Two Sinister New Trailers For The Upcoming BBC/Netflix DRACULA Series
We’ve got two new trailers to share with you today for the upcoming Dracula series. They both have very different tones to them. The first one was released by Netflix and it has a darker and more sinister tone. The second one came from the BBC and it’s a lot more playful, fun, and upbeat. It’s interesting to see the two different styles of marketing from the different outlets.
I think the series looks great and I’m looking forward to watching it. It’s safe to assume the series is going to be good because it comes from the same creative team who brought us Sherlock, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss.
The series is inspired by Bram Stoker’s classic novel, and Claes Bang (The Girl in the Spider’s Web) is taking on the role of the legendary vampire. As you’ll see, it looks like he was a fantastic choice. When previously talking about being cast in the role of Dracula, Bang said:
“I am thrilled to be taking on the role of Dracula, especially when the script is in the hands of the incredible talents of Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss and the team responsible for Sherlock. I’m so excited that I get to dig into this iconic and super-interesting character. Yes, he’s evil, but there’s also so much more to him, he’s charismatic, intelligent, witty and sexy. I realize that there’s a lot to live up to with all the amazing people that have played him over the years, but I feel so privileged, to be taking on this incredible character.”
The story for the series is set in 1897 and revolves around the “blood-drinking count from Transylvania who sets his sights on Victorian London.”
The series will consist of three 90-minute episodes and will air on BBC One in the UK and Netflix around the world.
