Previously, this date was held by Fox's Frankenstein, but they pushed back that movie's release to January, 2015.

While this movie has been referred to as Dracula: Year Zero for years and then simply Dracula, the official title of the movie is now Dracula Untold. Gary Shore will direct the film from a script written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. Dracula Untold will star Luke Evans in the lead role, along with Zach McGowan, Dominic Cooper, and Sarah Gadon.
