New poster, trailer, sites for the Korean vampire thriller Thirst

New poster, trailer, sites for the Korean vampire thriller \<i\>Thirst\<\/i\>

A new onesheet poster is now live for Thirst, the upcoming vampire thriller movie from Oldboy director Park Chan-wook, and you can see it after the jump.

The movie also has a new Web site, a Twitter page and a red-band trailer.

Here's how Focus Features describes the movie:

Sang-hyun (played by top Korean star Song Kang-ho of The Host) is a priest who cherishes life; so much so that he selflessly volunteers for a secret vaccine development project meant to eradicate a deadly virus. But the virus takes the priest, and a blood transfusion is urgently ordered up for him. The blood he receives is infected, so Sang-hyun lives—but now exists as a vampire. Struggling with his newfound carnal desire for blood, Sang-hyun's faith is further strained when a childhood friend's wife, Tae-ju (Kim Ok-vin), comes to him asking for his help in escaping her life. Sang-hyun soon plunges into a world of sensual pleasures, finding himself on intimate terms with the Seven Deadly Sins.

Thirst opens in select U.S. theaters July 31. (Click on the poster images for a larger version.)

Ive seen the movie, and just so its clear, this isnt an action movie, its not a traditonal vampire movie its more along the lines of a priest struggling with not getting any, only lots and lots of blood, but no action. So more bloody and a little softcore. In the end, the story is pretty cool but way way too long. And its only for people who like vampire stories somewhere on some wierd level of an ann rice novel.
