Okay, I'll admit not knowing much about the "Blood: The Last Vampire" other than it seems to be a favorite of anime- and manga-savvy friends of mine. But after seeing how well "Death Note," one of my favorite series, was translated to the live-action medium, I'm willing to give anything a shot.
Samuel Goldwyn Films has released a big batch of images from the upcoming, live-action adaptation of "Blood:The Last Vampire," which stars Gianna Jun as Saya, a 400-year-old, half-vampire assassin on a covert mission in Vietnam-era Japan. Tasked with infiltrating a military school to discover the identity of a hidden demon, Saya has to find out which one of her classmates is the deadly creature preying on humans.
Over at SciFi Wire, they've posted 10 of the images that were released today, but here's a few of the pics that haven't been seen elsewhere yet:
