\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Jonathan Rhys Meyers<\/a>, who a decade ago starred as Dracula for NBC and Sky, is returning to the genre for new movie Pretty Kill Machine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tQuantify, the international sales and distribution company formed by Nu Boyana Studios, Dark Matter Studios, Government Island and Film Forge Media, is launching worldwide sales ahead of the AFM<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is being adapted and directed by Matthew Wilder (Your Name Here). Pic is being produced by David Hillary (Bill & Ted Face the Music) and Yariv Lerner (The Expendables), who also serves as CEO of Nu Boyana Studios, one of Quantify\u2019s founding partners.<\/p>\n

\n\tSet in and around Joshua Tree, California, the film \u201cfollows Vee, a supernatural being who has walked the earth since before recorded history. A vampire \u201cin the vulgate,\u201d she prefers to think of herself as simply \u201ca day drinker\u201d \u2013 drifting between an elegant hotel bar and a mirrored, glass-walled lair in the desert, feeding on blood and, more dangerously, on souls. Her centuries-long existence is thrown into crisis when she falls in love for the first time, a development that threatens to end her eternal reign for good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Tudors and Vikings star Rhys Meyers will play the man Vee falls in love with.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re happy to be taking on Pretty Kill Machine,\u201d said Yariv Lerner at Quantify. \u201cMatthew has built a genuinely sensuous, dangerous world, and with Jonathan anchoring it at the center, we think buyers are going to respond in a big way. We can\u2019t wait to introduce Vee to the market at AFM.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who a decade ago starred as Dracula for NBC and Sky, is returning to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":951362,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[137694,64,63,134,233743,344,518183],"class_list":["post-951361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-afm","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-jonathan-rhys-meyers","tag-movies","tag-pretty-kill-machine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=951361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/951362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=951361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=951361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=951361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
