Director Jonathan A. Moody’s film Dracula’s War was announced forever ago (…a few month ago) and I’ve been waiting for more info on the project, but none came, making me think the film had been axed.

When it was announced that NBC was creating an all-new Dracula series we were thrilled beyond words! When they then announced that the magnificent Jonathan Rhys Meyers would play Dracula, I almost died of happy. And the good news just kept coming. Like that Daniel Knauf, creator of Carnivale, will be heading up this new …
Consider the scene most expected in almost any vampire film. A supposedly virginal young woman opens her eyes in the middle of the night. She gets up, her translucent gown billowing slightly as she moves in the moonlight. Then she opens the window before returning to the bed, lying down in expectant terror. A fully …
