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.
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD
The "Dracula" reboot includes a coda set in the modern day involving Evans' Dracula character and the vampire character (turned more human like) played by Charles Dance both milling around a market on the streets of a major city.
END SPOILERS
According to Badass Digest, reshoots were conducted a few months ago to include this sequence.
While the upcoming Untitled Reboot of The Mummy Film Franchise will be the first official film of the initiative, this 'Untold' coda sets the whole thing off.
It's also minor enough that if Untold is a failure, Universal can opt instead to make it retroactively standalone and go forward with another take on Dracula.
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 directed Michael De Luca will act as producer.
"Dracula Untold" is set to hit theaters on October 10, 2014.
