Just the name Dracula 3D may be enough to get you to roll your eyes, but when you get a chance to examine the credits, it should draw you in more. The film doesn’t have a specific date in 2012 that it’ll come out, or US distribution yet, but it’s coming from horror master Dario Argento with Rutger Hauer as Van Helsing and Thomas Kretschmann as Dracula while adding Asia Argento as Lucy. The first full trailer for it has landed and it certainly looks to hit all the right hallmarks.
Plot Concept: A young librarian, Jonathan Harker, is welcomed at Castle Dracula by the Count and a young woman named Tania, who seems intent on seducing Harker. The Count prevents Tania from biting the young man, but Dracula attacks Harker himself, leaving the him weak. Harker attempts to escape the castle, but is killed by a wolf. Harker’s wife, Mina, arrives in the village and stays at the home of her friend, Lucy Kisslinger. Worried about her husband, she visits the castle, and falls under the spell of the Count. It transpires that Dracula has engineered their meeting, because Mina is the reincarnation of his long-lost love, Dolinger. Lucy also becomes undead before the mysterious happenings in the village attract the attention of vampire expert Van Helsing, who prepares for final combat with his deadliest foe.
