Vampire movies are extremely overrated these days, particularly because there have been so many of them in the past few years, including the box office hit “The Twilight Saga,” which was an ordeal for anyone else but diehard fans. You’re excused if you don’t feel like watching another vampire film right now, but perhaps you should give “Only Lovers Left Alive” one chance.

Starring Tom Hiddleston as Adam and Tilda Swinton as Eve, but also Mia Wasikowska and Anton Yelchin in supporting roles, this film by Jim Jarmusch (based on a script that he also penned), tells the story of a love that never dies – because the lovers who “star” in it are immortal.

Adam is described as an underground rock star who has become “depressed with the direction humanity has taken.” Eve is his soul mate, the one person without whom he could never be himself.

As it happens, they’re both vampires but, as a new video emerged online (which you will find embedded below) proves, also pretty outstanding dancers. The video first surfaced on YouTube but was yanked shortly after, which probably means it was a leak.

In other words, if you’re into this type of movies and / or are a fan of these superb actors, make sure you check it out before it’s gone.

“Only Lovers Left Alive” will be out in theaters in the US in April 2014. It’s a long wait but I have a hunch that it will be well worth it.
