"The other project unites the never-before-united talents of Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk, former Hobbit Billy Boyd and Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh.

All three have been in town for the making of Ecstasy, a $5 million screen adaptation of the Scottish writer’s 1996 book... The shoot for the “dark romantic comedy” began in Sault Ste. Marie and continues in Toronto before heading to Scotland next year, where the craft services team will surely keep crew members stuffed with haggis and deep-fried Snickers bars."

Late on this, but I found it in my inbox and I thought it was a bit funny...

"Dear Santa,
This is a list of everything I want for Christmas.

Now, I don’t expect you to bring me everything, but even a few things would make me happy…and pretty freakin’ popular to everyone I know… and around the world!

Christmas is tomorrow…So let’s get to it...

3. KRISTIN KREUK: Santa, buddy, hook me up! She’s my celebrity princess. She could drop dead tomorrow, come back as a zombie, wanna eat me alive and I’d still marry her. Problem is…well…she’s a celeb. I’m not. She’s got a celeb boyfriend. It's not me. So MAYBE you could watch a few Scorsese films, take the guy out with your sleigh, plant a few “You love Matticus” magic beans in her stocking…and I’ll take it from there."

More info of Vampire from Sundance:

"Not all of those amongst us who crave blood are vampires, and not all vampires crave blood. For those of you expecting anything remotely resembling Twilight, Nosferatu, or Bela Lugosi, Vampire may not be your cup of the red elixir of life. . . . Simply put, Vampire gives new meaning to the word "vampire."

Acclaimed Japanese director Iwai Shunji demonstrates that he is a master of cinematic storytelling in any language. Breathtaking, lyrical camera movement and unconventional framing capture beautifully macabre images while the evocative music and sound design complete the sensory tour de force. The terrific ensemble cast stretches out of its comfort zone and syncs up perfectly with Iwai’s dark vision, which explores the essence of existence and what drives some to end it.""

There's an official movie profile of Ecstasy on FACEBOOK and with that profile there's photos and videos. There's only 1 photo of Kristin (the girl in the pink wig isn't Kristin) and one quick video of Kristin sitting in a booth:

"Sinclair plays Lloyd, an aging club-goer and recreational drug user who falls in love with Kristin Kreuk ( Small ville, Eurotrip). As of lunchtime Tuesday, they had shot two scenes together, and Sinclair called it "really refreshing to actually sit down and do stuff with Kristin. You're only as good as the person you're opposite."

By at least one account, the pair was "absolutely fantastic" -- and Irvine Welsh himself should know. Welsh, 52, flew into the Sault on Monday from his Chicago home for a cameo in the film, and said the stars are "both incredibly charismatic and have a great chemistry."

Now that the gallery is working... here's the first photo of Kristin in Vampire:

"That's without mentioning the sizzle Welsh said he felt between Sinclair and Kreuk as filming began this week.

''There's a chemistry between them. It's just very, very electric. You can't really fake that. That chemistry is either there or it isn't.

''These are two very charismatic stars who are really burning up the screen together and I think it will capture the imagination.''"
