Coming up on The Picture Show: 

Irish director Gary Shore releases his first feature this week with Dracula: Untold. The director from Dublin, who previously worked on commercials and music videos, will join us on The Picture Show to explain how he came to make his film debut with a CGI dominated, Bram Stoker classic. Also on the show are the movie's stars Luke Evans and Sarah Gadon. 

Dracula: Untold tells the story of Vlad Tepes who, facing threats to his kingdom and his family, looks to make a deal with dangerous supernatural forces - without succumbing to the darkness himself.

And, director Ross Whitaker is in studio to tell us about making The Mark Pollock Story.
