A few days ago it was announced that Brad Pitt would be working on a new Dracula remake called Vlad. Turns out it’s more of a historical piece, not a Dracula remake at all!

Turns out that the project isn’t quite what anyone expected. Yes, it’s based on the life of Vlad the Impaler, and yes, it’s intended to be a big, sweeping film with a lot of action. (’In the style of 300‘ keeps being used as a reference.)

But the film is about Vlad the man, rather than an adaptation of Dracula, and won’t touch on vampirism at all.

So says writer, Undeclared and Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam, to EW, as he describes his take.

“As the script stands now, we don’t touch on vampirism. That was my one non-negotiable area when we were developing it, and thankfully, nobody suggested that we should delve into it at the end. But you can clearly see the things that Bram Stoker took…. Vlad was such a brutal man, and the trick is to make him sympathetic”

Also, Brad Pitt isn’t starring in the film as of yet. He’s definitely producing it thought. This sounds like it would be a lot more interesting with the vampirism concept included. Especially with the popularity of vampires nowadays.
