The vampire horror comedy Slayers, starring Thomas Jane (The Punisher 2004) and Abigail Breslin (Zombieland) is getting a theatrical, digital, and VOD release just in time for Halloween – on October 21st, to be exact. In anticipation of the release, a red band trailer for Slayers has arrived online, and you can check it out in the embed above!
Directed by K. Asher Levin from a screenplay Levin wrote with Zack Imbrogno, Slayers finds Jane in the role of
kick-ass vampire slayer Elliot Jones, who has made it his life’s mission to take revenge on the bloodsuckers who murdered his teenage daughter. After years of tracking them, he has finally reached their secret and hidden base. But to get to them he will need to use a motley crew of social media superstars. Enter ‘The Stream Team’: party-girl Jules, gen-z pro-gamer Flynn, and their team of trend-makers and breakers! With a hundred million-plus combined followers, they have attracted the attention of reclusive billionaire Beverly Rektor, who invites them to party at her multimillion-dollar vacation compound. They soon discover these rich people are none other than the ancient vampires that Elliot Jones is chasing. When the team is being held captive in a house of horrors to serve the vampires plan to take over the world, Elliott is their only hope of survival. As he links up with Flynn, a slayer in her own right, will he take down the vampire hoard and save The Stream Team?
Breslin is playing Jules. She and Jane are joined in the cast by Kara Hayward (The Shadow Diaries) as Flynn, Malin Akerman (Billions) as Beverly Rektor, and Lydia Hearst (Cabin Fever 3: Patient Zero) as a character named Liz.
Levin and Breslin produced Slayers with Daniel Cummings and Robert Dean. BondIt Media Capital & Buffalo 8 Productions’ Grady Craig, Matthew Helderman, and Luke Taylor serve as executive producers alongside Akerman, Jarnell Stokes, Josh Monkarsh, Walk Like A Duck, and Jane (through his company Renegade Films).
I have been looking forward to Slayers ever since it was first announced (back when it was going by the title With Teeth), so I will definitely be watching it this October. What did you think of the Slayers trailer? Will you be watching this movie? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
