It appears that NBC has decided to sink their teeth into a vampire tale with a commitment for a script based on Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel The Last American Vampire. For this project, the author is teaming with his partner David Katzenberg and Terry Matalas to produce the show. As reported by Deadline, Matalas will serve as an executive producer on the project, alongside Grahame-Smith and Katzenberg.
The Last American Vampire which is basically a follow-up to his Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (minus Abe), is kind of a vampiric version of Silence of the Lambs. The story tells the tale of Henry Sturges, a 500-year old vampire who first appeared in the Lincoln novel. In the novel, Sturges was imprisoned for decades and believed and quite frankly hoped to be the last of his kind. That was before a new wave of vampire like attacks reluctantly drives the FBI to release him. He then teams up with a young analyst named Abby in the quest to solve the mystery.
In the film adaptation of Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, which was directed by Timur Bekmambetov, the character of Sturges was played by Dominic Cooper, who currently is one of the stars in AMC’s adaptation of Preacher. Whether or not is in discussions to play the titular character is unknown at this time.
