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."

Should I be worried that I've never heard of any of the people attached to this? Probably.

You've never heard of Sam Worthington?

Luke Evans' resume is growing. He'll be playing Bard the Bowman in the next 2 Hobbit films, and is the villain in Fast and Furious 6.

He's no longer attached.

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.

Sounds like it is going to suck.

Just kidding, if it is done right, I am sure my wife and I would like to see it.

Just call it Dracula 3000 and Bob Weinstein will buy it.

Call it Dracula Unchained and QT will direct it.

Guillermo del Toro. That is all.

Luke Evans is cool.

Call it Los Colmillos Del Vampiro and change the setting to that of the Spanish Civil War.

I'm in!

Sounds much cooler than the English translation "Fangs of the Vampire".

Hence why I wrote it in Spanish.

Since he's not here to say it:

Vampiras Desnudas Lesbianas Satanicas

A Jess Franco / Jean Rollin co-production from the grave

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.

Universal has announced the release date. August 8, 2014.

Ahh, the coveted second weekend in August spot! This must be a tentpole release for Universal.

At least they'll be able to get it to home video for Halloween.

Director Gary Shore has done some impressive work. This film will mark his first feature film.

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

Actually it sounds like Muslim terrorists are to blame
