A lesbian group has launched a petition to halt the production of James Corden's new movie Lesbian Vampire Killers.

Women on the website angrylesbians.biz claimed that Corden's project was "shamelessly catering to men’s girl-on-girl fantasies".

The site complains that the film will depict lesbians as "violent creatures that have to use force and evil to gain their partner".

They add: "These sort of films are not only derogatory to lesbians, but also to women in general."

"They are answering to a stereotypical male fantasy. They are shown as scantly clad lust objects that feast on the blood, lapping it up and smearing it around. They’re porn stars, not persons."

The Gavin & Stacey creator's film is scheduled for release in 2009.
