FrightFest's Alan Jones posted the news on Twitter

"Just announced, Dario Argento's DRACULA in 3D, filming in Italy January, period setting."

There isn't much more online about it yet. All that is known is that it will apparently be a realistic take..whatever that means! Will we be seeing a fangless Drac extracting blood via needle or something? Its also supposed to be..

"a faithful translation of the Bram Stoker novel."

If you haven't heard of Argento he's an Italian director that is very highly thought of among horror buffs. His most famous films are probably Tenebrae, Susperia and the controversial Opera. I always thought he was a bit over rated myself, although there is no denying his style and influence as well as his very inventive use of gore! As for the more faithful adaptation of the novel, well I always though Coppola's was pretty close, although even that couldn't resist adding the love element. For anyone who has never read Stoker's novel, his Dracula is a cold blooded monster, no reincarnated soul mates in that book I tell ya! Anyway, Dracula has long been a staple of horror films, comics and tv and I have always been a fan so I'm looking forward to this.

Sweet, the true Dracula in all his cold glory. Plus it gives us the real Van Helsing which would be nice to see

The funny thing is, there have really only been 2 movies that followed the book..Coppola's and a TV movie back in the 80s. The rest just used the character and put him in different circumstances. The Hammer movies were so different they may as well have called the films something else.

Awesome news! It's going to be hard to beat the 1993 version though.

Great news. Now Del Toro needs to hurry up and give us Frankenstein.
ecksmanfan - 5/13/2010, 9:23 PM
Could be interesting. I haven't seen his films, may have to check them out!
StuckInPanels - 5/13/2010, 9:58 PM
when I think of a Romanian Vampire traveling to London feasting on the blood of people...I think of Italians.lol. theres like 3 countries at play here. Italian, England, and Romania. Plus the fact its in 3D will make it much more awesome
joncochino - 5/13/2010, 10:57 PM

StuckInPanels - 5/14/2010, 4:59 AM

Hopefully it is not dumb like that Dracula with Gary Oldman and Wynona Ryder that was stupid. If done right this could be good.
