New 'Dracula Untold' Trailer Explores the Prince's Origins

Movies about Dracula will never die and now thanks to Legendary Pictures, we get to see the origins of Vlad Tepes in "Dracula Untold" because "Every Bloodline Has a Beginning." Yes it does. Luke Evans stars as that simple dude who just wants to protect his family and country and will drink anything in that quest. A hero turned monster who's madly in love? What a perfect date movie for the Halloween season.

This new trailer for the Gary Shore-directed horror/thriller has a delightful "Game of Thrones" feel and wait...what's this? Is that Tywin Lannister aka Charles Dance in a key role? Why yes it is! Watch closely.

"Dracula Untold" conquers your local theater on October 17 and in addition to Evans and Dance, it stars Dominic Cooper, Samantha Barks, and Sarah Gadon.

Will Norman Reedus Be in a Reboot of 'The Crow?'

An exclusive over at Schmoes Know is giving us some news on one of our favorite zombie hunters. According to their mysterious source, The Phantom, Norman Reedus may be joining the cast of a reboot based on James O’Barr’s 1989 comic book, “The Crow.” Of course, the original film came out in 1994 and starred Brandon Lee (who was tragically killed while filming).

Yes folks, another reboot, but if Reedus is cast as “James," like rumor has it, it could be a huge audience draw. Luke Evans has already been cast to portray resurrected rock musician, “Eric Draven” and even took to his Twitter to let everyone know the intensity of his training for the role.

Another rumor had it that Kristen Stewart (“Twilight”) was being looked at to play “Shelley,” but this doesn’t seem to be coming to fruition because producers didn’t think she’d attract an audience. More casting news is to follow and we’ll keep you posted.

What are your thoughts on all of these reboots? Do you want to see Reedus in this role? Could this mean he’s making a departure from his role of “Daryl” on “The Walking Dead?”

Universal Pictures has officially changed the title of their new film from "Dracula: Year Zero" to "Dracula Untold."

Directed by newcomer, Gary Shore and written by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, this take on the Bram Stoker classic will mingle vampire mythos with the true story of Transylvanian Prince, Vlad the Impaler, to create an origin story for the infamous Count Dracula.

According to Bloody Disgusting, the film paints Vlad as a tragic and flawed hero, who risks his very soul in order to save his wife and child from a Turkish horde.

Luke Evans ("Immortals") will be portraying Vlad, with Sarah Gadon and Dominic Cooper co-starring in this epic tale. The film is currently in production and is set for release on October 3, 2014.
