After exploring the romantic angst of vampires in "Twilight," Summit Entertainment is developing an action-oriented take on the most famous of the fanged: Dracula.
The company has picked up "Vlad," a script by actor Charlie Hunnam, and is in negotiations with music video and photographer Anthony Mandler to direct the project.
Brad Pitt is producing with Dede Gardner via the duo's Plan B Entertainment production shingle.
''Vlad" centers on Dracula as a young prince, known as Vlad the Impaler, the man behind the Dracula myth.
Mandler is a music-video director who has worked with Rhianna (helming 10 of her videos), the Killers and Eminem.
With "Vlad," Summit hopes to make a visually edgy movie that will break a new talent.
