Ethan Hawke joins DayBreakers

Ethan Hawke has just joined the cast of DayBreakers according to the Hollywood Reporter. Peter and Michael Spierig mad their directorial debut with their celebrated zombie flick Undead. Now they plan to bring the tale of two vampire brothers to the big screen. In their sophmore effort they have enrolled the talent of special FX team WETA to do some nice concept art for the film which you can see below.

The synopsis for the film is as follows: Vampirism has spread like a plague in ten short years and only 5% of the population remains human, an endangered species being hunted and farmed for their precious life-source. Two brothers, one who believes in the Vampire Cause, and the other who still mourns his lost humanity, are on opposing sides of the fight. The two must ultimately face-off in a deathly struggle that brings the key to saving the human race and salvation to a dying vampire population.
