I was sceptical until I read the article. Sounds perfect for Sam.
Sam Worthington is set to play the most famous vampire of them all: Dracula.
The Australian actor, who has become an A-list star overnight with lead roles in Avatar, Terminator: Salvation and Clash of the Titans, will play Prince Vlad of Transylvania — the inspiration for Bram Stoker's classic character.
The film, titled Dracula: Year Zero and directed by Alex Proyas, follows Vlad the Impaler as he battles the invading Turks and tries to stop them taking all the male children.
"Every generation owns their own version of the vampire myth," said producer Mike De Luca.
"I think it's always right for reinvention."
Dracula: Year Zero will be shot in Australia next year.
