'Avatar' star sinks teeth into 'Dracula' role

In Hollywood, you only have as much clout as your last movie. So if you just starred in the biggest film in box-office history, you have plenty of equity to spend. Case in point: Avatar’s Sam Worthington, who has signed on to two projects since James Cameron’s science-fiction epic started bulldozing records.

The first is an adaptation of the grim futuristic graphic novel mini-series, The Last Days of American Crime, which he is attached to star in and produce.

And he has also sunk his teeth into the role of Dracula in yet another re-visitation of the vampire legend. Considering the success of Twilight, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries, it’s no surprise the most famous of all blood-suckers would rise from the tomb one more time. But what can audiences expect from Dracula: Year Zero (aside from hopefully a more appealing title) when it’s released?

“It’s a script I really like,” director Alex Proyas (The Crow) told us last year. “It’s about the origins of the legend of Dracula, but it has a new spin … It’s a movie that has to be done on a grand scale.”

True Blood: Book or Show?

Pretty much just giving my opinions on both the books and the TV Show and wanting some feedback from others! :)

Product Description

Someone's out for blood . . . True Blood

The unexplained explosion of the space freighter, Llyndar, brings the League of Planets and the Korcian Empire to the brink of war. The Korcian Guard is on full alert, and the League is depending on Officer Danna MacFadyen of the Diplomatic Corps to defuse the situation.

Danna puts her psychometric skills to work. Was the explosion tradegy or terrorism? But she's soon burdened with another question . . . Can she work side-by-side with Cullon Gavriel, a handsome Korcian Enforcer, without losing her heart?

Fighting isn't just in a Korcian's blood, it's in his very soul. When Cullon Gavriel arrives on Ramora, it's with one purpose in mind: to discover who's killing True Bloods. What he doesn't expect is a sassy Terran female with the ability to step into the past. But can the information Danna gleans from her dreamscapes prevent future murders?

As the pieces of an explosive puzzle fall into place, Danna and Cullon step into a conspiracy that stretches across the galaxy to the capital city of the Korcian Empire, where shocking secrets are waiting to be discovered, and where the lines of power and politics, and life and love cross unexpectedly.
