I think this is OT for just about everything but I'll just report it briefly here: there are press releases circulating as of yesterday that one of the networks (NBC?) has commissioned a new Dracula TV series starring the epically luscious Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (of "Velvet Goldmine" and "The Tudors" fame) as the Count. The blurb sounds distinctly lame but JRM fans will want to have a look.
It said something about the production company (Carnival something-or-other) being connected to super Brit-hit Downton Abbey, too.
Just reporting the news fwiw.
