So anyone else heard about the new live action of Blood? Honestly I'm not the biggest fan of Live Action movies, but this one looks like it may be decent. Any thoughts?

I was reading the summary of it on yahoo and it looks like they pretty much gave the entire movie away. Seems interesting with her being half vampire and yet she goes on a hunting spree to kill them. I'll probably check it out but something tells me it is going to be all fight scenes and little else.
On the surface, Saya is a stunning 16-year old girl, but that youthful exterior hides the tormented soul of a 400 year-old "halfling." Born to a human father and a vampire mother, she has for centuries been a loner, obsessed with using her samurai skills to rid the world of vampires, all the while knowing that she herself can survive only on blood like those she hunts. When she is sent to an American military base in Tokyo by the clandestine organization for whom she works, Saya immediately senses that this may be her opportunity to finally destroy Onigen, the evil patriarch of all vampires. Using her superhuman strength and her sword, she begins to rid the base of its evil infestation in a series of spectacular and elaborate showdowns. However, it is not until she forms her first human friendship in centuries with the young daughter of the base's general that Saya learns her greatest power over Onigen may well be her ability to make a human connection...

EDIT: just found an article about it in Fangoria. The movie is an adaptation/remake from the 2000 anime with the same title. It also has a manga sequel as well as video games, novels and a animated series, Blood+. I am slightly more hopeful for this film since the producer is Bill Kong (Crouching tiger, hidden dragon, House of flying daggers and fearless)
