Universal’s ‘Dracula Untold’ hits theatres this October with Brit star Luke Evans taking over the legendary role. The studio have revealed a small batch of new stills including a couple of behind the scenes snaps that feature Evans and director Gary Shore. Along with the previously released trailer I can’t honestly say I’m sold on this project. I’ll admit that vampirism is by far my least enjoyed sub-genre and from all the teasers and assets unleashed on us so far I’m not exactly blown away. Let’s hope things can change in the next months leading up to its October premiere. ‘Dracula Untold’ also stars Sarah Gadon (‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’), Dominic Cooper (‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’), Zach McGowan, Thor Kristjansson, Art Parkinson, and Samantha Barks (‘Les Misérables’). Check out the images below.
“Luke Evans is starring as the most famous of vampires in an origin story that sees a Transylvanian prince risk eternal damnation in order to save his wife and son from a Turkish horde. Barks will play a figure in Eastern European folk tales known as a baba yaga, a beautiful young woman who turns into a savage witch. Kristjansson will play Bright Eyes, an Eastern European taken as a slave as a young boy and now a vicious assassin in the Ottoman Army. Parkinson will play Dracula’s son, named Ingeras.”
‘Dracula Untold’ arrives in theaters and IMAX everywhere from 17 October 2014.
