Forget Pattz—Sam Worthington Wants to Suck Your Blood

There's only one career move worthy of the man who just finished starring in the biggest movie of all time: make like Robert Pattinson, and quick.

Aussie Avatar hunk Sam Worthington is following in the bloodsucking, fang-toothed, though not-nearly-as-sparkly footsteps of one Edward Cullen,  and signing on to star in an epic period remake of Dracula.

Per the trades, Dracula Year Zero will tell the origin story of the O.G. bloodsucker and will mix mythology (la, la, la, they're real) with the true, vampire-inspiring tale of Price Vlad the Impaler.

Of course, while the Transylvania-set tale will be heavier on the horror than its Forks-based brethren, like any good vamp romp, it will include a love story. Team Drac, anyone?
