Description
Bram Stoker's Dracula is director Francis Ford Coppola's epic retelling of a story that has inspired many films—but never one so true to Stoker's 1897 novel and its historical background.
James V. Hart's screenplay opens in 1462, when the Roumanian prince Vlad Dracula (Gary Oldman) saves his country from the Turks but loses his great love, and sears an unholy oath to avenge her. Four centuries later, a young Englishman, Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves), visits the Transylvanian castle of an eccentric old count—and the classic tale unfolds. How Dracula terrorizes Harker and then takes ship for England, where he seduces Harker's fiancee Mina (Winona Ryder) and her best friend Lucy, and enslaves the madman Renfield (Tom Waits); and how he is finally vanquished by Dr. Van HElsing (Anthony Hopkins) and his fellow Vampire Killers. Unique to this Dracula is the love story between the vampire prince and Mina, the reincarnation of his lost princess.
This book contains the complete shooting script, excerpts from the original novel, and more than 160 photos, 100 in color, of the production, with its brilliant costumes and evocative sets. Sidebars explore behind-the-scenes details, the director's innovative methods, and the film's literary and historical links. With an introduction by Coppola, notes by screenwriter Hart, and an afterword by Dracula scholar Leonard Wolf, this is the only official companion book to this landmark film.
