ʻO ke kaha, ʻO ka hōʻike hou a Guillermo Del Toro ma FX ʻaʻole ia he mea o ka lore vampire maʻamau. Ma ke ʻano maʻamau ʻo Del Toro, lawe ʻo ia i nā vampires a mākou i maʻa ai a hoʻololi iā lākou me kahi holoholona weliweli a me ka biologically believed.

I ka makahiki 2009, ua hui pū ʻo Del Toro me ka mea kākau ʻo Chuck Hogan e kākau i kahi trilogy o nā puke e ʻimi ana i kahi ʻano vampire hou. Ua kapa ʻia nā puke, "The Strain," "The Fall" a me "The Eternal Night." Hoʻopili hohonu kēlā me kēia puke i kahi maʻi maʻi viral i hoʻohuli ai ka poʻe i vampires.

He loli maikaʻi kēia o ka wikiwiki mai nā puke "Twilight" a pau i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i kēlā manawa. ʻAʻole ʻeha kēia mau vampire a ʻaʻole i ʻālohilohi; He maʻi maʻi lākou nona ka manaʻo maoli e hoʻolaha me ka ʻike ʻole ʻia o nā kumuhana ʻē aʻe.

Ua lawe ka mea hana ʻo Carlton Cuse (Lost) a me Del Toro ʻO ke kaha i FX a kūkulu i kahi ʻāpana kala ʻulaʻula o ka ultra-violence i ke kīwī e hana hou i ke ʻano o ko mākou manaʻo e pili ana i nā vampires.

Hoʻokumu ʻo Del Toro i ka moʻo a alakaʻi i ka episode pilot. Akā, ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo ia e hoʻomau ʻo ia i ke komo ʻana i ka wā e hele ai ka moʻo.

"Ua hana au i mea e hoʻomau i ka nānā ʻana i kēlā me kēia o nā hopena, nā hopena make-up, hoʻoponopono kala, a ke manaʻo nei wau ʻo kā mākou pēpē ʻaʻole ʻo Chuck a ʻo Carlton a ʻo wau wale nō. ʻO mākou ʻekolu. Ua like ia me "ʻekolu kāne i loko a me kahi pēpē" no nā vampires, a ke manaʻo nei au he mea nui ia e noho pū me ia ʻano." Wahi a Del Toro.

ʻO ka moʻolelo e pili ana iā Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) o ka CDC a me kahi hui i kapa ʻia ʻo Canary Team nā mea pane wikiwiki i kāhea ʻia e ʻike i nā maʻi ʻino.

I kekahi pō, kū pohihihi ka mokulele mokulele ma ke alahele a hele pōʻeleʻele loa. Hele ʻo Goodweather a me kāna hui e ʻimi kokoke i nā mea a pau i make koe wale nō ʻehā mau mea ola.

Hoʻohui ʻia i kēia pahu kupapaʻu pohihihi 9-kapuaʻi i kālai ʻia i loko o ka pahu ukana i loaʻa kahi mea i hiki ke lilo i kumu o nā make āpau ma ka mokulele a me kahi hapa o ke kiʻi nui.

ʻO ka Master (leo ʻia e Lance Henriksen) he vampire kahiko i ola i nā kenekulia ma ke kālepa ʻana i nā kino i ka wā i luku nui ʻia e ka maʻi. Ua hele mai ʻo ia i New York me kahi hoʻolālā e hoʻololi i ke kaulike ma waena o nā Kanaka a me nā Vampires a hoʻolei i ka honua i kahi hōʻike weliweli maoli.

E like me nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻē aʻe a Del Toro, lawe ʻo ia i kahi ala e hiki ai ke hoʻokō i kona weliweli. I kēia hihia, ua noʻonoʻo ʻo ia i nā vampires haʻahaʻa a me ka Haku i nā kikoʻī nui e hana i kahi mea i manaʻo ʻia he hana i ka honua maoli.

"ʻO ka nui aʻe o ka nalowale ʻana o ko lākou ʻano kanaka ma ka nalo ʻana o ko lākou puʻuwai," wahi a Del Toro e pili ana i nā ʻano o kāna hōʻike hou.

"Ua ʻeha ko lākou puʻuwai e ka puʻuwai vampire a loaʻa iā ia nā hana. He mea koʻikoʻi ia iaʻu no ka mea ʻo ke kukui e alakaʻi i kēia mau vampire i kā lākou poʻe i pepehi ʻia ʻo ke aloha. ʻO ke aloha ka mea e ʻike ai i ka poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia, hele lākou e ʻike i ka poʻe a lākou i aloha nui ai. No laila, huli lākou i ka instinct i ke kanaka maoli i kā lākou hana hānai. A laila, loaʻa ko lākou ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe ʻana a laila hāʻule ko lākou mau ʻōpū a hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia kā lākou ʻōnaehana excretion e like me nā ʻano haʻahaʻa o ke ola e hānai i ke koko. Hoʻokuʻu lākou i ka wā e ʻai ai, i ka hōʻike ʻana e hele mai me ka ʻōpala o ka wai i hoʻomoʻa ʻia i ka ammonia a lākou e kipaku ai i ka wā e hānai ana. Nalo lākou i ko lākou ʻiʻo palupalu e like me ko lākou mau pepeiao a me ka ihu. A hoʻomohala lākou i kahi puka tracheal e hoʻokuʻu i ka wela hou mai kā lākou metabolism kiʻekiʻe. Wahi a Del Toro. ”

"The Strain" like loa me kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni i haki ʻia i nā ʻāpana. ʻAʻohe manaʻo episodic; ʻo ia ka manaʻo o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni a kiʻi hou iā ia i kēia pule aʻe.

"Ua hoʻokokoke mākou i ka hana ʻana i ka hōʻike kīwī me ka nui o nā mea like āu e hana ai ke hana ʻoe i kahi hiʻohiʻona. Mahalo nui mākou iā FX no ke kākoʻo nui ʻana a me ka ʻae ʻana iā mākou i kā mākou kaʻina hana, "wahi a Carlton Cuse, ka mea hana hoʻokō o ka hōʻike.

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo "The Strain" me kahi hopena i hoʻolālā ʻia e haʻalele i ka hana lua hope ʻole kekahi mau hōʻike me ka pau ʻole.

"ʻO kahi ʻāpana o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi home no ka "The Strain" ma FX he hopena i ka noʻonoʻo a hele i loko me kahi kumu hoʻohālike ʻelua-arc," wahi a Del Toro.

Lawe ʻo David Bradley i ka hana a Abraham Setrakian a lilo koke i ʻāpana nui o ka moʻolelo e pāʻani ana i kahi mea pawnshop e lawe ana i kahi pahi huna ma kāna koʻokoʻo. ʻO Setrakian wale nō ka mea i ʻike maoli i nā mea e hana nei a hoʻāʻo e ʻōlelo aku i ka poʻe akā ʻaʻole makaʻu e lawe i nā mea i kona lima ponoʻī.

He hiʻohiʻona piha loa ka "The Strain" e hoʻohui pū i ka cyan a me ka magenta e kōkua i ka hana ʻana i kahi honua kūʻokoʻa. Ua hoʻolālā akamai ʻo Del Toro i ka hoʻolālā kala e pili ana i ke ʻano o kekahi mau kala e nānā i hope.

"E ʻike ʻoe i ka ʻulaʻula o ka hōʻike e pili ana me nā vampires, i kēlā me kēia manawa āu e ʻike ai i ka ʻulaʻula inā he hydrant paha ia a i ʻole he siren makai e ʻike ʻoe ua pili ia i nā vampires. No laila, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kekahi o nā huaʻōlelo e hoʻohuli ʻia i ka mea hoʻokele i kahi ʻulaʻula liʻiliʻi. No laila i ka nānā ʻana, e ʻike ʻoe ua pili lākou i kēlā ao, "wahi a Del Toro.

 

Hoʻomaka ʻo "The Strain" i Iulai 13 ma FX.
