Dario Argento's "Dracula 3D"
Marta Gastini (The Rite), Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner, Hobo With a Shotgun), Asia Argento (Land of the Dead), Miguel Angel Silvestre and Miriam Giovanelli will all star in Filmexport Group's "Dracula 3D".
To be helmed by Italian horror icon Dario Argento, the latest Vlad the Impaler pic is based on the original novel by Bram Stroker, about the vampire Dracula, an icon of twentieth century culture. Quote:

Harker's only a librarian in Horror of Dracula. In the book, he's a solicitor working on a real estate transaction.

Looking forward to this. I sure hope it's better than that crappy Francis Ford Coppola film.

I will undoubtedly watch this but only as a huge Dario Argento fan-I have very low expectations.

The box-office disappointment of MOTHER OF TEARS, which prevented him from securing a theatrical release in Italy for his subsequent GIALLO, couldn’t keep 70-year-old Italian master of horror Dario Argento away from the cameras. The love for cinema and the horror genre is so deeply rooted within the filmmaker’s heart that for his latest movie, he dared to tackle the icon created by Bram Stoker with DRACULA 3D, updating the classic tale with the best dimensional technology. “I have always been fascinated by this filmmaking system; therefore, when I was submitted the script, I immediately took the opportunity,” Argento explains to Fango during our visit to the Castle of Montalto Dora, near Turin, where most of the movie is being shot. German actor Thomas Kretschmann, who previously starred in Argento’s THE STENDHAL SYNDROME, follows in the footsteps of Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee and Gary Oldman as the Prince of the Night, opposed by iconic actor Rutger Hauer as Professor Van Helsing: “I’ve always admired him,” the director says of Hauer, “and in my opinion he is more interesting now as an actor than when he was young. He as this very powerful face, with eyes expressing a sort of fury. The wrinkles on his visage give him the aspect of someone whose life has forged him, and I thought he would be a wonderful Van Helsing. In this story, he is a very practical vampire hunter; he’s not much into religion and mysticism, he’s not relying too much on the Bible or the cross.” The movie’s plot is faithful to Stoker’s book, although Argento has introduced some of his own distinctive elements, like a fascination with insects. “I wanted to insert something original, so that the audience could recognize it as a Dario Argento movie. I then thought: Dracula is a creature that could mutate into a wolf, a bat and even into fog, so why couldn’t he transform also into a insect? So my Dracula will metamorphose into flies, a rat, a giant mantis and even a spider!” DRACULA 3D is targeting a release next March.

Ok I'm genuinely excited now. I just pray it turns out much better than Argento's awful version of Phantom Of The Opera.

Rutger Hauer as Van Helsing?
Now you have my attention...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrAgNlOfeoU I remember seeing this title in Fangoria's forecast, and my initial thoughts were just meh. And they haven't grown that much more positive. For one thing, I really don't like the abundance of cheap-looking cgi for the animals and Dracula's transformations. For another thing, I might get a lot of crap for saying this on a horror site, but I'm not a fan of Dario Argento. I've seen Suspiria, and I didn't like it. I've also seen Jennifer, his highly acclaimed Masters of Horror episode, and I thought it was stupid. The one thing that sells me on this, however, is the fact that Rutger Hauer is playing Van Helsing. I loved him in The Hitcher, as well as Hobo with a Shotgun. And I think he's the perfect casting choice for this role. Last edited by Haifisch; 09-19-2013 at 04:36 PM. |
