Dracula Untold
Every bloodline has a beginning.
Directed by Gary Shore
Produced by Universal Pictures, Legendary Pictures
A dark action-fantasy that reframes Dracula as a tragic hero forced into monstrosity to protect his family from Ottoman conquest.
Vlad Tepes is a great hero, but when he learns the Sultan is preparing for battle and needs to form an army of 1,000 boys, he vows to find a way to protect his family. Vlad turns to dark forces in order to get the power to destroy his enemies and agrees to go from hero to monster as he's turned into the mythological vampire, Dracula.
