Universal has released the first Dracula Untold poster.  What was "untold"?  The origins of Dracula, which we were all aching to see, I guess.  I suppose tacking on "untold" is better than "Dracula: Origins" or the original title, "Dracula: Year Zero", but it's probably underwhelming no matter what because Dracula is pretty tired at this point.  Perhaps this origin story, which marks the feature directing debut of Gary Shore, is a fresh, interesting take on the character.  Part of that take apparently involves a cape comprised of flying rodents.

Hit the jump to check out the Dracula Untold poster.  The film opens October 17th and stars Luke Evans, Sarah Gadon, Diarmaid Murtagh, Dominic Cooper, and Samantha Barks. [Update: Universal has released a second poster, which we've added after the jump.]
