Ugh. I came across this while costume shopping yesterday. Near dark has been released on blu-ray...which is awesome. But they have 'twilighterized' the cover art. Notice how sparkly the handsome Adrian Pasdar is now...AND he has the amber eyes. The whole image is blatantly ripping off the
Twilight poster. Now I am not a twilight hater...in fact I kind of enjoy them. Call it a guilty pleasure. But I love
Near Dark
. Love it and there is almost nothing sparkley about it. So why they would trick people into thinking they are going to get a pretty vampire love story when they will actually get a gorey-backwoods-outlaw-vampires-in-recreational-vehicles movie is a bit mystifying. However I do chuckle when I imagine how a twi-hard teen would react to
this...

ugh.
It's the people that sit down and say "Hey, I have an idea" and come up with things like this, that need to be kicked out of Hollywood. It's the rest of Hollywood that needs a lobotomy for approving.
Also - blatant in that he is sparkly and she isn't. Even though she is the one that turns him.
At the same time - what I wouldn't give to watch a couple of Twilght Tweeners experiencing the roadhouse scene...
love this film... and i agree with Hainsworth, why isn't the female vamp all twinkly???
this reminds me of how much i TOTALLY HATED the cover art that surfaced for Hackers after Angelina Jolie became a big name in Hollywood. poor Jonny Lee Miller getting cast aside... much like after his split from Angelina :(
