Dracula Untold release date is now on October 10 instead of the previously announced October 17, according to Universal Pictures, to make way for their other film offerings for the Halloween season.
The Dracula Untold full movie follows a new origin story for Dracula. In this re-imagining of the Bram Stoker character, according to the Dracula Untold plot leaked to media, the young Prince Vlad would have to sacrifice everything in order to save his family and his people from the approaching armies of the Ottoman Empire. Led by Sultan Mehmed, the numerically more superior invaders want to take possession and control of his lands and kingdom. Vlad left with no choice makes a pact with an ancient evil force that lives on top of a mountain. The ancient one gives Vlad a cup of his own blood to drink. Once he did, according to the Dracula Untold spoilers, Vlad turned into a vampire with great supernatural powers, which include the ability to fly, to become invisible, to teleport, and to transform himself into a horde of bats. And with his frightening new powers, he fights off the invaders from the Ottoman Empire. He saves his people. As said by the boy shown at a scene from the Dracula Untold trailer, "Sometimes the world doesn't need another hero. Sometimes what it needs is a monster."
Directed by Gary Shore from a screenplay written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, Dracula Untold is headlined by Luke Evans who plays Vlad III Tepes, the man who would later be better known as Dracula. He is joined in the cast by Sarah Gadon (as Vlad's wife Mirena), Dominic Cooper (as Sultan Mehmed), Samantha Barks (as the witch Baba Yaga), Art Parkinson (as Vlad's son Ingeras), and Charles Dance (as the ancient evil force) along with Charlie Cox, Will Houston, Ferdinand Kingsley, Noah Huntley, Dilan Gwyn, Zach McGowan, Ronan Vibert, Diarmaid Murtagh, Thor Kristjansson, and Joseph Long.
