Nosferatu was the first adaptation in 1922, followed by Hammer’s Dracula Collection (1958-1974) featuring Christopher Lee, Dracula Lord of the Dammed (2011), Dracula Reborn (2012), Dracula (2013) and many more. All of these adaptations have had varying amounts of success, but so many have been made so it begs the question did we really need another to add to this long list? Throughout the years Dracula’s character has been revised so many times, transforming dependent on Hollywood’s needs at the time. Original representations of Dracula are one dimensional and the silent figures are given no human qualities. Christopher Lee who was famously given very little lines for his portrayal said in an interview with Total Film, “all they do is write a story and try and fit the character in somewhere, which is very clear when you see the films. They gave me nothing to do! I pleaded with Hammer to let me use some of the lines that Bram Stoker had written.
