tv "Lifeforce" Brings Space Vampires To TV

[Rappy Veteran]

 

Ringleader Studios has acquired the rights to produce a television series adaptation of Colin Wilson's 1976 novel "The Space Vampires".

 

The story follows a group of astronauts who discover a derelict spaceship and return to Earth with three humanoid aliens that unleash a life-sucking plague upon humanity.

 

Ringleader is planning a small-screen episodic series along with a graphic novel, video game, and other media tie-ins.

 

The property was previously adapted by Tobe Hooper into the 1985 cult film "Lifeforce" starring Steve Railsback, Patrick Stewart, and Mathilda May.

Just when you thought there couldn't be any more vampires.

Bleh! This stinker should be left where it died. I thought it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, right up there with Millennium. :(

Yea, but that chick was hot. And I was a teenager.

I watched that movie on replay.

[DocM]

Many teenage boys wore out many Lifeforce VHS tapes back in the day ;)

What is this?  I don't even.....

RECAP: astronauts visit a derelict giant spacecraft near Halley's comet. Entering, they discover thousands of dessicated (dried out) bat-like cteatures and 3 naked humanoids (2 male, 1 gorgeous young female) in glass containers (coffins.) Stupidly, they are eventually brought back to Earth and (predictably) all hell breaks loose.

Best parts of the film are Mathilda May's anatomical bits being on uninhibited display :drool:

Omg I loved that movie lol.  The show had better have plenty of nude space vampire or it will fail, though.

[LaP]

Kate Beckinsale would make a great nude space girl.

To this day, I think Mathilda May has my favorite female form. Just goes to show how

early our fetishes/etc are formed. heh

[Shiranui]

There will never be another Mathilda May

[DocM]

She's of Greek, Turk and Swedish ancestry. I fully approve of ttat blend :drool:
