Alex Proyas, the Aussie director of cult goth classics The Crow and Dark City is returning to his gloomy roots after a flutter on the indie side of things and a big budget Hollywood flick. According to Movieweb this "big" director is set to direct Dracula Year Zero, a film focusing on a fresh look at an overdone horror staple. Think Batman Begins with more fangs and blood.Proyas says this will be different as it is "sort of the origin tale that mixes [the historical] Prince Vlad of Transylvania with sort of [fictionalized] Bram Stoker [story]."
I was also a little concerned with his tooth fetish after this comment, "Oh, you've got to have teeth, I mean, the teeth are really important. I think Frank Langella in the 'Dracula' movie that was made in the 70s, I think he didn't want to have teeth in the movie. But, no, I like the teeth. I want to see girls with a lot of teeth." Riiiiight.
He may like teeth but he doesn't so much like the garlic stating that it was "kind of weird" but do not fret Drac fanboys as he went on to say that there will be "stakes and teeth. And lots and lots of blood!"
The last time we saw old Pale-n-Fangy was in Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula" starring Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins, Winona Ryder (before her "5 finger discount" problems) and Gary Oldman in 1992.
