action horror film directed by Gary Shore in his feature film debut
and written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.
Rather than focus on Irish novelist Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula,
the film creates an origin story for its title character, Count Dracula,
by re-imagining the story of Vlad the Impaler. Luke Evans portrays the title character,
and Sarah Gadon, Dominic Cooper, Art Parkinson, and Charles Dance appear in supporting roles.
Principal photography began on August 5, 2013, in Northern Ireland.
Universal Pictures released the film on October 10, 2014, in cinemas and IMAX.
Universal intends the film to be a reboot of the Universal Monsters Cinematic Universe.
Despite mixed critical reviews, with praise towards Luke Evans's performance and the story,
and criticism directed at the characterization,
Dracula Untold was a box office success grossing $215 million worldwide.
