Vampires breeding with werewolves. Sounds hot, but it so isn't. Kate Beckinsale looks fetching in fangs and black vinyl, but the sparks she struck off camera with director Len Wiseman don't carry over to Scott Speedman, the human her character loves.

    “Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
