Daybreakers
A brilliant hematologist races to develop a synthetic blood substitute to save humanity from a vampire-ravaged world, while navigating corporate greed and the terrifying rise of blood-starved monsters.
“In 2019, the most precious natural resource... is us.”
Synopsis
In 2019, a plague has turned nearly all humans into vampires. As the dominant race struggles with a dwindling blood supply, they scheme to secure their survival. At the same time, a researcher collaborates with a secret group of vampires to find a way to save humankind.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
