Dario Argento's next film is Dracula 3D, which is expected to begin filming later this month. The initial cast list was previously released and includes Rutger Hauer (as Van Helsing), Marta Gastini, Asia Argento, Miguel Angel Silvestre and Miriam Giovanelli.
Argento's Count Dracula had not yet been revealed, but Screen Daily is now reporting that Thomas Kretschmann has signed on to play the lead role. While the name may not seem familiar to everyone, he has nearly 100 acting credits which included roles in Wanted, King Kong, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Blade II, and The Pianist.
