THR’s Heat Vision Blog has confirmed Latino Review’s scoop that Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash of the Titans) is in negotiations to star in Universal’s Dracula: Year Zero, directed by Alex Proyas (Dark City, Knowing):
Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless wrote the spec, which explores the origin of Dracula, weaving vampire mythology with the true history of Prince Vlad the Impaler. It seeks to depict Dracula as a flawed hero in a tragic love story set in a dark age of magic and war.
