IFC grabs “Interview with the Vampire” helmer’s "Byzantium" September 12, 2012 - 16:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - IFC Films is sinking its teeth into "Byzantium" grabbing North American rights to the vampire tale, TheWrap said, citing Deadline. The sales price was not disclosed. "Byzantium" finds director Neil Jordan returning to the fangs-and-blood terrain he previously mined in 1994's "Interview With the Vampire." In place of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise mooning about lifelessly, Jordan's latest is a female-centric vampire story, starring Gemma Arterton ("Quantum of Solace") and Saoirse Ronan ("Atonement") as blood-suckers who sink their incisors into various necks over a 200-year span.
