Occasionally Hollywood cobbles together random members of the A-list to play family members on film, even if their genes obviously come from opposite ends of the earth. If the actors are good enough or if the chemistry is there, sometimes the combo can work, such as Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman as brothers in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead or Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor in Cassandra's Dream. Other times, it stretches credibility, such as Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman in The Darjeeling Limited. My all-time favorite oddball casting is in Sidney Lumet's Family Business (1989), with Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman and Matthew Broderick playing grandfather, father and son. (Huh?) At the same time, there are actor combos out there

There was recently a study published by a couple of bored researchers that claimed Vampires could not exist because if they did, they would have munched through and slurped dry the entire human population by now. That’s fascinating science. These propellerheads fail to take into account the obvious solution to the problem. Human farming. Treat humans like we treat some dairy cows, clamp them on blood sucking machines and pump away. In Daybreakers, Ethan Hawke is a vampire with a conscience. Here’s the official synopsis. Edward Dalton is a researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed the world’s population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race.

It’s a vampire movie, the lead character is named Edward and it arrives in theaters this winter. Um no, not that one. But hey Twilighters… maybe we should keep an eye on this “Daybreakers” movie too, don’t ya think?
Starring Ethan Hawke (as Edward), Willem Dafoe, Sam Neil and “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” breakout Isabel Lucas, “Daybreakers” sounds like a less romantic, bloodier alternative to the “Twilight” craze. Lucas, an Australian native, sat down with MTV recently to spill the beans on the vampire flick’s hot new trailer, and how the flick is aiming to draw new blood out of the crowded genre.
“They’re different vampires; they’re much more classic,” she said of the difference between “Twilight” and her January film, about an Earth in 2019 where a handful of humans struggle for survival ten years after a plague turns much of the population into bloodsuckers.

[Editor's Note: While this review is fairly spoiler-free it does contain lengthy excerpts directly from the screenplay.]
Imagine for a minute, sitting down to watch a film where the gene-perfect world of Gattaca, mixes with the crime free, pristine techno-utopia of Minority Report and throws in some gritty, gun-heavy action set pieces the likes of which we haven't seen since the first Matrix. Sounds like an amazing f#$&king movie doesn't it? Now, image all that science fiction perfection wrapped around a twisted and bloody serial killer mystery featuring the most horrifying and inventive murderer since "John Doe" stalked victims in Se7en. How does that grab you now? Yeah, I thought so. I'd line up for that s#!% too. Screw that, I'd buy that baby on double-disc special edition DVD and throw a party.
So when can we see the film? Unfortunately it's up in the air. In brief, Siphon was a hot script back in 2005 and then went into development hell. We've heard that the

The Hollywood Reporter says that Dimension Films has acquired the rights to An American Werewolf in London from John Landis, who wrote and directed the 1981 classic horror-comedy hybrid.
Landis's movie tells the story of an American tourist who is attacked by a werewolf while backpacking across the United Kingdom. He eventually turns into a werewolf and proceeds to terrorize London. The remake will be produced by Sean Furst and Bryan Furst, who oversaw The Cooler and The Matador and also worked on the upcoming Daybreakers, starring Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, and Isabel Lucas.
No writers or directors have been attached to the project yet, but Dimension hopes to "make an elevated genre picture that will keep the fun comedy elements of the original as it seeks to be relevant to contemporary audiences." Like Twilight's tremendous audience, perhaps?
Here's the trailer for the original:

The whole vampire genre is really coming around. Though I am openly not one for horror in general, I can't help but love the look of Daybreakers. Cool cast, cool visuals, cool story. Nuff said.
Trailer: Daybreakers
Two-time Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed the world's population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out.

Hopefully since Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was such a huge hit we will be seeing a lot more of Isabel Lucas. Seriously I'm getting bored of Megan Fox... Some new blood wouldz be nice. Lucas is in the upcoming and great looking vampire film, Daybreakers, that also stars Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe. Check out the trailer, synopsis, and gallery of Lucas, to remind you of how hot she really is. Fox better watch out! Synopsis: In the year 2019, a plague has transformed most every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind.

With the success of the Twilight Saga vampire movies are popular again, but the upcoming Daybreakers is far removed from a world where humans and vampires fall in love. Instead, vampires have taken over the earth and hunt the remaining humans for food. Only one problem exists: they're running out of humans. Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe star is this offshoot of I Am Legend. The movie doesn't open until January 8, 2010, which should give you plenty of time to digest the following trailer:
