Sarah Gadon ("Cosmopolis," "A Dangerous Method") will play the female lead in the "Dracula" reboot at Universal Pictures says Variety.
Formerly known as "Dracula Year Zero"--the project centers on Vlad the Impaler (Luke Evans) and his lust for blood which inspired the mythology behind Bram Stoker's classic novel. The film came close to production a while back when the studio shut it down due to the budget being too large.
The pic previously had Sam Worthington attached to star and Alex Proyas set to direct.
Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless wrote the latest draft of the screenplay from which commercials guy Gary Shore is now in poised to direct. Michael De Luca will act as producer.
The project has hopes of production starting later this year.
