Hate to see Kirk get canned from Fringe but this new chick is hot...nice

Dumb move on Fringe. I hope the former Deal or No Deal model can act.

¨DAYBREAKERS¨ sounds like another take on ¨I AM LEGEND¨, there´s nothing fresh about it, it´s been told and retold dozens of times, it´s either vampires or zombies, or Zombie-Vampires!....They should just do a good restructured remake of Tobe Hooper´s¨LIFEFORCE¨, or better yet, ¨SPACE VAMPIRES¨, a more loyal and attached version to the Colin Wilson novel instead.

I'm still hoping they can get I am legend right finally, the best one so far was last man on earth.

I'm confused... Fringe fires one actor only to replace him with a another model turned actor.

I can only assume that she is being paid far less than Kirk Acevedo. I hate when shows hire models because they are current "hot" thing.

The poster design is a complete rip-off of the book "If You Don't Sleep, you Don't Dream" by William Pauley III. Here is the link to the book's artwork: http://www.webook.com/project/If-You-Dont-Sleep-You-Dont-Dream
