- Writer/director Alex Proyas was quoted saying the following about the story: "It’s Prince Vlad of Transylvania in the 14th century, and to save his kingdom and his family he takes his first step into darkness. It’s his evolution into the monster that Dracula became."
- You may remember director Alex Proyas for his excellent films The Crow and Dark City.
- The film will supposedly offer a fresh new take on the vampire mythology.
- The film is said to follow Vlad Tepes in the height of his power and as a hero amongst the Romanian people, before he became the mythical figure we now know him as.
- The film will mix vampire mythology with the true history of Prince Vlad.
- Written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.
