Swinton set for vampire role

Tilda Swinton is to swap her teeth for fangs for a new vampire film.

The Oscar-winning actress is set to join Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska for a “crypto-vampire love story”, directed by Jim Jarmusch, reports Screen Daily.

“I’ve been imagining this film for years. I can’t wait to now realise it with these remarkable collaborators,” Jim said.

John Hurt will also appear in a role in the as-yet-untitled film, which will start shooting in Germany, Morocco and Detroit in early 2012.
