Okay, here is a trailer for the upcoming gay film, "Twinklight" and I have to say right off the bat, if the acting/lighting/music/film quality stays like this for the rest of the film, it will SHIT all over the tedious and terribly acted "Twilight" stuff that's been done already in mainstream cinema from Stephanie Meyer's books. Sorry twilight fans, but gay vampires with stars who can act win hands down! I mean, I still haven't got over the fact that in the "New Moon" movie when characters morph into werewolves and their clothes rip off they are clothed again when they change back. That's just bad. What's wrong with showing nudity? Sure, I don't expect full frontal, but my suspension of disbelief goes out the window when the characters morph back fully clothed from beasts. Arghh! I would bet my last dollar that in the movie "Twinklight" there will be plenty of nudity...and rightly so. Vampires are about sex as much as anything and it takes the gay p*orn industry to get it right. Good on 'em!

Now, I have written a vampire novel as part of my Pembroke Eve chronicles. Normally I don't go for vampires, but I have to say, seeing this kind of thing (in the trailer above) and having a crack at writing about them, I have changed my mind. Yes, vampires have been done to death. Yes, they can be terribly cliche. But, and this is a big BUT, if they are done the right way, with something new added to the mix, then yes, there can be life ignited into the tired old trope. My vampires are ones who feed on time energy and do something completely different to draw that from their victims. I won't spoil anything, you'll have to wait for 'Time of the Soul' to be released on June 15th but it will surprise you, I promise :-) I also think that vampires falling in love and showing emotion and caring for their victims is a big part of the revival in popular culture that has been enjoyed of late. Again, a good thing.

So yeah, watch the trailer. Again, maybe not safe to be watching at work. It doesn't show nudity, but there are two young men kissing...you have been warned :-)


P.S. For those of you who don't know what a 'twink' is, it's basically a term used for a gay man 18-21 years of age, skinny or of slight build (some muscles okay) and generally hairless on their bodies.
