Yeah Depp would be a great choice from someone in the movie (anyone see the
Ninth Gate?) but i think he's a little too passive for the job of Vlad.  I
was thinking about Kragar, but it just doesn't seem right either.  Maybe
(and forgive me fangirls) as Daymar? I actually don't know, Depp is adept at
playing the sort of antihero, guy who you like but is distinctly flawed. But
he's also a wuss.  I can't rectify how incredibly slick Vlad is at combat
with the utter  lack of the same Depp has displayed.

I think Willis gets my vote too.
