Producer Talks Dracula Year Zero, 300 Angle

Seems that Dracula Year Zero is going to be an epic adventure piece and not just a vampire tale from what the producer Mike de Luca told Collider and frankly if done right ... I do not object. Mr De Luca tells Collider the following about the concept for YEAR ZERO;

in a moment of desperation [Vlad] looks at this mountain top in Transylvania that all the gypsies in his country say is haunted and full of bad black magic. And he's never believed in any of that supernatural kind of what he thinks is hogwash.

But in a moment of desperation he ascends that mountain to see if there's any truth to any kind of power that he could use to keep the invading army out. And he finds something that gets him to where we have come to know him as Dracula and uses that power source to kind of fight the Turks after he's changed.

I like films that show the before angle of our favorite villains much like Rob Zombies Halloween and hopefully it will be gory, sympathetic and packed full of carnage!
