Hollywood Wants to Ride With Darksiders ?
4 hours ago
This has horror potential. After all, it's set during the apocalypse. It seems the upcoming video game Darksiders is exploring its options in other mediums. Vigil's Joe Madureira (creative director, comic book vet) told VG247: "We've gotten some interest from Hollywood, we've talked about doing a comic series. At least a couple of those things have to happen, I'm sure." A comic book seems more realistic. A film? That might be a big undertaking. You see, the game is set in the wake of the apocalypse. You play one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse - War - who traverses across a scorched earth. So this tale sounds rather expensive to pull off. Darksiders hit stores yesterday. »

Interview: Daybreakers ' Ethan Hawke
4 January 2010
More coverage from Daybreakers : Interview #1: The Spierig Brothers | Interview #2: The Spierig Brothers Ethan Hawke's never done a horror film before and judging from our conversation with him about Daybreakers , there remains in him a palpable enthusiasm for the picture. Let me elaborate. All too often when actors make the leap out of their comfort zone (be it dramas, comedies, etc.) and into horror, they try to put an arrogant spin on their decision for doing so, painting the project they're starring in as something perhaps not "genre" at all. Not Hawke. In spite of his hesitation to work with Australian directors Michael and Peter Spierig, the actor - who has starred in such films as Before Sunrise , its sequel Before Sunset , Training Day and Gattaca »
