British thespian Jared Harris will join Paul W.S. Anderson’s period 3D disaster epic, Pompeii. The film, set in 79 A.D., already has Game Of Thrones hearthrob, Kit Harrington and Sucker Punch stunner, Emily Browning, onboard, as slave-turned-gladiator Milo, who races to save his true love Flavia, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, before she’s forced to marry a corrupt Roman general. A task made all the more difficult as the famed city in the title faces the volcanic wrath of Mount Vesuvius. Harris is expected to play Flavia’s merchant father.

Harris, son of the legendary late actor Richard, has worked with Anderson before on woeful zombie actioner Resident Evil: Apocalypse. One of the few in the franchise Anderson didn’t helm, although he did write and produce.

The subtitling of Paul W. S.

Thomas Kretschmann will be switching cloaks for Dracula. He’s played the Count himself, in Dario Argento’s Dracula 3D, but now will play the opposite side of the coin: Van Helsing! Kretschmann should be familiar to many, as he’s had a varied film and TV career, with roles in U-571, Blade II, The Pianist, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, The River, King Kong, and a ton more.

Abraham Van Helsing is described as “…not the classic hero featured in so many retellings. Here, he’s a brilliant professor with a cool exterior who is obsessed with revenge and makes him more of a threat to the public than to Dracula.“

Thomas Kretschmann joins a cast that includes Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jessica De Guow, and Oliver Jackson-Cohen in the NBC series set in the 1800′s. »
