Breck Eisner to have Dracula duel Jack The Ripper

It is relatively common for Hollywood to make creative mash-up films, most releasing to mixed or bad reviews. Some that come to mind are ALIEN VS. PREDATOR and FREDDY VS. JASON, but thanks to Breck Eisner, director of THE CRAZIES, we might be getting the greatest mash-up film ever conceived.

BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT, which is based off a graphic novel by Mark Wheatly, will be pitting Dracula against Jack The Ripper. An odd pairing that could lead to a crazy and bloody good time.

But the downside to this is that there are current fears that the studios might do some tweaks to the story and possibly even make Jack The Ripper a vampire. In many eyes, including my own, this would be an unfortunate and unnecessary take on the story. It isn’t completely certain this will happen though, I imagine we’ll find out soon enough.

This sounds like a really fun and interesting film to me. Jack the Ripper is an absolutely fascinating part of history that I feel is underutilized in film these days. I don’t really think that this film will focus on that as much as the idea of Jack the Ripper, but regardless I’m very curious about this future project.

Does this sound like an interesting film to you guys?
