It really wasn't a wise choice to make Dracula so ugly in the sequels.


Good job alienating all the female fans who loved 2000 for the hot sexy Drac (ehem me). I mean so OK maybe Gerard Butler has moved on to bigger and better things, but is it really that hard to find another hottie for II and not mutilate him for the entire friggin film? And Dracula 3 was a total old ugly geezer. Since when does Dracula age?

In the original Dracula book, Dracula ages when he hasn't fed for a while... But since he apparently has enough blood in this movie, I don't know why they chose to make him old.

And I agree it would be cool having Gerard Butler in all movies, but I liked Rutger Hauer better than the guy in the second one.
(This might be because I'm a guy and judge them by their talent and not their looks =P)

Congratulations! on a scale of perversity from 1-10, you just hit a 74.

Actually, Rutger reminded me of a less cheesy, but still hammy version of Lothos from Buffy in this movie. Still great though.

Rutger isn't ugly in the film, he looks like a normal, older man. He does an excellent acting job.

I thought stephen billington was pretty hot.

You would think killing people would make them like you but it doesn't. It just makes them dead.

Honey, I suggest you read the novel. You're embarrassing your entire gender, myself included. We don't need a twenty-something-year-old playing a character who is technically meant to be a man who died / Became at forty five. Also he spends about a third of the novel in the form of an old man. And never de-ages that far where you can't see grey working it's way into his hair.

I think he would have de-aged further if he'd gotten to keep feeding though. He was only ever on his 2nd Victim.

If we're talking about the novel, he killed the entire crew of the Demeter, I don't think he could go further back than the age he was when he died his human death, which would put him at abou tforty five, explaining the hints of grey in his hair.


reply

His De-ageing came primarily from Feeding on Lucy and what little he got to of Mina. I think it takes Young Blood to de-age.

I'd take Rutger over Butler or the other guy any day. He was awesome in Blade Runner. He does a great cool, and ominous, I love him.
