Synopsis – “Vampire Penance – The Atonement of John Wolf”

“Vampire Penance – The Atonement of John Wolf” begins with the historic crucifixion of Jesus by Roman Centurion Longinus. Flash forward to 2005, a stormy night awakens a young girl amidst mysterious growls. In present day, Irish vampire slayer Killian encounters local girl Billie at a biker bar, leading to a clash with vampires. They’re joined by Professor John Wolf, who saves a dying vampire from attackers led by Niles, King of the Vampires.

United by revenge and redemption, John, Killian, and Billie uncover a Devil’s plot involving the ancient Lance of Destiny aimed at destroying humanity. A prequel reveals the origin of the vampire curse tied to Longinus and Devil’s schemes.

In the sequel, the trio heads to Ireland, confronting Niles Dark and uncovering a conspiracy involving Valimer’s vampires and a Church faction. Battling demonic forces and the Devil, they ally with Niles to prevent the Lance’s catastrophic power and save humanity.

Each candidate was scrutinized to ensure they embodied the essence of a vampire convincingly, capturing the allure, mystique, and intensity required for the role. These screen tests were essential in selecting the perfect performers to bring the vampires of Polestar’s vision to life on the silver screen.

During our rigorous screen tests to select lead actors for their vampire roles we recorded the process. The behind-the-scenes video offers insight into the meticulous selection process, ensuring the chosen actors embody the allure and intensity of vampires for Polestar’s cinematic vision.
