Tarantino Making a Dracula Film in Austria?

Take this one with a grain of salt, but since it's Quentin Tarantino, I wouldn't dismiss it completely; you just never know with that guy. The Austrian Independent (through Tarantino Archives and Worst Previews) says that the writer-director will be in Austria doing some location scouting for an upcoming movie. Nothing shocking there. The paper asserts that the movie in question will be a Dracula flick. Wait...what? Sorry, there's no information other than that about the nature of the project. But the report goes on to say that QT will spend four nights in Vienna visiting castles, including Kreuzenstein Castle, which is a location used in Season of the Witch, the Nic Cage movie that Lionsgate magically disappeared from the spring schedule without a new release date. So, could he be prepping for a movie? I guess. Could it be a Dracula film? The last we heard he was doing some old-time gangster picture next, but again, it is Tarantino, and Inglourious Basterds was supposed to be made in, like, 2006 or something. I know - it's hard to believe he can't stay on a linear train of thought, isn't it? Here's an idea, though: What if he's just sightseeing? After all, Christoph Waltz is Austrian, and they spent much of the past year-plus together on the set and doing promotional tours and the awards season dance. So maybe Tarantino's heard a lot of good things about the country and is just taking a summer tour of some old castles. Having said that, he could make a hell of a vampire movie; who would know more about it than a guy who's worked with Harvey Weinstein for 15 years? I kid, I kid. Anyway, yes, he could do a great job, but I'd prefer if he did it when bloodsuckers weren't all the rage.

Rumours say that he is planing a remake of my (Wolf Morrison) flick "Vampire City" (2009) because he liked the locations from Vienna that I used in this movie.
