(Continued) Werewolves and vampires...where will it end!

As I mentioned in an earlier post there is going to be two versions of Bram Stoker's most famouse piece if literature 'Dracular'...and well this other version of the film will have all those who love this world renowned story screaming, saying 'WHAT IN GODS NAME HAVE YOU DONE!' at this blog.

It's going to be animated and in 3D with Adam Sandler voicing Dracular...I know at first when I read this I raised my eyebrows at the news too but give a guy a chance even if he has been in some really bad films such as The Wedding Singer, Just Go With It, Bedtime Stories, Little Nicky, The Waterboy to name a few but he did star in the hilariously funny Happy Gilmore.

Anyhew... this is a very different take on Bram Stoker's Dracular as not only is it animated but Sony will cast Dracular as an overprotective father who sets up a hotel for other monsters such as himself to chill lax without the fear of humans, he will do this as he has warned Mavis that there are terrible dangers beyond his property's boundaries and everything at the hotel is going great until...can guess what it is yet? A human check's in and falls for Mavis.

Other people who are on this project with Sandler are:
  • David Spade he'll voice Quasimodo
  • Kevin James he'll voice Frankenstein's monster
  • Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon will voice two werewolves
  • Andy Samberg will voice Jonathan (the human who checks in)
And can you guess what this film will be called...Hotel Transylvania. Hum...reminds me of a little known song by 'The Eagles' called Hotel California, I hope it doesn't turn out like that lyric in that song '....You can check out any time of year but you can never leave'.

Also Warner Bros. is getting in on this Vampire Werewolves cash cow with buying the rights to Image Comics miniseries Undying Love. I can't imagine what this is all about can you?

However, this thankfully is a little bit different...thank goodness as Tom Coker and Daniel Freedman series uses traditional vampire stories but with a mix of Chinese monster legends but puts a little bit of action in their that takes place on the streets of Hong Kong.

The story sees an ex soldier fall in love with a young women but there's just one snag, she is a vampire and the ex soldier has to plough his way through Hong Kong's underworld to find whoever made her a vampire and kill him so that they both get to end up together.

But part of Warner Bros. deal with Coker and Freedman is that they get to have the chance to be the first ones to do a script for this seeing as their is no one else who Warner Bros. have asked to write the script for this. However, Empire Magazine seem to be saying that with Warner Bros. just buying the rights to Blood Wars there might be a chance that this film as well as the Blood Wars film could all be as the late great Oliver Reed said in Gladiator '...smoke and dust...'
