DRACULA: TheBoost's fantasy cast for 2012
Count Dracula: Jonathon Rhys Myers (The Tudors)
A good mix of menace and sex appeal. In fact, so much sex appeal that the film wont have to waste any time on the "Dracula is sexy" trope all other adaptations have done. Just his presense will cover that, and he can go about being evil.
Jonathon Harker: Garrett Hedlund (Tron 2)
A real leading man, action hero type. This heightens his character's brokenness after his escape from the castle.
Mina Murray: Laura Carmichael (Downton Abbey)
Carmichale, from "Downton Abbey" is elegant, lovely, and has a great smile that hints at layers beneath her proper veneer, without having to slap you in the face with it like the talentless Winona Rider.
Abraham Van Helsing: Rutger Hauer
The man was born for it. He's even Dutch... I think. Didn't bother to look it up.
Mr. Renfield: Christopher Eccelston (Doctor Who)
I think Eccelston's intensity and energy could make Renfield scary, not just funny, and be contrasted strongly with his gentleness later in the tale.
Lucy Westenra: Erica Durance (Smallville)
Lucy needs to be two things: instantly loveable and later, scary sexy. I think TV's Lois Lane, with her adorable dimples, could pull it off nicely.
The Suitors: With so many characters it's important to make sure each is very distinct in appearance and manners. That guided my choices.
Arthur Holmwood/Lord Godalming: Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian)
Pretty to the point of being almost girly, Barnes contrasts nicely with Harker and we can see why Lucy picks him.
Dr. Seward: Matt Smith (Doctor Who)
A Doctor playing a Doctor, Smith is charismatic and charming, while not being good looking.
Quincy Morris: Jason Segel (The Muppets)
While Segal has very little serious drama to his credit, I think he'd be a natural for the rangy Texan. And he's huge, which is nice.
