Stoker’s novel has never been successfully translated to film. Ironically the original 1922 Nosferatu likely remains the most successful attempt to date. When word came that Coppola was directing a version with one of our finest actors portraying the Count I had high hopes. Unfortunately the sympathy via love plot falls flat. The casting of an actor who can’t act, or even deliver a convincing line, was also a distraction. I wish a director the likes of a Ridley Scott would approach the subject. Michael Fassbender, with whom Scott already has a good relationship, would make a good Count.

Back then, I wouldn't question or care how seemingly normal his late wife looks, but with the internet, I say they completely messed up the details, when a person falls from such height into a river. Not to mention the time it took him to arrive. They don't had freezers n such back then. Yea, it's a movie, yes it's romance, but the movie itself doesn't shy away from violence, so...just saying.
