Imogen Poots on Vampires in Hello Darkness
Imogen Poots. We just love saying that name. Say it with us now … Imogen Poots. It’s kind of fun, right? Maybe it’s because “poot” is slang for a slow quiet fart. Who knows? It just makes us giggly. In any event the stench of poots will act as garlic soon in the new upcoming vampire flick Hello Darkness.
The movie, coming from Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, has been described as a “genre-bending, kitchen-sink vampire movie with a potent love triangle at its beating heart” and stars Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots (pictured right), and Julie Christie. Dig on the plot crunch below and look for more soon!
Synopsis
Mark Cooper is an ordinary working-class man who became a vampire. He reached his prime in the early Sixties and, as a result of his conversion, never left it. Eternally young, he is the Angry Young Man preserved in amber. He lives in Newcastle, a town famed for its drunken excess, providing ideal feeding grounds. But the accidental death of a girl ends with a manhunt for a “Vampire Killer.”
Cooper lives with Rachel, his support for almost four decades, in an uneasy role somewhere between wife and mother. Long ago Cooper proposed to convert Rachel, but she chose to grow older while he remains eternally twenty-five. News that he’s a wanted man brings the tension in the house to breaking point.
On the prowl for victims, Cooper meets a beautiful posh student, Lucy. Entranced by her vivacity, he gets his overpowering first taste of blue blood.
But the union between Cooper and Lucy brews trouble; it brings out the staunch territorialism of Rachel and the snobbishness of Lucy’s friends. Meanwhile, the search for the Vampire Killer is intensifying. Cooper is driven into a crisis as he stares bleakly into eternity, and Lucy is forced to choose between the light moneyed world of her peers and the dark working class reality of her lover.
