Interview: Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig, 'Daybreakers'

from Slackerwood Podcasts Hosted by Jenn Brown

Last fall, I had the opportunity to interview the writer-director team of Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig for their Fantastic Fest premiere of the vampire film Daybreakers. We talked about casting, creature effects and the cost of contact lenses. You can listen to the interview here, but be warned, a few plot points are touched on, so there may be spoilers. For brevity, I had to cut out part of the conversation, including a Emily Hagins love fest. Apparently the Spierig brothers are well aware of Austin's youngest auteur, and they did spend some time talking with her at the Fantastic Fest closing-night party. Daybreakers opens in Austin theaters on Friday, January 8. Keep an eye out for Debbie's review later today.
