Sam Worthington has been confirmed to star in Dracula: Year Zero.
The Avatar star, who was previously linked to the Alex Proyas project earlier this year, has also signed on to star in several high-profile films, including Avatar 2, Clash Of The Titans 2 and The Last Days Of American Crime.
Producer Mike de Luca told Encore: “These writers came up with the ingenious – what I think is ingenious – approach combining historical Dracula with Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
“I think vampires are endlessly appropriate candidates for reinvention because there’s something in the DNA in that mythology that appeals to every generation. Every generation owns their own version of the vampire myth.”
