Universal Pictures Ireland and Jameson Dublin International Film Festival are delighted to present a Charity Screening of the epic new action-adventure, ‘Dracula Untold’, in aid of St. Francis Hospice.
Special guests in attendance will be Irish director Gary Shore and cast members Luke Evans (‘Fast & Furious 6’, ‘Immortals’) and Sarah Gadon (‘A Dangerous Method’, ‘The Amazing Spider Man 2’).
Shot on location in Northern Ireland in 2013, the much anticipated film portrays the origin story of its title character, Count Dracula.
Director Gary Shore says: “I will screen my feature debut, ‘Dracula Untold’, with an audience for the very first time. Apart from the honor of this being in Dublin, I wanted to use this opportunity to recognize the great work of St. Francis Hospice. I cannot speak more highly of the people who work there and the service it provides to patients and families. Thank you JDIFF and St. Francis hospice for allowing me to do this.”
Ethel McKenna, Chief Executive Officer of St. Francis Hospice says: “We are absolutely delighted that Dublin filmmaker Gary Shore would dedicate his first screening to St. Francis Hospice. We are so deeply grateful to Gary, Universal Pictures Ireland and the Dublin International Film Festival for their support of this occasion.”
Grainne Humphreys, Festival Director, Jameson Dublin International Film Festival says: “Anyone who saw Gary Shore's wonderful short 2006 film ‘The Draft could see a filmmaker with a sophisticated visual sense matched with the bravura of a natural storyteller. Alongside his innovative advertising work, Gary was soon identified by Hollywood industry professionals as a talent to watch.”
The screening will take place on Tuesday September 30th at 7.30pm in The Savoy, O’Connell St. Tickets (€10 each) are available online from www.jdiff.com.
