Brad Pitt Producing Vampire Flick for Summit

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. But if at first you succeed and then again you succeed in an even bigger way, then I suppose you should also try, try again. Summit, having grown fat off the Twilight series, is recruiting Brad Pitt to produce Vlad through his Plan B outfit. The movie was written by Charlie Hunnam from Sons of Anarchy, who was also quite good in Nicholas Nickelby a handful of years ago. As you might have suspected, Vlad is not about a Dominican baseball player who can and will swing at anything with surprising power but rather the historical Vlad the Impaler, whose story was re-fitted and romanticized into the popular myth of Dracula. The film will be Dracula as a young prince, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Anthony Mandler, a music video director (The Killers, Eminem, Rihanna), is the top choice to direct, and I have a hunch that Hunnam has himself in mind for the lead role. Why wouldn't he? The goal is to make this a "visually edgy and radical period movie that also will break a new talent," and let's be honest, Summit would like to stay in the bloodsucker business for as long as it continues to be lucrative. With Pitt's fairly on-target Plan B behind it, that could be a big enough push to start another franchise...or dare I say "fang-chise." You're right, I shouldn't have dared.
