Dominic Cooper has heaped praise on director Gary Shore for the way new film Dracula Untold looks.

Cooper is set to star alongside Luke Evans and Charles Dance in the Shore directed film, which is a Dracula origins story.

And the film is set to be a mix of live action and special effects and Cooper is excited for audiences to see what Shore has achieved.

Speaking to Total Film, the actor said: "There’s one particular sequence called ‘the hand of the bat’ that I can’t wait for the audience to see. There’s a superhero analogy throughout the film, and trust me, you wouldn’t have seen Vlad use those powers on a grand scale before.

"Fights need to look amazing and heroic but they need to feel disgusting. You need to be appalled by the violence, because that’s what a fight would be like.

"On a bigger scale, visually, he (Shore) mixes it well with the huge choreographed battle sequences which are stunning to watch. When you see a whole army of men taken down by one man, it’s also got to look realistic to a point.

"Whatever powers he’s capable of mustering, you still want to believe that his power is having an effect and it’s not just some CGI thing."

Dracula Untold will mark the first time that Cooper as teamed up with Shore, as the director is making his feature debut with this project.

We have already seen Cooper star in Need For Speed this year, and he has also completed work on the highly anticipated Warcraft.

Dracula Untold is released 3rd October.
