Show Details

An Oscar-award winning horror flick helmed by Francis Ford Coppola so visceral you can practically taste the blood yourself.

-Never having seen a Dracula movie before, it was actually Winona Ryder who brought the idea of redoing Bram Stoker's novel to Francis Ford Coppola's attention. She had been given a pile of scripts by her agent, one of which was titled "Dracula: The Untold Story" and had interest.

-Francis Ford Coppola has openly criticized his own reasoning for casting Keanu Reeves as lead Jonathan Harker. He had needed a hot star that would connect with women.
