MUMBAI: BizTV network is gearing itself to present and promote its first ever 3D Dracula film, Saint Dracula, at the European Film Market (EFM), a part of the Berlin Film Festival.
The entire project is designed by executive producer Sohan Roy, who had produced and directed DAM 999.
"Unlike Bram Stroker‘s Dracula, which sends a chill through the spine, Saint Dracula portrays a different dimension of the vampire, who holds a hero figure in the nation of Romania and is christened as a saint in the Orthodox congregation of the nation," averred Roy, while describing his film.
The film‘s plot is set in the 20th century with Dracula falling in love with a nun who is apparently being used by the Catholic Church to conspire against the vampire.
While Mitch Powell plays the vampire, others in the cast include Patricia Duarte, Daniel Shayler, Suzanne Roche, Anna Burkholder and Lawrence Larkin. Co-produced by Prabhiraj, the film has been written and directed by Malayalam director Rupesh Paul.
The film is slated for release in December.
