I hope they do well with their telling of this old story. Just have to wait and see. Stories about Cain being the first vampire are as old as the hills.

Blame Lilith, not Yaweh. This will be the Book of Nod Lite™ and will reek of the over-accessibility that I Am Legend with its tacked-on spiritually optimistic ending brought to the cinema.

Though I do hope it's better then the re-telling/movie of I Am Legend, as that was VERY different from the original story.

Yahweh "curses" Cain with vampirism, thereby condemning innocents to suffer at the hands of vampires? Who is really getting cursed here? It is even more nuts than some of the doctrinal stuff people believe. It is insanely bad. Yahweh “curses” Cain with vampirism, thereby condemning innocents to suffer at the hands of vampires?

That's my worry. I’m not familiar with Vampire: The Masquerade, but do you see this particular movie playing out like that or I Am Legend with the addition of Smith?

Not only that, you don't really want to be hokey when touching a religion as well-believed by many an American. Not saying to run from controversy, just saying this seems like a sacrifice for such a small payoff. Im all for not suppressing ideas and thought, but this is kinda hokey.

It's not that strange a mix really - the Vampire: The Masquerade telling of the story made a nice kind of sense, vampirism being the 'mark of Cain' laid down as a curse by Yahweh in addition to lots of other little biblical details. In fact the Cain and Abel story is ripe for reinterpretation in all sorts of ways - just look at Command & Conquer or the Sandman comics. Yeah, White Wolf must be going spare.
