Given that this live-action remake of anime Blood: The Last Vampire concerns a sword-wielding, half-vampire scholgirl, we've already decided that it'll be brilliant. Gianna Jun stars as said strange teen Saya, who works as an assassin for a clandestine government agency. Her latest mission is to take out a vampire matriarch. It'll be an adrenaline-charged, hi-octane gore-fest. Enjoy this super-exclusive trailer we've bagged for you!
On the surface, Saya is a
stunning 17-year-old, but that youthful exterior hides the tormented
soul of a 400-year-old “halfling.” Born to a human father and a vampire
mother, she has for centuries been a loner obsessed with using her
samurai skills to rid the world of vampires, all the while knowing that
she herself can survive only on blood like those she hunts.
When she is sent onto an American military base in Tokyo by the
clandestine organization she works for, Saya immediately senses that
this may be her opportunity to finally destroy Onigen, the evil
matriarch of all vampires. Using her superhman strength and her sword,
she begins to rid the base of its evil infestation in a series of
spectacular and elaborate showdowns. However, it is not until she forms
her first human friendship in centuries with the young daughter of the
base’s general that Saya learns that her greatest power over Onigen may
well be her ability for human connection…
