There’s only really one question lurking in every geeky fanboy mind – how well does this stack up against an original version as semi-legendary as Sam Worthington’s protagonist. The answer – pretty well actually!
There’s definitely a sense of campy lunacy about things as Worthington’s Perseus is found and raised by an over-acting and bizarrely accented (for ancient Greece) Pete Postlethwaite, who decides to chuck in a nuanced, emotionally charged performance for some reason, despite being in a world where most of the second act is taken up by giant scorpions attacks…

An Expertly-rendered preview of Worthington as Dracula...
It may finally be time for vampire-kind to shake of f the blousy Twilight romantic image –with MTV reporting that big bad Sam Worthington is in talks to don cape and widow’s peak in the Batmaningly titled Dracula: Year Zero.
Worthington’s been enjoying a skyrocketing profile this year despite his appearance as a half-man-half-convoluted-storyline in the ailing Terminator franchise, while popping up as demi-god Perseus in the ‘not-testing-well-apparently’ Clash of the Titans doesn’t seem to have hurt his cred either. Oh..and of course, there’s a certain animated biggest movie ever as well…
Variety first let slip that a new movie was on the cards detailing the exploits of Transylvania’s most famous export (Cheeky Girls notwithstanding), with Alex Proyas behind the lens. Rather more worryingly, the script comes from the haunted pens of Matt Sazama and aptly-named Burk Sharpless, famous for the intergalactic shit-fest that was the Flash Gordon reboot, and details Vlad Tepes.Esq’s fist steps towards virgin-eating immortality.
Do you think Vlad needs another do-over after the appalling Dracula 200? Or are Vampires passé –is it all about Werewolves and Ghost-Ninjas this year? Let us know!
