Reminding me of John Carpenter’s criminally underrated Vampires, AMC+ is loading up to take out a colony of vampires in “Firebite”, which is currently filming in South Australia.
“‘Firebite’ follows two Indigenous Australian hunters, Tyson (Rob Collins) and Shanika (Shantae Barnes-Cowan), on their quest to battle the last colony of vampires in the middle of the South Australian desert.”
Also starring in leading roles are Yael Stone (Orange Is the New Black) and Callan Mulvey (Avengers: End Game), adds SA Film Corp. Warwick Thornton (Samson and Delilah, Sweet Country), who created the series, directs along with Brendan Fletcher (Mad Bastards) and Tony Krawitz (The Tall Man, Dead Europe).
“‘Firebite’ is set in a remote desert mining town, a hive for the last vampire stronghold shipped from Britain to Australia in 1788 by the colonial superpower to eradicate the Indigenous populations. Sheltering from the sun in the underground mines and tunnels that surround the town until the present day, the colony’s numbers and hunger is growing. War is coming. Tyson and Shanika stand vanguard to the war. But what hope does an expertly reckless man full of bravado and a 17-year-old orphan possibly have to defeat these vicious blood-thirsty parasites, when legions of warriors before them have failed?”
The series is comprised of eight, one-hour episodes set to debut on premium US streaming platform AMC+ later this year.
