Looks like the Gary Oldman version and that's fine by me.

Neat!!

Apparently Danny Elfman is doing the music, too. Definitely looks like it's taking its cues from Bram Stoker's Dracula.

How many more times will they keep telling the same story? I did read a good Vampire book, but it was more of the Vampire only went after the really shitty people, and wanted to make things right so he would end up in heaven. So he worked with a priest. I thought that was a clever twist.

If they insist in making the same fucking movies, at least put a cool twist, and or make it stand out.
I'm finding it difficult to masturbate to this. I'm trying, I just have so little to work with...

I love everything Dracula, especially the 1931 version. But it's true, how many times can you make the same story into a movie? The German silent film Nosferatu was such a blatant rip off that Bram Stoker's Widow sued and won. All prints were supposed to be destroyed. Thankfully they weren't. But that just means extra versions of the Dracula story, like the recent version of Nosferatu.

Anybody like the 1979 the Langela version? They cut the story done by a third by having the film open with Dracula's arrival in London. It's pretty good, but it has the worst ending ever. Dracula is supposed to be flown into the sky in daylight. But the special effect is so bad it doesn't resemble a human figure at all.
My song tribute to the original Dracula:
