According to SciFiWire.com, Alex Proyas said that his next film may be Dracula Year Zero.  This news is based on the fact that the script is completed, and an original take on Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

SciFiwire reports:

“We’re still trying to resolve budget and casting and all the stuff that you need to get through before a project becomes real,” Proyas (Knowing) said in an exclusive interview on Monday. “But the script is at a very good place and I think has a very unique take on the Dracula story.”

Concerning The Crow, someone had to finally ask what Alex Proyas thinks of a remake. With Stephen Norrington already signed to write and direct the reboot, which apparently isn’t going to be “gloriously gothic or stylized,” someone had to ask the original director what he thought.

JoBlo.com sat down with Proyas for a Knowing interview and ask about the recent announcement. He had this to say:

“I think it’s kind of premature, really… It’s seems like ‘The Crow’ is only like 15 years old maybe. It’s seems, early. (laughs) I always thought that remakes, you shouldn’t be given license to remake something for at least 25 years. I don’t know. It just seems kind of odd to me. Just re-release the original movie.”
