"I believe it's Santa Fe, I'm not quite sure. ... This is actually ... a vampire flick, but with a real western feel to it. So it's kind of a really interesting idea..And it will be a kind of cool thing to be doing that in the desert...You Know what it feels like? It feels almost like a kind of Client Eastwood Unforgiven. That kind of movie. Somebody who's had his day of being at his peak, and now it's past, and yet he's been called to have a bigger test than he's ever had before. So it's ... Unforgiven, Mad Max, but with the feel of The Searchers, you know, the John Wayne movie]. It's a bit difficult to throw all those movies together to give you kind of a feel."
