Is Gary Oldman not the BEST Dracula?!

He is and Hopkins is also the best Van Helsing.

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNDDDDSSSSSSSSS

>>69312524

I loved them both in that movie. However I dont think that Keanu was the perfect man for the role... would you agree?

I see your point but, technically thats not Dracula, it was count Orlok... and Nosferatu is GOAT just like Oldman in Dracula

This movie owns and Dafoe does a killer job. One of my dreams in life is to make a movie called Shadow of the Shadow of the Vampire, it's a movie about how while Dafoe was making this movie he was revealed to be a vampire and had it covered up

People forget this is a fucking coppola movie. I actually love it but fuck if keanu was a mistake. It could have been a classic like the godfather of apocalypse now.

What does tv think of my idea

PTA directs Dracula.
Daniel Day Lewis as Dracula
Paul Dano as Johnathan Harker
Joaquin Pheonix as Renfield

brilliant

Sure, they could have done a lot better than Keanu with a horrible british accent but they probably felt he was necessary to sell it.

This is one of those movies that made an impression on me when I was a child. The theme "love remembered" will always be inscribed on my brain.

Also his armor, while cools, has always looked a little off to me. It's like it is made out of almonds or something.

I just want to bury my face in that cleavage. No wonder Dracula went bonkers that some sad fuck like Keanu was porking his woman.
>>
>>69314060

i think it was meant to represent muscles with the skin stripped. it goes well with the whole blood and flesh is life theme of movie. Also i think it was made to be so impressive purley to help with the visual establishing of Dracula as an extreme person
>>
>>69313469

maybe you are right, but my personal view is that someone like Harrison Ford would have been more suited for the role.

Being Gary Oldman in that scene must have been hard.
In more ways than one.

This was on last night. Felt like a shitty 60s movie with the overacting and the overall quality of production. Also that chinless Dracula who looks like a janitor wouldn't seduce a fly.

Is this really well liked?

So it's starting to sound like Dracula Untold is gonna be ignored for the Universal Monster universe and they're gonna soft reboot with Tom Cruise's Mummy.

If that's the case who would you want to see as the inevitable new Dracula? Cumberbatch or Redmayne or one of those guys is the easy obvious choice so hopefully they go somewhere more interesting.

>>69315485
Jered Leto he's just as old as the legend and can pull of sinister pretty well once you see suicide squad.
>>
>>69315485
I actually liked Untold. It has plenty of flaws, but I still like some of the things they did with it. The movie did well overseas and "Dracula" is a bigger name than Wolfman or Creature so I Untold isn't The Incredible Hulk of the Universal Monster Universe.

>>69315909
I like Leto, but he looks fucking terrible as the Joker and nobody's seen SS so you can't say he can pull of "sinister" once it comes out.

Can a classic horror movie starring Dracula with a winding road shot to his castle and bats and shit ever work today?
>>
>>69316517
kek would watch a movie about that
>>
>>69316639

Only for camp or nostalgia like the Van Helsing movie.

Victorian's didn't actually know shit about the world. The foreign unexplored unknown was frightening. Dracula and Transylvania and vampires and castle could actually exist for all they know. There is no unexplored unknown anymore. That's why Alien had to go into space and now we've even covered that base.

what was dracula doing before he was a reclusive vampire. does he have a backstory?

He was Vlad Tepes. After the fall of his empire he was basically banging his three wives, killing the locals and planning his plot to go to America.

Christopher Lee in 1968

These are the best Dracula along with Gary Oldman. Peter Cushing as Van Helsing is unbeatable.

Why is Dracula a twizzler dog?

Why isn't there just a straight up adaptation of Vlad the impaler without the vampire mythos attached to it?

It's not as if the guy had a boring life. It's full of betrayal and gore.
>>
Trying to cash in on the cinematic universe shit is a blunder on Universal's part for the sheer fact nobody really knows or gives a shit about their 'classic' monsters. Frankenstein and the Gillman are never going to have the pull that Marvel has for general audiences. Nobody has seen these movies in decades.

A lot of the aspects of the character definitely appeal to Nips. He's "foppish" and opulent and definitely sexual. Maybe a little Byronic
