DRACULA UNTOLD is director Gary Shore's first feature film, that should be said upfront. But the veteran commercial helmer has been on Hollywood's radar for a while; first when a trailer for his proposed film CUP OF TEARS showed up online, and again when he made a teaser for THE WOLVERINE, a film he was in contention to helm. But the revisionist take on the Bram Stoker tale is his big moment to shine.

In the interview below, I talk to Shore about making the transition from commercials to features, casting his Dracula and his favorite scenes to shoot.
