Dracula Year Zero Rises at Universal

[Roose Bolton]

Eh, I think it's too early to tell. Depending on whether it actually delivers from an acting/story standpoint and if the action scenes are suitably entertaining, the popularity of the Dracula brand, I could see this maybe doing 200 mil WW. But from just the one trailer I can't really discern much.

 

[Steamteck]

It looks fun to me. I love vampire and Dracula so I'll see it. I'm also not opposed to a new take that doesn't trivialize or make a character smaller than life or a soap opera.

 

[Gort Baringa]

Does anyone think that Bram Stoker's story, as he wrote it, could be made as a short miniseries?

I mean, in the novel there are very few scenes where the count makes an appearance, and except for the beginning of the story - at his castle - Dracula has very, very little dialog.

Because the book is so well written I believe this could be done successfully. The presence of the monster (behind the scenes) could be something of extreme dread throughout the telling of the story, and I would like to see this happen!

 

[Rowsdower!]

Apparently this costs 100 million dollars. Anyone think it might flop?

I don't have to think. I know. t:

So I guess it's still being called Dracula Year Zero in some countries?

Still looks fun to me

 

[Fallen Angel]

Am I the only one who thinks this could be a decent film?

 

[Roose Bolton]

I'm quite excited for it.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Just saw the trailer for this today, I like the look of it, love dark Dracula/vampire stories so this seems right up my alley.

 

[Radu Molasar]

Looks like it's going to flop.

 

[Marvolo]

I can't speak for the box office, but I think this will finish with 40-45% on RottenTomatoes.

I might see it at the theaters just depends on the mood I'm in that weekend and whether I feel like driving 30 minutes to the theater. It's not a movie that I'm dying to see.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Looks like it's going to flop.

The irony that someone using the name "Radu" is speaking against a movie about Vlad Tepes is just delicious.

 

[Radu Molasar]

The irony that someone using the name "Radu" is speaking against a movie about Vlad Tepes is just delicious.

Regardless, I'll give the movie a chance.

Probably

I don't know. Depending on the final product and if it's marketed well enough, it could surprise.

I think Universal is leaving money on the table by not letting this be R-rated. But PG-13 = more $$$$.

 

[Tim_Riggins]

That international trailer is quite badass, this could be a big surprise.

 

[DeadPresident]

Compared to the vampire blockbusters there have been in the last 5 years or so this is only going to be an improvement.

It looks like whoever the cinematographer is he's either seen or played the most recent Castlevania game.

[Tim_Riggins]

The cinematographer is the great John Schwartzman, he's done The Rock, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, The Green Hornet, The Amazing Spider-Man, Saving Mr Banks & Jurassic World.

The big plus: Dracula Untold is shot on film, yes yes yes !

 

[Lord]

Good to know it's well looking in the very least, not expecting a very good movie, but i'm hoping it can be as entertaining as Van Helsing, which was also a guilty pleasure of mine.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Why wouldn't you expect a good movie?

 

[Tim_Riggins]

Probably because some people think the movie looks silly with the bat fist or that kind of thing, I think it's a really cool & fresh take on it, and it promises to be very entertaining, and we all know Evans is going to kill it.
