As if Sam Worthington didn't try his hand at enough genre flicks--machines! sci-fi! Gods vs. humans!--he is now allegedly gearing up to take on the most famous vampire of them all: Dracula.

Word is that Worthington is in talks to star in Dracula Year Zero, a period vampire epic Alex Proyas, director of I, Robot. The flickexplores the origin of Dracula, weaving vampire mythology with the true history of Prince Vlad the Impaler. It seeks to depict Dracula as a flawed hero in a tragic love story set in a dark age of magic and war. In not so many words--it wants to be the new Batman Begins.

You know what? Before Twilight and before True Blood, I always loved the Dracula movies--well, minus the one with Vitamin C in it. It is a good ol', classic story from hundreds of years ago that stems from a real person, and I think it's intriguing and all the scarier. So I can totally get on board with an origin story about the infamous Dracula, especially with newest IT boy, Worthington, taking a stab at it.

What do you guys think?
