Karyn Kusama’s DRACULA Won’t Be The Romantic Hero We’ve Seen in the Past – Dread Central

Jennifers Body and The Invitation director Karyn Kusama is taking on a new film adaptation of Bram Stokers Dracula and today we hear she hopes to bring in some of the books more broad structure, including multiple voices and perspectives.

Kusama tells The Kingcast: Something that gets overlooked in adaptations of Dracula in the past is the idea of multiple voices. In fact, the book is filled with different points of view, and the one point of view we dont get access to, and most adaptations give access to, is Dracula himself. So I would just say, in some respect, this is going to be an adaptation called Dracula, but its perhaps not the same kind of romantic hero that weve seen in past interpretations of Dracula.

Young lawyer Jonathan Harker is sent to Draculas castle to finalise a land deal, but when the Count sees a photo of Harkers fiance, Mina, the spitting image of his dead wife, he imprisons him and sets off for London to track her down.
