Blood: The Last Vampire is 2009 live-action remake of the 2000 anime horror film Blood: The Last Vampire. Originally slated to be released worldwide in spring 2008, the film premiered in Japan on May 29, 2009 under the title Last Blood, and was released in the United Kingdom on June 26, 2009. Sony Pictures licensed the film for release in North America, where it will be released to theaters by Samuel Goldwyn Films on July 10, 2009. Directed by Chris Nahon and co-produced by Edko and Pathé, the film focuses on a half-human, half-vampire girl named Saya who hunts full-blooded vampires in partnership with humans and seeks to destroy Onigen, the most powerful of vampires.
In May 2006, Bill Kong announced that he was producing a live-action film adaptation of Blood: The Last Vampire, directed by Ronny Yu. Like the source anime, it would be primarily filmed in English rather than Japanese. Kong and Yu originally planned to finance the project themselves, but in November 2006, Production I.G officially consented to the film and began offering financial support. Rather than being paid a straight license, Production I.G will receive a percentage of all revenues generated by the film. Through ties to Manga Entertainment, the French company Pathé became the film’s co-production company, joining the Hong Kong-based Edko. Yu was retained as its producer, but Chris Nahon took over as the film’s director.
South Korean actress Jun Ji-hyun, who adopted the English screen name Gianna Jun for the release, plays the role of Saya.
In early announcements, it was stated that the film would be set in 1948 at a United States Army camp in Tokyo, shortly after the conclusion of World War II during the American occupation of Japan. During production, the film was shifted to be set in the 1970s instead.
