Dracula Untold (2014, D: Gary Shore) S: Luke Evans
This has been greenlit by the studio and they have cast Luke Evans to play the title role. This was previously being developed as "Dracula Year Zero" with Sam Worthington attached, but they have moved on with Evans and thankfully dropped 'Year Zero'.
The script is from Matt Sazama and Burke Sharpless and will be directed by Gary Shore. Production is planned to begin this year. Here's the synopsis:

Cool... i guess. So they were sitting around watching the prologue of Coppola's Dracula and said:
"Dudes, we need to make this thing into a whole movie."

Soooo, over the years. Dracula and Vampires in general have gone from being creatures created by Religious sins and or demonic happenstance to victims of natural Biological/Genetic occurrences.
This sounds like we've come full circle back to Religious sins and demonic happenstance since they mention "risking his soul" in the description.

Re: Universal Developing New 'Dracula' Origin Story
I'd like to see a theatrical re-release of ˇVampiros en La Habana!
Although I guess the best I can hope for is an Americanized remake called Vampires In Miami or, worse case scenario, Vampire Movie.
EDIT: Wasn't aware that there was a sequel released 10 years ago called Más ˇVampiros En La Habana!
I wonder if it's as funny as the first one.

As long as they find a role for Keanu Reeves, I'll be there!
