They've tried to be faithful to the book before. Francis Ford Coppola did that (kind of) and there was a was mini-series that also did it.

I'd skip the formalities and just have him meet Frankenstein or the Wolfman.

Well, none of them has really been faithful… Coppola added the ridiculous romance subplot that ruined the character and messed up the plot (and made a few other changes). The 1970s miniseries was obviously not a movie—and, while far more faithful than Coppola, changed character relationships and Dracula’s appearance and excised certain key scenes.

Now, as I mentioned, I’m not usually a faithful-to-source absolutist—but in this case doing a faithful adaptation, after so many versions that just used elements, would be the real surprise, and it would work (I think) because the book is so cinematic.
