DRACULA Miniseries From SHERLOCK Creators Steven Moffat & Mark Gatiss In The Works For BBC & Netflix

Yet another adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel is on the way, this time for the small screen. Sherlock creators Steven Moffat And Mark Gatiss are working on a new version of Dracula for Netflix...

There's a new take on Dracula in the works for BBC One and Netflix from Sherlock creators Steven Moffat And Mark Gatiss. The pair will write and executive produce a three-part, 90-minute miniseries based on Bram Stoker's classic novel.

There have always been stories about great evil,” Moffat and Gatiss said in a joint statement. “What’s special about ‘Dracula,’ is that Bram Stoker gave evil its own hero.”

Most of the previous live-action versions of Dracula have leaned heavily into the love story between the vampiric Count and Mina Harker, which really didn't factor into Stoker's book at all (Drac was depicted as a merciless, loathsome monster), so it'll be interesting to see which route this latest adaptation takes.

No premiere date has been announced yet, but Dracula will debut on BBC One in the UK before launching on Netflix in the US and other locations.

@L0RDbuckethead - Bela gave the most memorable portrayal of Dracula. No one has even come close to being that devilishly charming on screen since 1931.

The Haunting of Hill House is great. Off topic, but still horror!

Please keep the BBC out of the casting process. Their last 'Dracula' project... STANK.

I like the story in book form and have seen some plays and yes as well to Copola's movie. Might try this one out.

@NinnesMBC - The Coppola version is great. The way they made all the special effects completely practical, even the really crazy stuff, was awesome. It gave it the feel of a modern version of classic 20s-30s horror.

@noahthegrand - Yeah, the currents Monsters movies like the Mummy are failures these days. Hopefully, companies will realise how to get their shared universes right someday. Hey, I made some more edits on the Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum article. Take a look at it. You're gonna love my new ideas!!

@Repian - Moffat and Capaldi did tease that they definitely want to work together again as soon as possible in pre-Doctor Who S10 interviews.

Am I the only one who didn't really like Sherlock? I mean the first two seasons are great but after...

@Oskir - It became... just too selfaware. Almost a parody of itself carried by funny dialog and good performances.

@Kleytus - Exactly! Like all the twist with Watson's wife was ridiculous at the end
