A biopic of Bela Lugosi, the Hungarian star of stage and screen who originated the iconic role of Dracula both on Broadway and in the classic 1931 Universal horror film. The project will focus on a younger Lugosi, capturing his meteoric rise to become one of cinema’s most enduring and recognizable figures, chronicling his immigration from Hungary and rise to stardom, both as the star of Dracula onstage and onscreen, as well as his precipitous fall after declining the role of Frankenstein, which went to his future rival Boris Karloff.
