Summit Goes From Twilight to Dracula

Summit Entertainment has had some overwhelming success with Twilight and now it looks like they will be making yet another vampire film. Only this time this will probably appeal to a lot more of us than Twilight has. The company has picked up "Vlad," a script by actor Charlie Hunnam, and is in negotiations with music video and photographer Anthony Mandler to direct the project. Brad Pitt will be producing.

"Vlad" centers on Dracula as a young prince; he is known to history as Vlad the Impaler, the man behind the Dracula myth. So far that is the only details given about the actual plot. Now knowing that Summit is behind this I don't know if I like the fact that they will be handling "young Dracula". All I can see is an angsty teenager. Hopefully they plan on targeting a totally different audience with this vampire tale.
