Dracula reboot described as faithful yet different.

Sounds good. I like the idea of a new faithful approach to the novel. The story and character are so well trodden, but really trying to approach the adaptation faithfully is something that hasn't been attempted all that much. The letters and journals presented as voiceovers in the Coppola version came close but there are some definite liberties taken with the character and the story.

Also this quote from the article bothered me:

"The most well-known adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula is the 1992 movie of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola."


Really? It's certainly among them, but you can definitively say that it's better known than the original Todd Browning film? I don’t but that.


Sebastian Stan would not be my choice. For one he may not be old enough, but they'd play around with aging him to be sure. But I also don't know that he has the presence or charisma to pull off the allure that is necessary.

We'll see. I look forward to what Kusama has in store. Don't know about the writers, but I like her recent directorial output.
