Russell Crowe is set to play Dracula in a new film by Eli Roth.
The Warner Bros. pic will feature the infamous vampire being tracked by Scotland yard detective Jonathan Harker. There are reports that this could be a catalyst for a franchise character for the yet uncast Harker.
The studio went to Roth after Jaume Collet-Serra had to drop out due to other commitments. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran will be producing.
