Almost an entire century after the worlds cinematic introduction to Dracula placed audiences under his haunting spell, the studio that pioneered the genre reawakens one of legends most captivating figures in an action-adventure that heralds a pulse-pounding rebirth of the age of monsters.

Luke Evans transforms from the cursed man history knows as Vlad the Impaler to an all-powerful creature of the night in Universal Pictures Dracula Untold, the origin story of the alluring immortal we have come to fear as the sun sets: Dracula.

The year is 1462, and Transylvania has enjoyed a prolonged period of peace under the just and fair rule of the battle-weary Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, and his beloved and brave wife, Mirena (SARAH GADON of The Amazing Spider-Man 2). Together, they have brokered peace for their country and ensured its people are well-protected, especially from the powerful Ottoman Empirean ever-expanding scourge that has its sights on global domination.

But when Sultan Mehmed II demands 1,000 of Wallachias boys, including Vlads own son, Ingeras be torn from their parents homes and forced to become child soldiers in his army, Vlad must decide: do the same as his father before him and give up his son to the sultan, or seek the help of a monster to defeat the Turks but ultimately doom his soul to a life of servitude.

Vlad journeys to Broken Tooth Mountain, where he encounters a foul demon and enters into a Faustian bargainone that gives the prince the strength of 100 men, the speed of a falling star and enough power to crush his enemies.
