‘Dracula Untold’ First Look Image & Poster: Dracula Begins

[manigamer]

Not too long ago, NBC premiered a new Dracula series, featuring Jonathan Rhys Meyers as the title character. The TV show re-imagined Bram Stoker’s iconic vampire as being more of a dark superhero, who faces off against an evil order hell-bent on (secretly) controlling the world – and though it had camp entertainment value, it failed to attract the viewership numbers required to secure a second season. We’ll see if Universal has more luck with its cinematic re-imagining, Dracula Untold (see the first look image, above).



Dracula Untold was, once upon a time, formerly known as Dracula Year Zero, with Sam Worthington set to star and Alex Proyas (Dark City) onboard to call the shots. The basic premise is still the same despite the change in title (read: a Dracula origin story that paints the character in a more sympathetic light), but the film is now being headlined by Luke Evans – the well-respected character actor, who played second fiddle in such films as Clash of the Titans (2010) and The Raven, before he portrayed the main villain in last year’s Fast & Furious 6.



In Dracula Untold, Evans plays a version of Prince Vlad who, in an effort to protect his loved ones, makes a pact with supernatural forces – and so, unknowingly starts down the path to become the monstrous Dracula. It appears this film forgoes the political intrigue of NBC’s recent Dracula TV series; whereas that show also portrayed Meyers’ vampire as being heavily motivated by revenge and his literal bloodlust, it sounds as though Evans will be closer to a pure tragic figure – for better or worse – whose transformation into Dracula is both physical and psychological, along the lines of Bruce Wayne’s evolution into Batman.


Indeed, the first official poster for Dracula Untold (see below), has already prompted many a comparison to the artwork style and iconography of Christopher Nolan’s origin story for the Caped Crusader, Batman Begins.

One of the reasons that Dracula Untold made our list of Risky Box Office Bets in 2014, is because there’s no guarantee that moviegoers will turn out in large numbers to see this revisionist take on the Dracula mythos – especially, if screenwriters Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, along with director Gary Shore (all making their feature debuts here), prove unable to make a movie that at least shows promise, when presented in trailer form.



This past winter’s I, Frankenstein was a re-imagining of a horror literature icon as a dark superhero archetype – one which, arguably, would’ve made for a cool sandbox to play in, had it been better constructed. (A problem that was obvious throughout the film’s marketing – hence, it was mostly a dud at the box office). So far, the marketing for Dracula Untold paints the project as being a somewhat similar re-envisioning, but only time will tell if the final result turns out any better.

[h=1]‘Dracula Untold’: Luke Evans Explains What Makes His Dracula Different[/h]

It might be hard to imagine but Luke Evans only arrived on the Hollywood movie scene in 2010. Since that time, the star of Dracula Untold has been seen in a wide variety of films – including several blockbuster franchises: Clash of the Titans, Fast and Furious 6, and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, among others – with upcoming roles in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and The Crow reboot. Evans’ star is on the rise – portraying a wide mix of memorable characters from malevolent baddies to charming heroes.


However, the actor’s biggest challenge, so far, may be his turn as Vlad III Țepeș (aka Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula) – which requires the actor to find a fresh approach to the iconic movie monster, while also delivering a character-focused performance that is both relatable and terrifying. As depicted in Dracula Untold, Vlad is not a black or white creature of the night, he’s a family man and benevolent ruler (admittedly one with a dark past) who will stop at nothing in order to protect his kingdom – even if it means corrupting his own soul.


Back in November 2013, we visited the set of Dracula Untold in Belfast, Ireland to find out what Universal Pictures and director Gary Shore have planned for Dracula’s origin story. During our time on set, we had a chance to speak with Evans about his role as Vlad/Dracula – specifically what drew him to the project, how his interpretation of Dracula differs from those that came before, as well as why he thinks anti-vampire movie skeptics mint be surprised by what they see in Dracula Untold.


We’ve already posted our full set visit report and will be publishing further interviews in the coming days but, in the meantime, check out the trailer for Dracula Untold followed by our interview with Luke Evans below.


This is a character-driven version of Dracula. From your point of view what is the change between the pre-vampire Vlad/Dracula and the post Dracula? Besides the fangs obviously.

Luke Evans: Well you meet Vlad at the beginning of the film and he’s in a good place, he’s had 10 years of peace. He’s in a loving relationship with his beautiful wife and he has a good kid. His people are happy and everything is prosperous, so he’s quite in a good place. Then a threat comes of an invasion by the Ottoman empire, he loses his security and becomes quite vulnerable. The cracks start to show, you see his weaknesses and you see he’s a very vulnerable leader. Then he gains this gift in a way, these powers that he has after he chooses to become a vampire and you see a different character. I guess he becomes more confident, he has hope all of a sudden in a different way.
He also has these abilities which he didn’t have before which no one else knows about but he’s aware he can do these things; he can speak to you without opening his mouth and you can hear what he’s saying and all those things and he can fly and jump, he’s immortal and can heal. I think that sort of stuff is good to play on. As we go further into film, I get to play those internal confident boosting moments. I think there’s a lot of Vlad that you see in the beginning, that you see at the end. The important thing that we wanted to do we wanted to impress in the character of Vlad and Dracula, when he becomes the vampire, is that you see the human in the vampire. We don’t want to disassociate the two people we want to keep them the same person, the same emotional drive he has at the beginning of the film and the reasons why he does what he does are still prevalent at the end of the film. So, in a way he’s the same person but in a way he isn’t and he has other things going on.
​

Does power corrupt him?

LE: In the wrong hands yes obviously, we know that very much so in this day and age. In this film you see power given to one human being and used wrongly and you see power given to another human being, another person, used in a very sort of selfless way. I think in Vlad’s situation he does what he does from a very selfless position and point of view. He does it because he wants to save his family; his son and his wife and his people. You see other people turn into vampires in this movie. I was trying to associate it with being addicted to some very strong drug. You see some people who deal with drug addiction in one way and some who just completely fail and never ever be able to come out of that dark place. Vlad always keeps his reasons for doing it very clear. As much as he has this urge to drink the blood of a human, he really resists as much as he can because of the love for his first wife and his family, his kid and his people.



​

Is that transformation into Dracula an instantaneous thing or is it something like in terms of your powers not just the physical look of the character, is the Dracula at the end a much more vampiric looking character with more powers?

LE: He doesn’t realize the powers immediately that he has, it’s a sort of revelation as the plot goes on and his journey progresses, he becomes aware that he can do certain things and certain things happen to him that he’s like, ‘Oh wow. That’s useful’ and he actually does say “that’s useful.” So yes he has them all, cause as soon as he makes that decision and he does what he does in Caligula’s cave, he gains all of those powers but he’s very unaware of them at the beginning. He even thinks he’s dead at one point and realizes he’s alive but nobody can see him and then he can’t be seen. He’s seeing ghosts. So it’s an interesting thing, he’s discovering these things as he goes along but the vampiric part of him is only seen in very subtle moments when he actually does go to bite, you see this incredible transformation. It’s unique to this film, it’s unique to Dracula, and it’s never been done before. He doesn’t have the fangs the whole time it’s not something that I’m talking with big fangs in my mouth the whole time. Even though I have my own fangs. Sometimes the unseen is often more exciting and more intriguing to an audience than what you see. If you spoonfeed every visual element of some character like Dracula, which we’re so used to seeing in so many representations we’ve seen through the years. This one we’ve chosen to be very clever in when we show these moments of the vampire in him. But it is quite beautiful when it happens to him – when he goes for the kill.



​

The way you describe it almost sounds like a superhero origin story, is that the way that you think of it?

LE: If you read up about Dracula, he’s able to transform into creatures, he’s able to speak into your head without opening his mouth, he can physically make you do things and move, he can fly, he’s immortal; he won’t die as long as he doesn’t get in the sunshine and stays out of daylight. His wounds heal, he has a few flaws but he tries to veer away from silver and the daylight but in a way we want to keep the human part of him alive – so people can relate to him. He is sort of an antihero in a way even though we’re use to thinking of Dracula as a man who lures women into bed and then kills them for their life force. Yea, he does become that but we’re beginning at the origin, this is the origin story of Dracula, maybe that is where he ends up at the Bram Stoker of the whole story, but at this point he’s still hoping that’s not who he’s going to become. He doesn’t want to become what he sees in that cave, that’s not a nice thought that he wants to live like that for the rest of his life.


​

Is he a one man army with his powers?

LE: I think in many senses he is. He really is a man who has to keep this secret to himself and he knows that most people are not going to like what he’s done – including his wife being at the top of the pile. He’s mortified at the fact that he’s decided to choose this dark almost inhuman anti-Christian life, so has to make these decisions a lot on his own and try to convince his people and his army and his men that everything looks terrible and we’re all going to die but you have to trust me cause I have [powers] but he doesn’t want to give it away because he knows they’ll all freak out if they know exactly what he is. So, yea in a way he is a one man band, a one man army for a lot of it. He tries to save his people without putting them in a position where they’re terrified of him.



​

So this movie picks up with him in a good place in the beginning of the film but my understanding this is after he is known as Vlad the impaler, so aren’t those dark days?

LE: Gary and I wanted to be very loyal to the real character here and he was known as Vlad the impaler and we do touch on it quite a lot – especially when he meets his step brother Mehmed II played by Dominic Cooper. It’s something that at this point in the film and the point of the story—that’s a whole different film, a very dark R-Rated movie—but we don’t ignore the fact that he did do those things and he was a very blood thirsty leader and warrior and he did do some incredibly shocking things. We do talk about them, there are scenes where they’re brought up and you can see that he’s uncomfortable with the fact that these are being brought up because people have sort of moved on and he’s become a leader that isn’t all about the fact that he impales people and kills thousands of people. We don’t ignore the fact that was something, that was very important for me to have that element of him in the film because he is Vlad the Impaler, he was the Lord Impaler, that was his title when he was brought up by the Turks. He gained killing techniques from the Turks, that’s how he was brought up, that’s where he learned them all. There are a couple of moments where we honor the impaling techniques in very clever ways.
You know a thing about Vlad, there is a lot of history books, that are a bit biased if you read a lot which I’ve done, you find that he was revered by his people not just a warlord or terrifying leader of a country. He was revered, he was a very fair ruler, he gave land not only to the aristocracy of his land but he gave it to the poor people and he often brought in the working class to work with him and fight with him. He was very clever in that way he wasn’t all about money and land, he was about people feeling they were given something and they owed him something. It was interesting, he was very respected by his enemies, it’s on his tombstone where it says, ‘He was a great ruler and respected by his enemies’ which is a quite impressive thing to have.

[h=1]‘Dracula Untold’: Dominic Cooper Promises A Dark Vampire Origin Story[/h]

In addition to a fan-favorite turn (with possible returns in the future) as Marvel’s Howard Stark, father to Iron Man, Tony Stark, Dominic Cooper has been seen in several high-profile franchise films in the last few years – with more already scheduled. Most recently, the actor served as antagonist to the racing game movie, Need for Speed – only to sign on for a role in the highly anticipated World of Warcraft adaptation (set to hit theaters in 2016). Last year, the actor played supporting Vampire hunter Henry Sturges in the genre-bending novel adaptation Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter – one of the bright spots in a film that fell short of finding the same success as its source material.


Now, Cooper is once again set to portray a vampire hunter - albeit one that doesn’t know he’s fighting a vampire at first. In Dracula Untold, Cooper portrays Mehmed II, ruler of the Ottoman empire – and former brother in arms to Vlad III Țepeș (aka Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula). Years after they both served under his father, Mehmed I, Mehmed II reunites with his friend - demanding that Vlad, now a family man and benevolent ruler of Wallachia (aka Transylvania/modern day Romania), hand over 1,000 boys from his kingdom, including Vlad’s own son, Ingeras, to join the Turk army in conquering neighboring lands. When Vlad refuses, Mehmed vows to destroy Wallachia. Outnumbered, Vlad fears for the destruction of his people, seeking out a dark power that might give him the upper hand against Mehmed II and his invaders.



Back in November 2013, we visited the set of Dracula Untold in Belfast, Ireland to find out what Universal Pictures and director Gary Shore have planned for Dracula’s origin story. During our time on set, we had a chance to speak with Cooper about his role as Mehmed II - specifically how he fits into this new Dracula mythology, historical accuracy in the fantasy genre, as well as what actually makes Dracula Untold an “untold” story.



We’ve already posted our full set visit report and will be publishing further interviews in the coming days but, in the meantime, check out the trailer for Dracula Untold followed by our interview with Dominic Cooper below.


What big stunt are you doing today?

Dominic Cooper: I’m constantly doing stunt rehearsal.



​

We hear you’re doing a really big one today.

DC: There’s a big one I’m training to do, in fact I just tired all my armor on, I’m training to do a big stunt towards the end. I call it a stunt but it’s a fight. It’s a big, big, big fight between Vlad and myself. You do these things and this always happens and I never learn when you’re doing an action based film is that you spend weeks learning these fights and then you try them and then you’re in this armor and then you realize you can’t move. So then the whole thing probably has to be changed. It’s an incredible costume. It’s a very over the top but beautiful golden armor costume; it’s all frilly gold and it’s got the battle of Constantinople on the front of it and on the arms. It’s incredible but it’s so heavy, I can’t move.



​

So what’s the relationship between you and Vlad in the sense of – what’s the evolution of it? What’s the mark of the relationship?

DC: Well they have a history as kids and my take on it is that he has always been terribly envious of this boy who is called in to his father’s palace and I like the relationship to be based in envy, jealously, and resentment. I think he saw Vlad as being a better fighter, a stronger, stronger mind, and physically and I think his dad was aware of this. So this is something that’s ongoing and is punctuated in the story itself and that comes to a head. We’ve kind of put these extra ideas in it. On my father’s death bed it was Vlad who he chose to speak to. Because I think he trusted him more as a warrior, as a future leader. So there was a clever bit of writing they came up with right in the beginning of shooting, and I loved it when I read it. It was about him desperately trying to understand or find out what it was that the father had shared with Vlad and not himself. And he can tell he’s being lied to when Vlad comes out with this elaborate, over the top, kind words that he knows are not true. As revenge I do to him really in a way what my father did – which is to ask and insist upon taking his son into battle. I only do that for one reason and it’s to anger him and upset him. That’s the basis of the beginning of the story, and then the big battle begins.



​

So is your character sort of the villain of the piece or if we look at it from his point of view it makes perfect sense in terms of his motivations?

DC: Yes, exactly. It makes perfect sense for him as any villain and it has to for a well written villain. It can’t be villainous for villains’ sake it absolutely comes from a place of jealousy and resentment not that as an audience member you would care. He’s evil and he does things not for the good of his country or his people but to seek revenge, in my opinion, but it comes from a very real place. He’s an incredible warrior but this particular part of the story, he ruins himself because of letting this jealously eat himself up. He makes all the wrong decisions, everything he chooses to do from this point ruins him. It would all be fine, he could continue to take on Europe and take on the rest of the world but he decides that this one thing has been killing him since he was a child, he decides to pursue. So that’s his downfall.


​

So if not for your character Dracula wouldn’t exist.

DC: Yea, exactly.



​

Is it fun to play a villain?

DC: It’s always fun. If they’re well written and like you said as long as they’re a real place that you can relate to or that you understand where that hatred comes from, and that they’re believable. That this person existed. The clever thing from this is that his childhood, what he was capable of, and what he did, he is a villain in a way. He’s trying to cover up a past. I mean the impaling of people that’s very poignant in one of the scenes, that I try to unveil to others what he is capable of and actually how evil he is – because I know the true him that he’s trying to cover up. Yes he’s become a good man and yes he loves his people and he cares for his family but he watched him survive what my father put him through. He was a killer, a volatile dangerous, awful, evil, killer. I think that’s quite clever of a confrontation between the two of them – you don’t have one good guy, they’re both quite dark.



​

I’m curious because Vlad goes out on this journey and encounters witches and Caligula, the air of the supernatural is all around. For your character are people aware of the supernatural in this land or is this something that they don’t believe in? Is there a belief system in the supernatural?

DC: No there is not but we’ve become more and more aware, we’re like the audience I suppose. We see rather strange things happen and we have to take notice of them but we’re in the real world and we have a belief that could possibly be true by the end of the film we start to go, ‘Do you believe this guy has supernatural powers?’ or what we suppose he may be about but it’s not a world in which we exist where it’s the norm.


​

Do you have characters around you? Like do you have a right hand man?

DC: Do I?


​

Yea, like any kind of supporting character that you are close with?

DC: Yes I do. I have one that I confide in that I kill. So there are but he’s not particularly that pleasant to them and they’re all again another way to highlight the terror he spreads among people is that those people that are close to you are very much fearful of you – in the way that they behave around you, in the way they treat you is not the representation of how dangerous he is. That really helps me as an actor. We had a huge scene the other day where I have all my people around me and he comes into the tent, it’s a very long scene, it’s very rare long scene, its five or six pages long. It’s really good well, written dialogue, it’s wonderful cause all of my people are around me and they are very timid and frightened worried about seeing this situation unfold and that’s when I reveal to them that this person who enters the tent I know very well. Or who is one of my closest, oldest and dearest friends from childhood which is very unsettling the way everyone is behaving around me. It’s so fun to play off that energy because you’re immediately in that position of power and you don’t have to do anything aggressive or dangerous. In fact the more you play against that and the kinder you are, and the softer you are the more I think terrifying it is.



​

Can you talk about how your character learns about the supernatural elements or does he learn a little too late?

DC: He learns too late and he thinks he can overpower it. Well, he does use it to his advantage when he finally believes in it. He uses tricks that he knows will affect and weaken but it takes him a long time to convince.



​

When we were on set yesterday we were talking to everyone else about, not like the negative stigma, that people could be skeptical about another vampire film or about a different take on Dracula what was it for you that attracted you to the project and also what would you tell people who might say, ‘Oh, it’s just another Dracula film.’

DC: I keep forgetting I actually have to keep being reminded that it’s a Dracula film. For me it was very much a film about the history of Vlad The Impaler and where that story came. It’s a very different take on it and a really clever twist on the story. It’s going to look completely epic and beautiful. They’re shooting it on film and there were some very distinctive characterizations within it. I think it’s unlike any other Dracula. I find it amazing that they’re actually calling it that because for me it felt like something very, very different. I like the idea that they have chosen where he comes from who he was and why he came from that world and why he was part of the Turks world. And then what he became. I think it’s a really clever take on it. Within that story I’m the one who gives all the exposition when all that’s taking place.



​

Coming into this film were you able to offer any useful vampire advice to your costar? Dealing with fangs? Things that might be useful?

DC: It’s quite funny no but there are things I overhear that are the same problems that I’ve had which I’ve dealt with. I don’t have to this time but I’ve had to do the prosthetics and the teeth in a way which the biting looks good and how painful it can be if you get it wrong. You can take chunks of people’s face out if you’re not careful. I kept quite. I like to see those things happen. I often go yea I coulda told you about that (laughs).



​

What’s one thing you’re really excited for people to see in this movie?

DC: I’ve shot a few scenes and I haven’t been around during the entire thing, I think from reading it and from seeing what I have seen, I think the dynamic between the relationships. Action is one thing and if you love that than great this is going to have plenty of it; really big, brutal, dangerous, great set pieces and fights. They’re going to all look amazing. I think more than that if that tires you or if that is just not enough, then at the heart of it there’s actually a brotherly relationship that comes about that breaks down and a beautiful love story and a story about a family and a man who tries to defend his family – and then you have the mystical world and actually the prosthetics of how they made those characters look is extraordinary. There’s a combination of lots of things but essentially the reason I’m drawn to something is there has to be an intriguing story at the middle of it. It can’t just be about explosions or car races or whatever it is – there has to be a story for me, because that’s what I like and that’s what people will be drawn to.



​

Is there a chance for an ongoing rivalry between your character and Vlad if there are future films? Or is this a definitive end to your character?

DC: I’ve heard before it’s a definitive end and then I’ve been dound myself a few years down the line there again. I don’t know there are tons of possibilities as there always is, people never know where they’re going to take a story. Which makes sense it makes it terribly exciting, unless you’re dead, dead but in a film with this title, you’re never dead, dead. Who knows? We’ll see.




​

Did you a lot of research into the history of your character, the actual man?

DC: Yea I did. It’s kind of endless and fascinating and I didn’t know, admittedly I knew very, very little and all that stuff is great and you’re learning so much. How helpful it is, I’m never really quite sure because you’re developing or creating something that needs to function within what you’re making. Of course it’s good to have all this wealth of information to understand where he comes from and how powerful he was, and how determined he was. He threw his dad off the thrown, he demanded that his dad stand down and took over and was a much more military capable man than his father. So all that stuff is helpful but actually you have to bring in something that works within the framework of the story. It will be so interesting to know – because now when you play people and do something biographical you can watch stuff of them. You know you’re getting quite close, you know you sound like them, I just have absolutely no idea [what he sounds like] which is comforting in a way because you start from scratch and you can make him whoever you really want to be most effective. Maybe he was horribly chilling and hopefully some sort of charm or kindness in the beginning. Was he really like that? Probably not, but you can do what you like.

[h=1]‘Dracula Untold’ Begins Universal’s Monster Movie Shared Universe[/h]


Tomorrow, Universal will begin the international theatrical rollout for Dracula Untold, an origin story that reveals the events and choices that set human Vlad Tepes (Luke Evans) on a path to becoming the infamous vampire known as Count Dracula. As such, rumors have been circulating about whether or not the film will be part of Universal’s reboot of its Shared Monsters Universe. According to producer Alissa Phillips (see above), it’s currently intended to be part of the relaunch.


Certain members of the Screen Rant staff have seen Dracula Untold (look for our review when it arrive in the U.S. next week) and can confirm that the film does indeed feature material that appears to be setup for a fresh Shared Monsters Universe – something that early reviews for the movie have likewise alluded to.

Phillips, when interviewed by HeyUGuys, confirmed that Dracula Untold is designed to be part of the Universal Monsters Universe relaunch that has Alex Kurtzman (writer of Star Trek and Transformers) and Chris Morgan (writer on recent Fast and the Furious series) onboard serving as its creative architects. Potential sequels were something the Dracula Untold production team had in mind from the start, but Phillips says the monsters universe ties were a more recent addition.

“['Dracula Untold' is] part of the monster launch, the revamp, yeah. I was really excited to be a part of that. When we started out, we weren’t, but then we found out that they were gonna do it. Working with Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan, who are very much a part of creating ‘The Mummy’ [reboot] and the other ones, it’s been fun to be a part of that.”


​

Badass Digest has been informed by its sources that Dracula Untold reshoots were conducted to allow the film to better fit the new Monsters universe, and Phillip’s comments above lend more credibility to those claims. Mind you, that shouldn’t have required too much tweaking of director Gary Shore’s Dracula origins film, since it primarily takes place in the 15th century. By comparison, the next Monsters installment – The Mummy - is set in the present-day, and most of the upcoming Monster films (such as the one that Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley is writing) ought to take place well after Dracula Untold.

Early reviews for Dracula Untold have been pretty weak, but both Evans and Games of Thrones star Charles Dance – as the creature that gives Dracula his powers – have earned top marks for their performances in the film. That is good news too since, without giving way too much, those are the characters in Dracula Untold that are most likely to have an impact on the future of the relaunched Shared Monsters Universe.


We could end up with a situation where one (or both) of those characters end up functioning as connective tissue for the Universal Monsters World. That includes them showing up in other monsters’ films – like how certain players in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Nick Fury, Loki, and so on) are continually woven in and out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – serving as allies and/or antagonists for other protagonists, as is needed.

In short: this shouldn’t be the last we see of Evans’ Dracula (and, possibly, Dance’s character), even if Dracula Untold ends up doing weaker-than-expected box office business – and thus, becomes a one-off in the Universal Monsters Universe, much as The Incredible Hulk currently is to the MCU. As always, we’ll keep you up to speed on the situation.


Dracula Untold opens in U.S. theaters on October 10th, 2014. The Mummy arrives in theaters on June 24th, 2016.
