Dracula Untold is the reboot of this famous series that premiered in 2014. It stars Luke Evans, Dominic Cooper, Charles Dance, Sarah Gadon, Zach McGowan, and Art Parkinson. The director is Gary Shore.
Luke Evans plays Vlad Tepes, prince of Wallachia and Transylvania. He refuses to carry out a request from the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire Mehmed II (Dominic Cooper), which consisted in handing over a thousand children to become janissaries. Such an action would imply going to war with a friend from long ago, so he makes a diabolical pact with a demonic being, where for 72 hours, he could not drink human blood; if he did, he would become a sinister being for eternity.
Pokémon: Ultimate Journeys: The Series (Season 1)
