MORBIUS

ampires, you say? They’re making a comeback in 2020, apparently,. Don’t expect to stray anywhere near the territory of sparkles and quiffs, though. “I was just too damn old, too jaded, too over prepubescent ideas of romance,” Jared Leto admits of skipping the craze in the early ’00s. His teenhood predilection for loftier vamp fiction – Anne Rice, Bram Stoker, , and the original cartoon series (of which he recalls being “pretty transfixed”) – bodes well as he leads this, playing villain Dr Michael Morbius, whose rare blood condition leaves him with a plasma-thirst, a sensitivity to daylight, and heightened speed and healing.
