Dracular on for TV series!

According to Deadline New York Dracular will get a 21st Century update...meaning that it will be brought riproaring up-to-date version that will be screened for both the international and US markets.

NBC has asked Tony Krantz and Colin Callinder to produce this TV series and they have also asked Cole Haddon to write this. 

Unusually this series that has been developed by NBC and NBCU's international channels has got a script-to-series commitment, this means that Dracular will go straight to a full blown series if the powers that be at NBC like it rather than the usual step of how other TV shows in America get made into a series whereby a pilot episode of the TV show gets made and based on the response from the audience watching (i.e the viewing figures) this gets made into a full blown TV series.

Anyhew...the story for this that has been developed on the basis of Tony Krantz, and as this TV series is being described as:

"Dangerous Liaisons meets The Tudors."

So I can guess as it's going to be a cross between The Tudors, which as I used to watch this series that it will definitly be very gritty yet have some sexiness in it...and of course this will be on a very big scale, but I have to admit that I've never seen Dangerous Liaisons so I can't say what this will be like, b but I think I can say that this will give the series a new look to it that will definitely shake off the cobwebs of the tale as old as time story of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

This will be produced by Tony Krantz's Flame Vantures along with Colin Calender's Playground Entertainment, Universal TV and NBCU's  International Prods. Colin Calinder and Tony Krantz will also be executive producing this and Reece Pearson,-who works at Flame Vantures-, being co-executive producer on this.
