Russell Crowe to sink his teeth into Dracula role for director Eli Roth
'Hostel' helmer signs on for Warner Bros.' 'Harker'

Quote:

The Oscar-winning actor has officially signed on to star as Dracula in "Harker," a reimagining of the Bram Stoker novel that was written by Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy. What's more, Eli Roth - who hasn't directed a feature film since 2007's "Hostel: Part II" - is in talks to direct.

The film will center on the efforts of Jonathan Harker (written as a Scotland Yard detective in this version of the tale) to bring an end to the blood-sucking exploits of the legendary vampire.

"Harker" has been designed as the first installment of a potential franchise that will follow the adventures of the title character (who has yet to be cast) across several movies.
