Movement on Hilary Swank Vampire Pic 'Fangland'
Thursday, December 6, 2007

Although this was announced back in May (here), today it was officially announced that Das Films and Blumhouse Prods. are teaming on an adaptation of John Marks' novel Fangland that is shaping up as a star vehicle for Hilary Swank. Sriram Das of Das Films and Jason Blum of Blumhouse will produce with Swank, who's is in line to play a TV producer who travels to Romania for an interview with a notorious European arms dealer. Turns out, he's a modern-day Dracula. Marks is a former "60 Minutes" producer, and Mark Wheaton ("The Messengers") turned in a first-draft adaptation of Marks' novel just before the strike. We also scored a look at the full synopsis, read on to check it out.


Evangeline Harker, a young producer for the TV news show The Hour, reluctantly accepts an assignment into the wilds of Romania to explore doing a segment on a legendary criminal figure, Ion Torgu. Evangeline soon finds herself at the very outskirts of civilization, and after hearing a missionary's account of a supernatural plague that affected a whole community in Africa, she's accosted by Torgu himself, doing an excellent impersonation of the vampire count. Her subsequent imprisonment in a deserted hotel also parallels Stoker's tale, but Marks manages to make the familiar fresh, so that even devotees of the original will find themselves rapidly turning pages and being drawn into Evangeline's fate and the stories of her friends and colleagues at The Hour.
