Exactly if he had of said twilight they would have all probably wet themselves. Bet half of em never heard of Bram stoker nor Francis Ford Coppola. Sad times
What really boils my blood is that no one showed any respect for the film. We're talking about an audience who basically goes "Woooh" and claps for almost everything. But once Conan mentions Bram Stoker's Dracula...complete silence. BS
I remember reading something where it said Gary had to relearn his British accent from starring in too many films which required and American one? Is this true?
I'm a huge Gary Oldman fan, seen most of his movies, loved him in all of them. This is the first time I've actually heard him speak in his own voice and I had zero clue he was English.
The Verbally Abusive Clown No because Gary doesn't give a damn in general which means not tring to please people all the time..Lewis seems more insicure and guarded not taking many risks as an actor.
My favorite actor. Total chameleon. He's the kind of actor where I watch a movie and only afterwards, when I look at the credits, do I realize "That was Gary!?"
And interestingly it's one of his few roles where he's not changing much for the character. Oldman basically acts like himself if he were a cop, and it fits commissioner Gordon's character like a glove.
If you haven't seen him in "The Professional" go and rent it! It was Natalie Portman's first movie (she was 12) and a fantastic dark crime drama. Oldman played a fantastic villain. You won't forget it.
It would've been agreat idea if Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins had taught Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder how to speak in a proper english accent while they were preparing for the film. God knows whoever tried to teach them (if there even was someone teaching them) failed miserably. On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Anthony Head taught James Marsters an english accent and that worked out famously.
@@DeepScreenAnalysis Winona did an admirable job. Keanu just couldn't get it and it was like watching Bill and Ted Go to Transylvania whenever he spoke. Even he has admitted he wasn't that good in the movie. If only they had gotten the original choice of Johnny Depp playing the part of Harker it would have been better.
I once saw an episode of "Law & Order" and one of the detectives mentioned you can buy them online. Now that may have just been a line from a TV show but I wouldn't be surprised if that can really be done.
I just saw the Netflix mini series "Dracula". Although it was quite alright, it pales in comparison to Gary Oldmans performance in the 1992 movie. It is without a doubt the best portrayal of Dracula (or any vampire movies for that matter). A must see movie for everyone.
I’m a young 18 year old vampire movie fanatic, I have appreciation for classics like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Frank Langella’s Dracula and other vampire movies that are similar. Also, I’m very into what goes on in every vampire movie like bloodsucking, love scenes, the vampire that kills the hunter, all of that which is hella bomb. My dad growing up in the 80s would watch horror movies and a lot of actions and westerns which included Clint Eastwood who’s my late grandfather’s favorite actor.
My favorite Gary Oldman character is either Sirius Black in Harry Potter or Richard Crosby, the character he played on an episode of Friends who was acting with Joey in a World War 1 movie.
I like how people are saying 'why didn't anyone clap' Yet anyone english watching this is perfectly used to not clapping like a seal at the mention of anything ha
IIRC, Richard E. Grant's memoir says that Uma left Gary right before they filmed Bram Stoker's Dracula. They had divorced by the time the film was released.
Like Johnny Depp,Gary gets screwed over by the Oscars..Time and again,no matter how brilliant the movie is..Sid and Nancy...Dracula....The Professional..The Batman movies..Book Of Eli..Even as Drexel in "True Romance"..Sure he was only in the scene for 6 or 7 minutes,but you will never forget that scene and how he impacted it..He doesn't kiss Hollywood Ass...That is why they ignore him..
Happy B-day Gary Oldman. I Love The Dark Knight Rises. It really kick ass. May the Peace be with u. From Harlingen Texas. March 21, 1958 March 21, 2020 through March 21, 3020
