Exclusive Video: Ethan Hawke Fights the Daybreakers

6 January 2010 1:42 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Practically everywhere you turn now there are vampires! Whether it's on TV with award winning shows such as HBO's True Blood or on the big screen with films like the ridiculously popular Twilight and it's equally successful sequel The Twilight Saga: New Moon, there just seems to be no getting away from the vampire's bite. Now two-time Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke takes a stab at the vampire genre with his bloody and realistic new film Daybreakers, opening in theaters on January 8th, directed by Peter and Michael Spierig who helmed the hit Zombie film Undead. Hawke, who received his nominations for co-writing Before Sunset and starring opposite Denzel Washington in Training Day, first caught audience's attention with his performance in the film Dead Poets Society but it was his roles in Ben Stiller's Reality Bites and Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise that made him a star. Incidentally, Daybreakers marks »

Ethan Hawke Talks About Another Potential Before Sunset Movie

5 January 2010 2:03 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

In a recent interview with Collider, actor Ethan Hawke talked openly about potentially making another Before Sunset film with director Richard Linklater. In 1995, Hawke starred in a romantic drama called Before Sunrise and followed it up 9 years later with Before Sunset, with the time in the film matching the time passed in real life. It's an interesting concept and I've heard both films are great to see back-to-back, although Before Sunset is supposedly better. But another sequel? Frosty from Collider says he heard from Linklater that "he's [been kicking] around ideas with Julie [Delpy]." What did Hawke have to say about it? "The idea that Before Sunrise would ever be qualified as a franchise is so amusing to me," Hawke admits at first. He goes on to talk about how unbelievable it was that they even made a second film because he thought no one saw the first. "My »

The fun of January movies: Lowered expectations, less hype

4 January 2010 1:27 PM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »

In just a couple of hours, I'm off to a screening of Leap Year, the first major-studio movie to be released this year -- which, if history is any guide, means that I should be in for a lousy time. The first post-holiday weekend in January has traditionally been a dumping ground for inferior product: the low-grade genre films that fill up (if not flush out) the pipes of the system before something better comes along. If a movie were really any good, goes the logic, then it wouldn't be coming out in what is still the thick of the holiday/awards-season juggernaut. »

Ethan Hawke on a 3rd Before Sunrise/Before Sunset Movie

4 January 2010 11:38 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

At this morning’s press junket for Daybreakers, I was able to ask Ethan Hawke his thoughts on doing a third film in the Before Sunrise/Before Sunset universe.  If you’re a fan (like me) of these two amazing movies and are hoping they’d do a third film, it sounds like they aren’t against it, but don’t expect to see it anytime soon.  That’s because even though people constantly give Hawke ideas for the film, he says, “My thought is we will make one as soon as everybody has forgotten about it.”

He also revealed, “We had a version of that movie that happened two years later.  But once it took us five years and we can’t get the money to make that movie we have to rethink it. So elements or lines from that script stayed.  When we first finished Before Sunset there »

The best films of the decade

2 January 2010 8:18 AM, PST | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »

"Synecdoche, New York" is the best film of the decade. It intends no less than to evoke the strategies we use to live our lives. After beginning my first viewing in confusion, I began to glimpse its purpose and by the end was eager to see it again, then once again, and I am not finished. Charlie Kaufman understands how I live my life, and I suppose his own, and I suspect most of us. Faced with the bewildering demands of time, space, emotion, morality, lust, greed, hope, dreams, dreads and faiths, we build compartments in our minds. It is a way of seeming sane.

The mind is a concern in all his screenplays, but in "Synecdoche" (2008), his first film as a director, he makes it his subject, and what huge ambition that demonstrates. He's like a

novelist who wants to get it all into the first book in case he never publishes another. »
