Yesterday I reported on the upcoming Brad Pitt produced new “vampire movie” entitled Vlad, which is currently slated to begin production next year. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly this week, screenwriter and star of the hit biker drama Sons of Anarchy Charlie Hunnam clarified the direction of the film, stating that the film will not be a reinvention of Dracula, but will actually focus on the true story of the actual House of Dracula’s Vlad Tepes. “As the script stands now, we don’t touch on vampirism,” he told EW. “That was my one non-negotiable area when we were developing it, and thankfully, nobody suggested that we should delve into it at the end. But you can clearly see the things that Bram Stoker took…. Vlad was such a brutal man, and the trick is to make him sympathetic.” Interesting…I’m intrigued!
