Dracula 3D (Dario Argento, 2012)
Paul:
Yep, you read it right. Argento is making an adaptation of Bram Stoker's oft-retrodden vampire tome and is doing it in 3D. Filming will commence in Italy this coming January and according to "Argento expert" Alan Jones the director intends to make a faithful version.
Sorry, but I'm really not stoked (pardon the pun). The story has been done countless times before and Argento's recent track record leaves more than a lot to be desired. Why on Earth did he not do FRANKENSTEIN instead? There hasn't been a decent FRANKENSTEIN film in years and his proposed retool from the 70s (which I'm pretty sure he collaborated on with Luigi Cozzi) was supposed to transpose the events of Mary Shelley's novel to Nazi Germany and sounds way more interesting that another round with the Count...

I still need to see Giallo! lol
I watched Arrow's release of Opera this week (cracking DVD BTW!!), and it reminds me how good Argento once was. I always get a shimmer of hope with his recent films. I really liked Sleepless, Hitchcock and Cardplayer were laughable (mainly due to budget and dodgy dubbing reasons IMO) but I enjoyed both. MOT, more of an excuse to show gore than anything else, but again i don't dislike it.
I'm crossing fingers that he does right. I hope it isn't like his other "classic tale" Phantom, i thought that was dreary yawner.
Paul:
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA was utter shit and I count it as his worst, along with MOTHER OF TEARS.
