Dracula Dream Cast

You're going to get sick of me talking about Dracula.

Yesterday was the official press release for the new series of Dracula, this time adapted by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. While I had heard of this before, today it became official. I know Mark to be a horror nut so I really hope they do the original story justice. I would love it to be totally like the novel, definitely no romance between Dracula and Mina, but I could watch it being set in modern day as they certainly did a good job with Sherlock.

Normally the same actors aren't used for the same roles, so they probably wouldn't use my favourites which you can read about here, so I've decided to make a new dream cast. It will be short and sweet so here it is:

Dracula - Mads Mikkelsen
Mina Harker - Emma Watson (I'd hope she would do this as Mina is quite a feminist role, certainly for the time at least)
Jonathan Harker - Jeremy Irvine
Dr Seward - Colin Morgan
Arthur Holmwood - William Moseley
Quincy Morris - Liam Hemsworth (Taylor Lautner may be more attainable due to his work on Cuckoo)
Renfield - Toby Jones
Lucy Westenra - Sophie Hopkins
Abraham van Helsing - Sam Neill

I think some of these might be aiming high, but after the success Mark and Steven had with Sherlock I would think it might be easier for them to get bigger actors.
Who would you cast?
