Brad Pitt will produce a film about Dracula

The production company founded by American actor Brad Pitt will produce, in collaboration with Summit Entertainment, the feature film “Vlad”, inspired by the legends surrounding Count Dracula.

This project film will benefit from a script by actor Charlie Hunnam, while directing the film will be Anthony Mandler, a popular music video director who has already worked with Rihanna and Eminem.

“Vlad” will present the story of young prince Dracula, anticipating the rise of future ruler Vlad the Impaler, the Wallachian monarch behind the myth of Dracula. Summit Entertainment hopes to make “a bold film about a radical period in history”.
