Meet the new Vlad

New featurette reveals Vlad tepes as the monster

                                                                               

Are you ready to see the real Vlad? Universal has done it again, they have released an all new featurette showing the audience the new side to Dracula that were not fully shown in the trailers.

Is he a monster? or is he just protecting his family and people? We all know who Dracula is but the real question is How did he become the monster that he is known as today?

Vlad decides to drink the blood that the master vampire gives him without fully understanding the consequences and in the clip we see the effects it has on him. As the saying goes all good things come with a price.

You can watch the featurette here and witness for yourself the creature Vlad is becoming.

The film releases October 3rd, here in the UK.

First we will start off with our protagonist:

Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is our main character. He is a Hobbit of the
Shire and has no interest in adventures until gandalf gives him a little nudge
out the door. He goes on the long journey to the Lonely mountain to help Thorin
reclaim his homeland.

Next we have the Dwarves:

Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage)
is the leader of the company. He is the son
of Thrain and the Grandson of Thror.
He is the next in line to rule and is trying
to reclaim his homeland.

Fili (Dean O'Gorman) and Kili (Aidan Turner)
 are the youngest of all the Dwarves and are Thorin's
nephews that venture out on the Quest to reclaim
Erebor.

  

 From Left to right we have Dori (Mark Hadlow),
Nori (Jed Brophy) and Ori (Adam Brown).
These three are brothers, Ori draws and
writes and is seen in The LOTR when the
Fellowship go into the mines of Moria. He
is also the youngest between his brothers.

his powers for the good but he chooses to
use it for the opposite.

           

Gandalf (Ian Mckellen) is our main wizard who
gives Bilbo the adventure. He leaves the company
to look into what darker power lives in Middle
Earth by the orders of galadriel.

interest in the forest and looks after the
creatures. He is the one who discovers that the
Necromancer is still alive and that Dol Guldur
isn't abandoned.

Elrond (Hugo Weaving) is the lord of Rivendell.
He is half-elven and is part of the white
council.

Thranduil (Lee Pace) is the King of Mirkwood.
He is vain and doesn't care much about Dwarves.
He desires white gems from the Lonely Mountain
and only offers to help Thorin if he gives
him the jewels he wants.

  

   Legolas (Orlando Bloom) is thranduil's son.
   he cares for tauriel but follows in his father's
 footsteps. He also has a dislike in Dwarves
until LOTR where he befriends Gimli
(a Dwarf).

of the Elven-Guard in the Woodland
Realms. She is a Silvan Elf who
goes to help the Dwarves.

Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) is the lady of Lothlorien.
She gives gandalf the order to go to the High
Fells and keeps a watch over Middle-Earth.

Men:

This is the Master of laketown (Stephen Fry).
He is greedy and steals all of Laketown's
food and money. He doesn't like Bard so
he locks him in prison.

Alfrid (Ryan Gage) is the servant of the master
who also hates bard. He tells lies about him to
the master and tries to stop him and watch
his every move.

Bard (Luke Evans) is the ancestor of Girion
who was Lord of Dale. he is the bowman
and it is his duty to kill off Smaug with the
black Arrow. he lost his wife and lives
with his son and two daughters.

Orcs:

Azog (Manu Bennett) is the Pale Orc who
wants to kill the Dwarves and wants to
behead Thorin. He works for Sauron
(Necromancer).

Bolg (Conan Stevens) is the son of Azog.
He carries on with his father's work of hunting
down the dwarves.

An Old Hobbit:

Gollum (Andy Serkis) was once a hobbit called
Smeagol. When he found the One Ring he
became this creature and forgot about his
past.
