Vampire movies are hot even though most are painfully boring.  For every 20 “Twilight” knock-offs (plus “Twilight”), you may get one “Let the Right One In”.  But since everyone wants not only a vampire movie but a vampire franchise (how can you have just one?!), Universal is attempting to pull Anne Rice’s “The Vampire Chronicles” back from the grave.  And there’s only one actor who can raise any franchise corpse from its tomb: Robert Downey Jr.

But surely he wouldn’t take on a third franchise, would he?  Actually, there’s a very good chance he might.  Hit the jump for more details.
