New Byzantium clip stays 16 forever

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

While Neil Jordan's vampire tale BYZANTIUM is currently in UK cinemas the film is still a few weeks shy of opening in the States on June 28th so with that we've got another clip for you guys to dig on. The latest clip explores one of my favorite elements behind vampires and how they stay the same age forever. It's a fantastic clip and definitely looks like a great moment in the film.

On the run for murder, two young "sisters" arrive penniless at an English seaside town. Clara is a fiercely modern woman who has her eyes on the future and no time for the past. Teenager Eleanor is shy and innocent. Yet, they both hide the same secrets: They are really mother and daughter, and they are both … vampires!

Eleanor is exhausted by 200 years on the run and desperate to settle down. But little does she know that her mother has been protecting her all of the years from their own kind, "The Brotherhood". To escape them, they must either blend in or continue running away. But just as they think they may have escaped, their past rapidly catches up with them.

Written by Moira Buffini the film stars Gemma Arterton, Saoirse Ronan, Caleb Landry Jones, Danny Mays, Jonny Lee Miller, Tom Hollander, Bradley James, and Sam Riley.
