"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" actress Juliet Landau is aiming to produce "the ultimate vampire insider documentary" with her new project, "A Place Among the Undead".
Landau's film will feature interviews with a Who's Who of the vampire genre - including "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon, Tim Burton and "Dracula" star Gary Oldman, reported Digital Spy.
"It transcends the traditional idea of a documentary - it has interlinking narrative films which are inspired by the conversations," Landau said.
"One of the things that we found fascinating talking with all of the creators is how each of them use the metaphor of vampirism to look at a myriad of elements of the human condition.
"So Joss Whedon uses the metaphor of vampirism in Buffy to explore high-school as a nightmare. Kevin Grevioux created Underworld because of his experiences with inter-racial dating. Tim Burton says Dark Shadows was all about dysfunctional family.
"It gives us so many ways to look at our own natures, and so each of the narrative films is based on a different metaphor," she said.
