Worthington Circling Dracula
Avatar star Sam Worthington is in negotiations to star in Dracula Year Zero for Universal Pictures.
Alex Proyas will direct the picture from a script written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.
The storyline is hush-hush. Even so, Universal says the movie will explore the origin of Dracula, “weaving vampire mythology with the true history of Prince Vlad the Impaler and depicting Dracula as a flawed hero in a tragic love story set in a dark age of magic and war.”
Dracula Year Zero is keeping to Universal’s horror legacy where the studio released the 1931 Bela Lugosi film. Next month the studio releases The Wolfman.

I think he will do the job well. As long as they make it cutting edge, it should be a wicked movie. Sam Worthington is a dude!
