Thomas Kretschmann (The River) has signed on to play the great vampire hunter Van Helsing in NBC‘s version of Dracula. He will be hunting the Count, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The new series is set in the 1890s, with Dracula masking as an American businessman in London.

Red Brick Road
What would you get if you crossed over Wizard of Oz and Game of Thrones? Who knows but apparently someone thinks it’ll work! Warner Horizon Television has picked up the rights to the show and will base the show upon
“a continuation of the Wizard of Oz story but told in a Game of Thrones fashion, filled with politics, intrigue and violence”.
The idea is being reported as coming from comic book and concept artist Rob Prior, whose photorealistic work began life on eighties Dungeons & Dragons titles, before appearing on numerous covers throughout the nineties including the Terminator series, Heavy Metal and more.We’ll see how this one turns out!
