First Look at Alicia Silverstone in Vamps!

How sweet is this pic of Krysten Ritter and Alicia Silverstone with their hair in curlers? Don’t you love the pinups of Michael J. Fox and “The Fonz” on the bedroom wall? They look like they might be getting ready for a teen-age slumber party. (Never mind that the actresses are 29 and 34 respectively.) Would you believe those two angelic looking girls are VAMPIRES? Ritter and Silverstone are starring in Vamps, Amy Heckerling’s ‘vampiric rom-com’ (ya know, those words just don’t appear in the same sentence enough) due out next year.
The story is as follows: Goody (Silverstone) and Stacy (Ritter) are modern girls who happen to be vampires, living it up in New York City. Their ‘lifestyle’ and their secret identities are threatened when one of them falls in love. From the stills, I’m gonna guess it’s Stacy. I’ve read this film described as both a comedic horror movie and a rom-com about vampires, so there’s no telling if we’ll get another American Werewolf in London or Love at First Bite. Again, just going by the pics, I’ll roll the dice and say Vamps is more in line with the latter. (Both of those are excellent by the way. If you haven’t seen them…TO THE QUEUE!) Amy Heckerling brought us both Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless, so there is reason to expect something better than the norm here.
I’m not exactly sure what’s going on in some of those stills, but Richard Lewis has looked like a vampire for quite some time. The rest of the sick cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Malcolm McDowell, Kristen Johnston, Wallace Shawn, Justin Kirk, Marilu Henner and Dan Stevens (from “Downton Abbey” – SKWEEEEL).
