Legendary Mulls "Dracula" Redux & ."Jurassic Park IV"

As the 5 year deal for co-financing and distribution between Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures set to start--the nitty gritty is now being worked out according to Variety.

Legendary suit Thomas Tull is considering co-financing the"Dracula" reboot.

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. In this version Dracula is a Transylvanian prince who risks eternal damnation in order to save his wife and son from a Turkish horde.

Sarah Gadon, Dominic Cooper, Samantha Barks and Art Parkinson also star.

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.

Production is underway in Belfast.

Tull is also considering taking on Colin Trevorrow's "Jurassic Park IV" which is scheduled to begin production next year.

Legendary is committed to invest an average of $275 million in Universal films for the first two years of the deal. That doesn't include either the Fast and Furious film franchise or Illumination Entertainment's animated features which are all excluded from the agreement.
