Let's see.

Dracula : I've long wished Charles Dance would play him, he could still play old Drac but it's difficult to tell what make up and a bit of digital trickery would do to make him into his rejuvenated form. Christopher Eccleston could do the job well I think, he has the cheek bones. Maybe Jason Issacs too.

Mina : Jessica Brown Findlay.

Arthur : Dan Stevens.

Jack : Benedict Cumberbatch

I considered but passed on Dan Stevens as Arthur, almost because he's a little too "on the nose" from his role on "Downton Abbey." (and I just now learned he already played Arthur! I didn't know that!)

Charles Dance as the Count could work. My first thought of him is always as The Phantom of the Opera... so you get a little "horror icon" cache, although he is a bit long in the tooth (no pun intended).

I like that we both picked supporting sister's from "Downton Abbey" as Mina.

Cumberpatch would be a swell Seward.

As for Rutger being too physical... give him a cane! Solved!!
