DRACULA YEAR ZERO Returns from the Dead
By chance, if you are a commercial director you really have the chance to seat in director’s chair for feature film sooner rather than later. Gary Shore (The Draft) is certainly one of these guys.
He decided to use his precious experience to work within a limited budget to direct the film, complete with a new draft of the screenplay from its originators, writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (a new Flash Gordon and the new Clue).
Sam Worthington in Alex Proyas’ Dracula: Year Zero
Ok, it’s official now. Sam Worthington will play the lead in the upcoming Alex Proyas’ thriller Dracula: Year Zero.
And when we say lead role, we mean that Australian actor will play Prince Vlad, who is believed to have been the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
“Dracula: Year Zero explores the origin of Dracula, weaving vampire mythology with the true history of Prince Vlad the Impaler.
It seeks to depict Dracula as a flawed hero in a tragic love story set in a dark age of magic and war.”
The story is an origin tale of Vlad III the Impaler, the Romanian royal who, as we mentioned, inspired Bram Stoker’s vampire tale.
It centers on how Vlad became the creature; the choices that he made to make him into the tragic character.
Alex Proyas (Dark City, I, Robot, Knowing) will direct the picture from a script written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.
