Personally what I value most in The Strain (in Greek issued as a trilogy


A few months before the start of the first season of The Strain, the new TV series based on the eponymous trilogy novels 49chronou director, I had the 'brilliant' idea to read them all again. Mega wrong.
'I woke up the next morning and I came to vomit. Something that has never happen to me again "once said a veteran journalist director of Pacific food photography props Rim having just read the previous night, the first volume of the books; -also based on the graphic novels.
After all the same, a sense THIN-nausea, I felt too. But in a good way. That you get when you read something that escapes from the golden mediocrity and forces you to see things from a different perspective.
You see these monsters of The Strain, the asexual (ed their genitals fall during food photography props metamorphosis) ie vampires with the huge trunk, jaws opened wide as the snake, immunity to crucifixes and garlic and insatiable available to turn the entire planet into 'children their joy' (starting, as usual, from Manhattan), Guillermo seems to love them too.
For this and the first time sat down to write them had the intention to turn it into a television series. Just to have all of us a chance to see characters like that of the alcoholic epidemiologist Dr. Ephraim Goodweather food photography props and his team (a former academic, Holocaust survivors and a pest eliminator)
For this and wait until the time is appropriate proposal (this from FX) that would allow him to stretch the -akros tromaktiki- story of the fall of mankind and the rise of vampire food photography props in just four seasons. Neither more nor less.
That is why I, like everyone (and we are many) worship imagination Del Toro as something inexhaustible and almost 'atrocious' magic, I expect and how to get Julius to start to run series.
But, even if he insists will actively participate throughout the season (he has directed the pilot and has been involved in each scenario of the first season), it is completely different feeling of reading books again.
It is no coincidence that when asked by Sean Austin (see Samwise food photography props Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings), which also will play in a row, on the first thing he said is that while reading other scenarios simply skips pages, here the cut blood from the description of how the vampire sucks the blood from the victim.
Personally what I value most in The Strain (in Greek issued as a trilogy 'The Trace' with the other books to be called 'The Fall' and 'The Night Eternal', respectively) is the total lack of melodrama and eroticism type Twilight and Vampire Diaries. And the fact that it is the megalomania of influential people (who perceive vampirism as power) that bring our end.
While, as a father, do not leave any indifferent (SPOILER ALERT) the fact that the former wife of the protagonist turns into creature of the night thirsty food photography props for blood and threatens food photography props to take his son with her to the dark side.
At the end of the day the trilogy The Strain is a novel that forces you to bleed your hands from the swiftness with which you turn the pages, full of twists and 'bumps' in the street. Another exciting journey that no one, apart from Del Toro, could not steer with such virtuosity.
