BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / New Dracula show for the BBC

Yeah, female Dracula would be cool, too, but they might have an interpretation different than the one you predict, nakahara. We don't know what the plot will be yet. To be honest, I only know a little bit about the plot of Dracula from seeing Murnau's Nosferatu and the readings we did about what happens in the film and the book. I've never actually read it.

I'm not usually that interested in vampire stuff, either. Although I thought Jim Jarmusch's take on vampires in Only Lovers Left Alive was very good, I liked the movie quite a lot. But that's probably different from what this will be like.

I think I'd somehow missed that Jonathan Aris is in it! The location looks suitably atmospheric. I think this is going to be fun! Thanks for the update!

About the filming - if this is about "Dracula", how long do they take? I seem to remember the pics from Eastern Europe posted around February. If I remember correctly, for "Sherlock" they needed about a month per episode, right?

Well they are all done, now!

Yes, the filming is officially over now:

I did say that, but your post said it so much better!

Mark Gatiss will make also some Dracula documentary to accompany his new Dracula series:

Sounds interesting!

He's in his element with this - should be good!

I will watch the documentary...well it's Mark!
I learned my lesson from watching the one he did on Euro horror.
Both my late husband and I hate horror and yet we both really enjoyed the documentary!

The history of it can be interesting even if it's not something you're a big fan of watching.

**Posted by besleybean** August 27, 2019 4:45 pm

Yes and Mark is just an excellent presenter.

Has this been posted yet? Looks like fun, classic horror!

**Posted by besleybean** October 27, 2019 9:51 pm

Never thought to put it here, sorry...
looks gruesome!
Did you see Jonathan is in the cast, too?!

**Posted by Liberty** October 28, 2019 7:17 am

Yes! He is never out of work!

**Posted by besleybean** October 28, 2019 7:19 am

Indeed, he was also in A Confession with Martin, as was...David Nellist.

Interesting to see what kind of look and atmosphere they are going for. Not sure it's for me, though! The bit with the fingernail kind of grossed me out a little. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't also curious to see more.

**Posted by besleybean** October 28, 2019 4:35 pm

I will give it a go...
But I really do not think it is for me.

I also dislike gruesome stories - but I´ll give this one a go. I want to know what parts were filmed here in Slovakia.
