Way back in 2001 New Line Cinema bought Jim Jennewein and Tom S. Parker’s vampire spec script.  Now Kalogridis, an executive producer and writer on the new Bionic Woman series, has been hired as part of a "major overhaul" of the project.  No director has yet been attached.

The episodes of Bionic Woman that have aired to date show that this move could in fact be a good fit in terms of sensibility.  The NBC hit is one of the latest works in a genre-blend that might best be described as "dark-action" and that appears to be heavily influenced by video games.

Darksiders concerns vampires who team up with an FBI agent to bring down a weapons dealer.

Will horror fans take to this movie?  It’s hard to say and, to New Line, perhaps irrelevant.  After all, Darksiders sounds like it follows the anti-hero/action-hero approach to vampirism that has been quite popular with mainstream audiences over the last decade.  In this treatment of the vampire archetype, the Stokerish tendency to specify the creatures' powers and weaknesses is taken to a superhero-like extreme and becomes their defining aspect.  Examples include the Blade and Underworld pictures.
