Mark Strong. I know the guy is typecast as villains as much as Sean Bean is typecast as roadkill, but I really think he'd nail it to the wall with this role.

I know I'll get crucified for this, but my second choice would be
Denzel Washington.
 
Cumberbatch would be perfect. After watching Sherlock for the first time ever, Cumberbatch has arrogant superiority complex down to a tee.
 
Did Alex Pettyfer's agent mail somebody a Rolex just to get his client's name on the poll?

Anyway, Cumberbatch would be great. I also like some of the other suggestions (Fass, Armitage, Bardem, Hiddleston). A few others:

Mads Mikkelsen
Jonathan Rhys-Meyers
Hans Matheson
James Frain
Guy Pearce
 
Thanks.

Hey, anyone remember that rumored Dracula film from a few years ago that was supposedly a vehicle for Sam Worthington?

Yeah, that God that never happened.
 
Cumberbatch, because he already looks ****ing weird.

Man you keep doggin the Batch. Personally I love his unique looks and yeah I think he's really ****ing sexy and a great actor. I'm a fangirl for him basically.
 
Yeah, Cumby seems to have a very unique appeal to the ladies. A lot of my female friends really dig him.
 
Just put them all in 1 movie called the Drac Pack.:hehe: Winner takes the title of the King Of All Vampires "Dracula".
 
Yeah, Cumby seems to have a very unique appeal to the ladies. A lot of my female friends really dig him.
What can I say a lot us women love the jerks of the world or atleast the dudes who play jerks really well. My sister loves him as well.

Anyway to answer the threads question I'd be happy with Fassbender or Cumberbatch amnd yes that is the horn dog in my speaking...mostly.
 
Yeah, I remember when Worthington was slated for Dracula Year Zero to play Vlad the Impaler. Glad that never happened - he just doesn't have the 'presence.'
 
Mark Strong was the first person that came to mind. He, and Michael Fassbender. Guy Pearce is also a great one.

:up:
 
I know I'll get crucified for this, but my second choice would be
Denzel Washington.

Naw man, Denzel Washington would be the most out of the box casting. But he would be marvelous. He hasn't been enough villains to be honest.
 
As much as I don't really care about changing the race of many fictional characters...seriously, Dracula? He's based on a 14th century Romanian warlord. About as far as you could go on the color palette would be a Middle-Eastern actor, not an African-American.

On the other hand, I'm all up for a buddy-warlord action-comedy featuring Vlad Tepes and his Blackamoor mercenary friend as they battle the nefarious Mehmed II! Or some such thing. Javier Bardem and Idris Elba can both be in the movie then.
 
Remember, in the novel - and this is the only way to go IMO, Count Dracula appears at first as an elderly person but later is seen by Jonathan Harker as becoming young! So we need a fairly young actor in makeup starting the film and getting younger futher in the story. Don't know how young, Bram Stoker doesn't say.

Yeah, James Franco would be interesting.
 
If there is something we really dont need, then its another Dracula movie.
 
Man you keep doggin the Batch. Personally I love his unique looks and yeah I think he's really ****ing sexy and a great actor. I'm a fangirl for him basically.

:woot:

I need to give him a chance though. From what all the Sherlock fans say, he's supposed to be a pretty damn good actor. I may be cracking jokes about him but I really am looking forward to seeing how he performs in the new Star Trek.

Gerald Butler is never awesome as anything.

Actually, he was pretty damn good in Machine Gun Preacher. I'm not a huge fan of his but I'll say that might just be his best performance.
