Newsarama reports that Chuck Gordon ("Die Hard") and Adrian Askarieh ("Spy Hunter") have acquired the feature film rights to "Sword of Dracula", a military horror project based on the Image Comics series by creator Henderson, and will act as producers along with Daniel Alter in an effort to set up the project with a major studio.
'Sword' is a contemporary revamp of the Dracula legend. Dracula is portrayed as the world's foremost terrorist, a king on the run with a vampire army and an array of new powers. Unlike in any interpretation before, Dracula here controls blood itself, using the blood of thousands of victims to build weapons, vehicles and strongholds.
As for who the producers would like to cast as the Lord of the Vampires, Askarieh said they'd go after the best actor they can find for the role and cite the likes of Viggo Mortensen or Jude Law as perfect candidates.
Thanks to 'Daniel' & 'KarlChilders'.
