Dracula | Blumhouse

[Drizzle]

Nosferatu cough.

Not really the most faithful adaptation but definitely up there because of how horrifying this is:

 

[Fincher]

I like Horror of Dracula the best.

 

[Sawyer]

Welp, at least there's still Renfeld with Nic Cage.

That’s disappointing, especially since Jasmine Cephas Jones was going to play Mina.

I hope someday, Mina gets her due as a main character in a film and not just the object of Dracula’s lust. I remember hearing that they were going to do a series based on The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen that was much closer to the graphic novel (unlike the abomination that was the movie). If that ever happens, Mina should be the main character.

Mina was pretty much the main character in Francis Ford Coppola's version.

With so many adaptations and spinoffs of Dracula (second only to Sherlock Holmes), you've really got to do something special to stand out. Blumhouse is pretty hands off to the filmmaker from what I hear, but I guess something wasn't going right here.

I call it "The Morbius Effect."

Not really, but still unfortunate.

LOL maybe it is! If any good does come out of Morbius, maybe it will be that movie studios will be hesitant to green light so many damned vampire movies. I realize it’s ironic for a superhero movie fan to complain about market saturation, but goddamn, I feel like 1,000 vampire movies and Tv shows have come out in the past 20 years. It was a genre I used to like but I think Twilight and the 70 different versions of Dracula we’ve gotten really soured me on it. I’ll see that Nic Cage one just because it’s Nic Cage but other than that, I’m tired of vampires. Though I probably would have seen this one because of Jasmine.

Was a reason given for this getting canned?

 

[DarkKnight88]

“Creative differences”

I honestly can't remember a recent vampire flick outside of WWDITS?

This is a HUGE bummer to lose this AND Eggers' Nosferatu back to back. But opens up the market for my own Dracula script I've been tinkering on for years, I guess.
