CAPTAIN AMERICA's Dominic Cooper Joins The Cast Of DRACULA
Variety report that the actor, who played Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger, will join Luke Evans and Sarah Gadon in Universal's upcoming adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel.
According to Variety, Captain America: TFA/Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter actor Dominic Cooper has signed on for a role in Gary Shore's take on Dracula. The site doesn't reveal who he will play, but do say he's "ready to take on the most famous vampire of all", so perhaps that suggests he'll be a foe of Luke Evans' "Prince Vlad". Frequent David Cronenberg collaborator Sarah Gadon will play the female lead in the movie which will be "a mix of mythology and history as it follows the story of Prince Vlad, the inspiration for the Dracula character popularized by the Bram Stoker novel." Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless wrote the script, and the movie has an August 8th, 2014 release date.
