According to Deadline, Russell Crowe has signed up to Warner Bros’ Harker, not to play the title character but to play Count Dracula, who in this take on the tale is being tracked by Scotland Yard detective Jonathan Harker – not quite the peevish solicitor of the book.

Cabin Fever and Hostel director Eli Roth is also in talks to direct, making him the second gore/slasher director to take on Bram Stoker’s Dracula mythos in recent months – the first being of course The Descent‘s Neill Marshall on the Viggo Mortensen starring Last Voyage Of The Demeter.
