New Teaser Trailer For Guillermo Del Toro’s The Strain

You may remember this found footage teaser for The Strain, a television program slated for release later this year based on a trilogy of vampire novels by Chuck Hogan.

If you don’t, let me bring you up to speed: the CDC is investigating a viral outbreak that seems suspiciously like vampirism. Newsflash: it is. Fortunately, none of the vampires seem to sparkle or mope. Instead, this 13 episode run will focus on Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) and his medical investigators, as well as a former professor and survivor of the Holocaust named Abraham Setrakian (John Hurt!), who knows the real score about what is going down in New York City.

A new teaser for the show has been released. While it doesn’t really give us any more information about the program, it does at least narrow the release down to “Summer”. Thank god. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with myself once Dracula and The Vampire Diaries wrap for the season. Or Hulu shits the bed and I can’t watch reruns of Forever Knight, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, or Angel. Or my DVD player breaks and…well, you get my point. But, hey, it’s Del Toro. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. He must have learned something since Blade 2.

Check out the new teaser, after the jump.
