Universal Pictures casting down under for Michael De Luca feature film 'Dracula Year Zero'

Universal Pictures and Michael De Luca Productions are in the pre-production stages for the upcoming feature film Dracula Year Zero. Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless penned the script, which centers on the origin of Dracula, mixing vampire mythology with the true history of Prince Vlad the Impaler. The story depicts Dracula as a flawed hero in a tragic love story set in a dark age of magic and war.

Sam Worthington has signed on to star as Prince Vlad and Alex Proyas will direct the film. Proyas is an Australian filmmaker who produced, directed, and co-wrote the box-office hit film "Knowing", which was filmed in Melbourne. Proyas is owner of Mystery Clock Cinema, which co-produced "Knowing" with Summit Entertainment.

Filming will begin in November 2010. No release date has been announced.

Story:

The story chronicles the epic origin of Dracula, weaving vampire mythology with the true history of Prince Vlad the Impaler. It depicts Dracula as a flawed hero in a tragic love story set in a dark age of magic and war, repositioning him more as a vengeful hero than the monster seen in Bram Stoker's classic novel.
