Last Blood is probably the only upcoming vampire film that I'm looking forward to, due to the originality of the plot (Though I can think of one other movie that used some similar mechanics. Then again, I hate that bloody hack of a director, and the movie sucked.). 30 Days of Night (barring some aspects of the movie) was also a nice bit of originality.
I'd like to see a TV series based on the Anita Blake novels, only without all the damn erotica. I have a running notion (mostly a comical one) that female writers of vampire fiction inevitably slip into an erotica style.
Crimson is a vampire comic book that I was trying to remember earlier; unfortunately it was canceled a few years ago. It's worth checking out.
As for the little back-and-forth; my only real point is that the good "traditional" vampire movies (as opposed to vampires that are akin to "fast zombies") tend to be made from existing novels. In fact most of the traditional-style ones that I can think of were based on novels, wereas I can't think of any of the other type (the so-called "LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU A THOUSAND VAMPIRES") that was based on a novel. Blade is the closest that I can think of, and that's a really weird/bad example.
Oh, and if I ever have to watch Jon Bon Jovi and "'Eddie Winslow" from Family Values fight vampires again I'm going to have to bite someone.
