An official logline for the pic, courtesy of 1-2 Special:
What happens when a young and curious filmmaker challenges his creativity with the limitless possibilities of a fake A.I.? A surprising mix of various stories, from new and old times, about the original myth of Dracula: a vampire hunt, zombies, and Dracula crashing a strike, a science-fiction tale about Vlad the Impaler’s return, an adaptation of the first Romanian vampires novella, a tragic romance, a vulgar folktale, A.I. generated kitsch stories…and much more!
Jude is also behind “Frankenstein in Romania,” for which Sebastian Stan (“Thunderbolts,” “A Different Man”) is set to star, and Jude is going to write/direct. Said to combine the real-life existence of a secret CIA prison in Romania with the legend of Frankenstein’s monster. A beloved horror character is already being explored by filmmakers Guillermo del Toro and Maggie Gyllenhaal in their respective upcoming features.
You can view the new trailer for “Dracula” below as the horror comedy heads to theaters on October 29, perfect timing given the proximity to Halloween, and genre fans will likely be curious to check it out.
