Shadowless (aka Teni Net)
“Vampires have become a substitute for fairy tales that adults couldn’t tell themselves anymore. Vampires are dangerous and sexy and powerful and they have what humans want—immortality,” William Patrick Day, a film expert and researcher, explains a vampire craze.
Nowadays vampires represent the hottest trend in the film distribution segment thanks to a buzz title Twilight released in November 2008.
In the mean time Yuri Sapronov, Russian World Studios CEO, has no doubts about positive outcome. By the way, Shadowless is not the only mystery production by RWS. A whole slate of projects of this genre has been shaped. “The subject of vampires and of mystery in general is incredibly sought-after today. Our studio was one of the first Russian companies to engage in this genre, singling it out as a separate priority activity,” Yuri Sapronov says.
