The story for this spec script that has been written by Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy for this new twist on this classic story is that Dracula is being tracked by Jonathan Harker who is a Scotland Yard Detective
Russell Crowe is set to play the main character 'Dracula',-this is whhttp://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3163458732465102712#editor/target=post;postID=5795545483863982495y I didn't know what to make of this news as I've seen nearly all of Russell Crowe movies and I just don't see Russell Crowe as Dracula and I don't really know how this will come off so I guess I'll have to reserve judgement on whether this was a good casting call or not until this gets released-, but the 'Harker' character in this hasn't been cast yet but 'Harker'.
Warner Bros. bought the rights to this back in February 2011 and was going to have to put this on the back burner because of a whole host of problems such as the 'Akira' film that was going to be an adaption of the anime classic that was going to star Garett Hedlund and Keanu Reeves (which as you may or may not know this now isn't going to be made now because of cost reasons...typical!), this was going to be overseen by Collet-Serra who is now directing a new Liam Neeson film called 'Nonstop, also Russell Crowe has been in talks to be part of this film since early this year but because he's already part of the epic adaption of 'Les Miserables' as well as 'Superman:Man of Steel' he wasn't going to available for some time. Warner Bros. though are hoping to get this going next year so hopefully fingers crossed that there will be another team up between Eli Roth and Russell Crowe.
If your like me and don't already know Eli Roth and Russell Crowe have already teamed up for new directing role for RZA (he's from the Wu-Tang-Clan that sang 'Gravel Pit', if you want to have a little listen to remember what this song was or if you just want to listen to this the video is below for your viewing pleasure) which it's script was co-written by Eli Roth and RZA:

This to me looks like Quentin Tarrantino has mixed Kill Bill with House Of Flying Daggers and then mixed in some really good music from the likes of the Black Keys (if you haven't bought their album El Camino yet I urge you to get this right away as this is an awesome album and has to be one of your summer must have albums) as well as some comedy! On to another winner I think with this collaboration between Quentin Tarantino and RZA.
This film,-'The Man with Iron Fists'- is according to IMDb is set for release in the US sometime this year and as yet there aren't any other country release dates yet other than Sweden which it will be released over there on the 8th February 2013.
The story for 'The Man With The Iron Fists' is that RZA plays a town's blacksmith that arrives in China's 'Jungle Village' is forced by radical tribal factions to create elaborate tools of destruction, but when these wars boil over he channels an ancient to transforms himself into a human weapon. Along the way he fights soulless villains, iconic heroes but he must be able to harness the power that he channels so as to save the people in his adopted country.
'Harker' will be produced by Appian Way and it's partners Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davidson Killoran.
