I would have loved to do what Dario Argento is doing at the moment - shooting a new version of
Dracula. It would not be in 3D, that's for sure - who needs this crap, anyway?
However, I'd love to shoot it on classic film - with a nice amount of real grain.
It would begin with a sepia coloured flashback - telling us some real facts about Vlad Țepeș.
As for the plot: basically the way Bram Stoker created it. But - and that's a big fat 'but' - with a decent amount of splatter and one single real nice gore scene at the climax (although I don't have an idea which character I'd pay the compliment).
As for the cast: here you are.
The male main characters:
- Count Dracula / Vlad Țepeș:
Graham McTavish
- Doctor Abraham Van Helsing:
Jack Nicholson
- Arthur Holmwood:
Johnny Depp
- Jonathan Harker:
Robert Pattinson
- Quincey Morris:
George Clooney The female main characters:
- Mina Harker:
Rose McGowan
- Lucy Westenra:
Milla Jovovich The rest:
- Doctor Seward:
Josh Brolin
- James Renfield:
Quentin Tarantino
- Maria Ouspenskaya:
Vanessa Redgrave
- "The Brides of Dracula":
Juliette Lewis,
Eva Green,
Monica Bellucci
- "The Man from the Woods"*:
John Jarratt
- Female Servant Olga*:
Conchata Ferrell
As for the production: I don't care. But I sure would love to have Tom Savini doing the make-up.
