Blumhouse and Universal is getting Karyn Kusama to direct a modern take on Dracula.

It just occurred to me they could update the story to be about a predatory movie producer.

He's getting a prequel for Disney+, apparently.

The BBC just had a modern take on Dracula. It was from the Sherlock guys so it was pretty meh. It was also a limited series so it didn't have a chance to out stay its welcome.

Considering I’ve never heard of the shipping fandom name it clearly didn’t do wel

I heard the first episode of the new Dracula was pretty good, the second was ok, and the third was mindbogglingly stupid.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Dracula related media really is a crapshoot. Speaking of which, the Castlevania cartoon's third season came out recently and is quite good.

I’ve only seen one of Kusama’s movies, the Invitation, but the direction was quite good while the script itself was boring as hell. I’ll give her Dracula a shot.

The Dracula actor has said there's early talk between the BBC and Netflix about a second season.

Steven Moffatt did say that its version of Dracula is supposed to be bi-homicidal, not bi-sexual.

Seriously, if you're doing a Dracula adaptation and Mads doesn't come to your mind right away, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

Alternatively, Mads for van Helsing, nobody for Dracula. The story will follow his victims and pursuers but Big D is never shown in person.

Yeah, I like Mads as Helsing in a Cushing sort of way. I feel like we've gotta see Dracula himself, but I'm so tired of suave charming sexy Dracula. I think he's got to have an animalistic, dangerous, or otherwordly vibe to him.

I want Anthony Hopkins to revive his version of Van Helsing in his own movie. I don't care if he's 82, or what the main story beats are. I just want more.

Re. Stephen Moffat, it all ends mindbogglingly stupid. He's the British knock-off of J.J. Abrams.

The last season of Sherlock is one of the worst things I've ever sat through. You'd need a pretty serious extension ladder to climb that far enough up your own rear end while writing it, and think what you were doing was worthwhile.

You aren't happy with the design and want changes. Rest assured, everyone at One Race Films and Universal are committed to making Vin Diesel the best character he can be.

That programme was a crime against humanity. By far the most indulgent Moffat & Gatiss effort yet. Absolute trash.

Makes sense because releasing now is a guaranteed flop. Even if postponing release gives you a much higher chance of failure, it still gives you a better shot than releasing now which is 100% doomed to fail because nobody wants to be in movie theaters right now.

Given that I wouldn't feel comfortable actually going to them (less because of me than my elderly father I regularly cook for, and, you know, society) I'm honestly glad that stuff I'd want to see out in the theater is getting pushed back, even if the studios' motivation is obviously protecting the bottom line.

Next major release (until it gets delayed) is Trolls World Tour on April 10th. After that is Black Widow on May 1st.

Saint Maud is scheduled for the 10th as well as Charm City Kings the following week, and Bad Trip and Antebellum the week after that. They aren't major major but they are wide releases. We'll see if those hold.
