"Magic Mike" Meets "Buffy" in "Vampire Strippers Must Die!"
If Magic Mike XXL was a disappointment (they should have shelved the script and gone in a different direction), there's good news! The upcoming Vampire Strippers Must Die! hopes to bring us the stripper epic we've been waiting for.
"The Chippendales, they're not...
While the Chips perform in London, Paris, and Milan, the men of OVERNIGHT MALE are stuck playing low rent beer bars in Bulgaria. And after six weeks on tour, everyone is getting cranky. The straight strippers and the gay strippers are ready to kill each other, and the only thing holding the group together is their geeky and resourceful tour manager, Jake. No matter what Eastern Europe throws at them, Jake's been able to handle it: aggressive fans, thieving bar owners, broken buses, and even the occasional need for bail money.
Vampires, though? That's a new one...
Vampire Strippers Must Die! is a zany comedy about a group of American male strippers on tour in Eastern Europe who are forced to battle an army of bloodsucking undead. It features great dance numbers, epic fight scenes, and lots of funny character moments."
Writer/director Keith Hartman (Real Heroes, You Should Meet My Son!) has set up an IndieGoGo campaign to help fund the finished product, and explains that the movie is more than just eye candy.
"But this movie is about more than just hot boys and vampires. There's a great story, with fun plot twists, memorable characters, and meaningful relationships. There's a lonely vampire hunter who's never gotten over his high school boyfriend. A female vampire who's been in a bad relationship for three hundred years and then suddenly discovers Dr. Phil. And a pair of twin brothers who strip together but compete over everything. In fact, the script for Vampire Strippers Must Die! won first place at the New York Gay & Lesbian Film Festival's screenplay competition."
If it actually has gay strippers, it's already got Magic Mike beat.
