Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy knock this script right out of the park. They’ve mastered every trick in the book. Their pages crackle with energy and drip with menace. The scenes are, and this is a rarity in screenplays today, intelligent. A thoroughly enjoyable read!
They’ve reworked the Dracula tale, breathing new life into it with an innovative take on the material. All the characters are here but it’s almost if we’re seeing them for the first time.
I absolutely love their depiction of Renfield. The character jumps off the page, becoming riveting in a way he never was in any other depiction. Their Van Helsing is also a nice touch.
Dracula’s intent on bringing back the black death. Jonathan Harker must stop him as Mina Murray’s life hangs in the balance.
I’d make this movie in a heartbeat. Without a teenage romance at its center though we’ll see if Hollywood is interested.
