Russell Crowe May Star In The Upcoming Dracula Tale 'Harker'

Having starred in many different roles, actor Russel Crowe has always managed to prove how valuable his talents are, and now he may be starring in a film which features one of horror's oldest icons.



According to New York Magazine's Vulture Warner Bros. is in talks with Russell Crowe about starring in Harker, a reimagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula that's being produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. It tells the vampire story from the point of view of Jonathan Harker, who - instead of his traditional role as a lawyer - is now a Scotland Yard detective investigating the Count's string of grisly murders in England.

The project (co-written by Lee Shipman and Vulture contributing vampire expert Brian McGreevy) began gathering steam at Warner Bros. around this time last year, when director Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown, Orphan) became attached.

As for Crowe, talks have only just begun, and in any event Australia’s favorite son won't be available for some time due to various projects in which Crowe is already associated with.
