It was only a few days ago that IFC announced the acquisition of WE ARE THE NIGHT. Now they have released a U.S. trailer for the German flick. The trailer is dubbed in English, but I’d personally prefer subtiltes over dubbing. In any event, you can watch it below.
The vampire film is directed by Dennis Gansel, who co-wrote the script with Jan Berger. It stars Karoline Herfurth, Nina Hoss, Anna Fischer, Jennifer Ulrich (below) and Max Riemelt. The film will be available on video-on-demand on May 25 before playing at the ReRun Theater in New York City on May 27.
WE ARE THE NIGHT is an edgy tale of a provocative gang of female vampires living large, making their own rules and leaving a merciless trail of blood. The film centers on a 20-year-old Berlin native Lena who gets by as a petty thief. On one of her nightly job runs through an underground club, she meets 250-year-old Louise. Don’t let her age fool you. Louise is a glamorous vixen, who is not only the owner of the club, but also the leader of an unusual all-female vampire trio – the other two members being wild child Nora and elegant Charlotte. Louise falls head over heels in love with the scruffy Lena and bites her during their first night together. Once bitten, Lena discovers the curse and the blessing of her new, eternal life. She revels in the glamour, parties and infinite freedom. But she quickly discovers that the endless blood thirst and murderous appetite of her new girlfriends come at a steep price. When Berlin police commissioner Tom Serner begins investigating the women, it is just a matter of time before their day comes and events spiral out of control.
