Latino Review reported, and The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed, that Sam Worthington is in talks to play Dracula for Universal, in Alex Proyas’ upcoming Dracula: Year Zero.
The fate of Year Zero is in flux right along with every other tentpole the Big U is considering for 2011. According to the Latino Review’s source:
…Universal has been stagnant since they got sold to that Cable company Comcast. They haven’t been allowed to go to the toilet without a permission slip. And now they realize they need to make 8 big films for 2011. You see it takes at least a year to make a moving picture- and they don’t have enough for next year.
So there are 14 possible films with 8 needed. And they need to figure out what the freak they are doing quickly.
Each of the possible 14 are ready to go with scripts and directors. Some of them you know and some of them you don’t…
As Avatar cruises past Titanic‘s box office milestones, Worthington’s casting would bump the project up considerably. Worthington will next be seen in Warner Brothers’ Clash of the Titans, opening March 26.
