 2014 theatrical run and DVD/VOD release. Hopefully the wait will be worth it.
