Always thought Mark Strong would play a perfect Dracula

Agree with Grif, this character just needs to go away for about 10 years!

AlexDeLarge87 - 4/26/2013, 7:01 AM

Who cares its a vampire movie. As long as its a good one im happy. Theres too many bad ones.

AlexDeLarge87 - 4/26/2013, 7:05 AM

But some should make a movie about like Goblins or Gargoyles for a change.

AlexDeLarge87 - 4/26/2013, 7:09 AM

Speaking of Gargoyles...

Bring on Goliath and his winged buddies.

@AlexDeLarge87

Agreed. A live action Gargoyles movie would be incredibly awesome.
