Dracula Untold Trailer

Vlad III Tepes is the Prince of Wallachia and a warrior with a fearsome reputation. Thought of by many as a hero with the ability to defeat armies of men, and by others as a powerful and often cruel adversary, Vlad is facing a huge challenge. Sultan Mehmed II is preparing for battle and he needs a thousand young boys to join his army, and thus Vlad's son is being dragged into the conflict. Determined to protect his family, he sets out to find a way to protect his people single-handedly, so that no children must face the dangers of war. It's then he comes across a dark beast with the power to transform him, and he becomes Dracula; an immortal, blood-drinking demon with the ability to morph into a bat and defend whole cities of civilians. Unfortunately, few are welcoming of his new form and it seems that even those he is striving to protect will turn against him.

'Dracula Untold' is a fantasy horror based on the life of the real Vlad Tepes (often referred to as Vlad the Impaler) and the 1897 gothic story 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker. The movie has been directed by Gary Shore and written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, and it is due to be released in the UK on October 3rd 2014.
