Vlad centers on the bloodthirsty young Transylvanian prince who is known to history as Vlad the Impaler and who inspired the Dracula myth.
Rihanna's go to video director Anthony Mandler is lined up to helm the project, reports The Hollywood Reporter, which will be produced by Brad's Plan B company.
