Luke Evans plays good ol' Vlad Dracula in this origin story for the Prince of Darkness, Dracula Untold
We've always suspected that Vlad the Impaler was just plain misunderstood. Well, no...actually we haven't. You don't earn a nickname like "the impaler" for being a good guy. But, if this trailer for Dracula Untold starring Luke Evans is to be believed, ol' Drac only turned to the dark side (sorry...wrong franchise) for the sake of his family and his people.
But it's been quite some time since we've seen Dracula's supposed origins explored on screen in any substantial fashion. Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula had a neat little prologue that set things up, but Dracula Untold looks to dig a little deeper into his motivations.
Watch the first trailer for Dracula Untold right here.
Dracula Untold is directed by Gary Shore. It opens on Ocobter 15th. We're just happy to see a Dracula movie, any Dracula movie, with an October release date, to be perfectly honest.
