Zombies, the New Vampires?

With Daybreakers, starring Ethan Hawke, out this week and Eclipse, the next installment in the Twilight saga, due in June, vampires still have their fangs sunk firmly into the throat of pop culture. But we can't help thinking the whole bloodsucker thing is a little 2009. Who will fill the undead void? Zombies. Natalie Portman has signed on to play Elizabeth Bennet in the movie of Seth Grahame-Smith's Jane Austen mash-up Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Diablo Cody, meanwhile, is taking S.G. Browne's Breathers: A Zombie's Lament to the big screen. No word on casting, but we'd love to see Megan Fox (who starred in Cody's first foray into true gore, Jennifer's Body) go head to head with Portman in a living-dead box-office showdown sometime in 2011.

BIG LOVE PREMIERES SUNDAY!!!!!



If ChloĆ« Sevigny's prairie chic is part of what keeps us tuning into Big Love week after week, it's fitting that the original beauty queen of the badlands—Sissy Spacek—will be guest-starring this season as a Washington lobbyist with a multi-episode arc. Spacek's endorsement of the HBO drama, plus the Golden Globe noms it racked up this year—best drama television series, best-actor and -supporting-actress nods for Bill Paxton and Sevigny—means polygamy might finally get the respect it deserves.

Big Love, season 4, premieres Sunday, January 10, at 9 p.m. on HBO
