On-set images of Gemma Arterton in Byzantium

To date in her own career, Gemma Arterton has performed lots of upper-class special gems such as Tamara Drewe and Quantum Of Solace, but so far as we all know, she has not received the opportunity to rupture many arterial blood vessels together with her bare teeth.That's soon to alter however, as Neil Jordan's vampire flick Byzantium might find Arterton flex her bloodletting muscles like a toothy creature from the evening.And in the looks from the latest on-set pictures in the film's Dublin-based shoot, Jordan certainly is not skimping around the splatter front. Indeed, we barely recognised Miss Arterton from behind that crimson mask!The film sees Arterton star alongside Saiorse Ronan like a mother and daughter team of vampires of the underworld, who from time to time pose as siblings once the situation calls for this. Away from home for murder, the happy couple make an effort to lie lower in an British seaside town, however it soon becomes obvious it is not only the human government bodies who're after them...It may sound quite a fascinating premise to us, with Arterton's character fatigued by a lot more than two centuries of existence, and torn between the necessity to safeguard Ronan and her desire to finally settle lower. Byzantium is pencilled directly into arrive Stateside later this season, having a United kingdom release date not yet been confirmed.
