Hollywood is set to take a bite out of the current hype surrounding bloodsuckers - 90210 star Matt Lanter will mimic Robert Pattinson in a Twilight spoof.

TV hunk Lanter will tackle the Twilight story in Vampires Suck, which will see him play a "cheesy" version of Pattinson's fang-sporting character Edward Cullen.

But the actor insists the new spin on the teen favourite will be much more racy than the original.

We're adding to the Twilight saga in a fun, quirky way... We're paying homage. It's the greatest form of flattery.

He tells People.com, "I'm naked in the movie. We very closely follow the Twilight saga, so I think anything you might find cheesy about Twilight- which I know sounds really weird - we tackle that.

"You know that famous 'I'm a killer' scene where (Pattinson) is talking about how he's a vampire? We make fun of that, but I pull out a gun and shoot. I'm actually a killer".

But Lanter is sure Pattinson will see the film's funny side "It seems like (Pattinson)'s got a sense of humour.

"We're adding to the Twilight saga in a fun, quirky way... We're paying homage. It's the greatest form of flattery".

It's not the first time Lanter has made a mockery of blockbusters - he starred in 2008 parody Disaster Movie.
