More than a decade later, after spending most of the 1980s working on the script here and there, Hart's vision came to life.
Hart was so " blown away" by what he read, particularly in comparison to the smoothed-over nature of many of the novel's screen adaptations, that he began imagining his own, more faithful, version of a Dracula screenplay. Hart, who decided amid the latest vampire pop culture wave to go back to the beginning, and picked up Stoker's novel for the first time. Among the interested readers was screenwriter James V. The journey to making Bram Stoker's Dracula actually began in the late 1970s, when another vampire classic-Anne Rice's debut novel Interview with the Vampire-was getting everyone interested in creatures of the night again. Work on Bram Stoker's Dracula began in the 1970s. From casting to storyboarding to on-set controversy, here are some facts about the making of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The result is a film that looks like no other Dracula before or since, but it wasn't easy to arrive at that point. In the early 1990s, fresh off The Godfather Part III, Coppola took an interest in a new adaptation of Dracula, Bram Stoker's classic novel that's widely credited with ushering in on our modern fascination with vampires.Ĭoppola, eager to make a version of Dracula that would stand out from the countless adaptations that came before, envisioned a film that would make elegant and elaborate use of soundstages, practical effects, extravagant costumes, and more. Though director Francis Ford Coppola is perhaps best known for the string of classics he produced in the 1970s-including The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Part II, and Apocalypse Now-for a certain kind of film fan, there's another classic in the Coppola filmography very much worth constant revisiting.
