By Ians English
Luke
Evans
has
recently
said
that
the
greatest
challenge
for
him
while
working
on
"Dracula
Untold" was
to
show
his
character
Vlad
Dracula
in
a
good
light.
"The
greatest
challenge
for
me
was
to
make
Dracula
more
related
(relatable).
Vlad
is
always
perceived
as
a
ruthless,
cold
warrior
and
who
does
really
dark
and
horrendous
things.
But
people
don't
know
that
he
also
has
family
and
was
loved
and
revered
by
his
people,
even
his
enemies," Evans
said
in
a
statement.
"All
of
them
respected
him
as
a
lawgiver,
leader
and
a
warrior.
So,
it
was
challenging
to
not
show
him
as
a
crazy
killer
but
a
person
who
stopped
enemy
invasion
to
his
people,"
he
added.
Based
on
the
novel
"Dracula"
by
Irish
novelist
Bram
Stoker,
"Dracula
Untold"
portrays
the
origin
story
of
its
title
character,
Count
Dracula.
It
goes
on
to
weave
vampire
mythology
with
the
true
history
of
Prince
Vlad
the
Impaler,
depicting
Dracula
as
a
flawed
hero
in
a
tragic
love
story
set
in
a
dark
age
of
magic
and
war.
The
movie
will
hit
screens
across
India
in
October.
