Horror Dracula (2013 NBC)

[Kevin]

Well, here is a show that I seemed to have missed mention of before.

NBC is doing a "limited-series" the fall of 2013 that takes on Dracula, the Bram Stoker classic that has already been the inspiration of dozens, if not hundreds, of books/movies/TV/articles, over the years. This time it is Jonathan Rhys Meyers starring as the title character who, in this interpretation, is an American businessman in Victorian London society who is out for revenge against those who had cursed him centuries before.

I know that @Azhria Lilu is looking towards this because of the lead actor but I'm not sure the world really needs Dracula version.

The world needs a Dracula played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers.. oh yes it does (the show will probably be felgercarb though!)

Looks decent. I find that so much of the vampire tv shows lack horror and revolve to much around drama.

Loving the look of this. But then I love my vampire stories/movies/tv shows. I also love JRM I remember the first time I saw him on tv, it was in Gormenghast. Loved that show.

This looks like it might have potential & will definitely give it a chance.

But you'll still watch it just to see Rhys Meyers. It is the same reason my wife watches so many bad movies with Pitt or Clooney in them.

Pretty sure that's what I said...... we need Dracula Rhys Meyers

The world needs a Dracula Heather Locklear but it doesn't mean that it'll be any good.

It's just eyecandy... occasionally you just need eyecandy

Dracula doesn't premiere until 25 October on NBC (I think here in the UK we're getting it around the same time, maybe a week or later). It stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Dracula, who comes to Victorian-era England as an American entrepreneur and falls for Mina Harker (the double of his dead wife).

Am I the only one sad enough to be looking forward to this?

I'm surprisingly interested in this tv-show. Seems like it might be really good!

 

[Knuckles]

Never heard of it til now (not a huge tv viewer) but looks pretty good. But if he starts sparkling in the sunlight I'm outta there

 

[Azhria Lilu]

He better not bloody sparkle!!!

 

[Martin]

As long as he rips a few throats every now and then and doesn't sparkle in the sunlight I'm good..

Azhria Lilu submitted a new Showcase Item:

Dracula

Series introduces Dracula as he arrives in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who maintains that he wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. In reality, he hopes to wreak revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier. There's only one circumstance that can potentially thwart his plan: Dracula falls hopelessly in love with a woman who seems to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.

I have to say I actually enjoyed the first episode.. More than sufficient to keep me tuned for a little longer anyway.

 

[Azhria Lilu]

I've got it recorded to watch tonight or tomorrow

Dracula has been cancelled after one season.
