I don't know. I generally like Gatiss, but this article got me worried: https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-02-01/dracula-will-be-the-hero-of-his-own-story-in-radical-reinterpretation-by-sherlock-creators/
The actor playing Drac does look nasty though. And they seem to want the character to be villainous.
These stories are part of a bigger "Elseworlds" label, in which Batman encounters more than just vampires. "Haunted Gotham" is a spiritual sequel to Red Rain, another book I recommend. Altogether, the Elseworlds collections are a must-read for Batman fans who are active in this thread. (As an aside, some of the more contested visual elements of BvS have a bit of an origin in this title, so for that reason alone, I think more people should explore the wider Batman universe. ;-))
That was a fantastic, totally bonkers, anything-goes trilogy. Very entertaining.
Dan Stevens, who some here have suggested for Bond, plays Arthur Holmwood.
Ouch. Little I have seen of it... It's bad! Casting Warren as Dracula is like casting Leonardo Di Caprio as Bond. How the heck is that supposed to work?
and Jack Palance had played Scaramanga in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN
I've only seen it once, and you're not missing much. I personally don't mind versions of the novel that take extreme liberties with the story and or characters. However, this is yet another version that feels like a Dracula adaptation without Dracula. Marc Warren could be playing any random vampire character more in the style of Anne Rice or Twilight. There's really nothing remotely about his look or performance that shouts "Dracula" to me.
Good comparison.
Here's one of my favourite passages :
This is one I've never seen, but have a feeling I'd like in spite of the bad word of mouth. Kretschmann looks like a great Dracula.
How close is it to the novel I wonder.
I'm not surprised. Ironic for a novel that is, consciously or unconsciously, a piece of Catholic propaganda (and I know Bram Stoker was officially protestant).
And what about Donald Duck, you might say ? I'm glad you asked !
That wouldn't be difficult.
Bram Stoker Dracula has easily the most impressive sountrack of them all. with a haunting love theme.
True but this soundtrack is really awesome, easily one of my more favorite ones.
