  • I heard that Coppola originally wanted Johnny to play Keanu's part but at the time the studio thought that Keanu was the more bankable name smh

  • Gary Oldman is the only reason to watch this movie.

  • @BooDotBoo Gary Oldman is often the only reason I've watched a lot of movies that I wouldn't otherwise see. Oldman carries all of his scenes in every movie to perfection. It doesn't get any better than Gary Oldman.

  • no wonder Winona Ryder acting sucked at this movie, she never saw a vampire movie before the one she made .. i seriously thing it's a mistake that she played Mina part .. :S

  • Gary Oldman is a genius. but Johnny Depp is not all that useless, check out his film, "The Libertine". In there you will find Depp's greatest performance.

  • i see a great many similarities between gary oldman and johnny depp... cant wait to see a film starring the both of them...

  • I think Winona and Keanu were pathetic on that flick. Sorry.

  • @MrRenealexis same here. their bad acting put a cheesy spin on what could have been a remarkable movie thanks to Oldman's performance.

  • @MrRenealexis Agreed and then some. I love everything about this film (other than Dracula not getting to win, of course) but I always get stuck on those two with their hellishly bad performances. Oldman certainly makes up for it though.....

  • god he's so cute

  • 2:10 SIRIUS-ly

  • The narrator sounds like the king of all douches.

  • Depp shows an eccentric, Oldman shows a natural.

  • this it not the gary oldman who plays the constable in Batman - begins and dark knight?

  • @Baardnick Certainly is.

  • Gary Oldman is so powerful in this movie, he's managed to pull off a really gross old guy, a perverted beast, and when with Mina - a gentleman and a lover. Great performance. And his accent was perfectly...draculish :] Best dracula ever.

  • @ivanchica21

    This is truly the most overrated version of Dracula ever made and Oldman is version of the Count is, shall we say, unique--also way overrated. The stupid beehive hair cut is just an invention of FF Coppola who should have called this movie, "FF Coppola's Dracula" since it is a poor version of Stokers. But fortunately, Oldman's performance is not the worst in the movie--we have the wooden Keanu Reeves as Harker and the worst Van Helsing in cinema history, Anthony Hopkins.

  • @RPenta I completely disagree :) except for the Keanu Reeves part, he really is wooden. I completely adore Hopkins, and Oldman. I'm no film critic, I can't even discuss this to depth because I haven't read the book yet, but I can say what I feel, what this movie does for me, and it does a lot. I've seen many vampire/dracula movies, this one has a special vibe, a unique charm to it, and I love it. In my eyes it's underrated. Too bad you, apparently, didn't enjoy it.. that's ok though ;)

  • I never knew Dracula was the world's most famous dracula!

  • Guys, there's a facebook group "Get Gary Oldman On Inside The Actor's Studio!!", join and get him there! :) I love this show, it's very inspirational and the host doesn't talk rubbish as nowadays interviewers tend to do, and we all know Gary's utterly gifted, so why not get him there? :]

  • God I hate wynona ryder!

  • I didnt like this version of Dracula........but Gary Oldman is the shit........best actor in the last 25 years!

  • @Hunkola

    Oldman is a great actor; cannot carry Lugosi's, Palance's or Louis Jourdan's cape

  • There's something about Wynona Ryder that just makes me want to wrap her in cotton wool and feed her grapes :P

  • Gary Oldman is extremely pretty and I personally think he's much more interesting that Depp or Pitt or whoever of this sort.

  • I swear! Johnny Depp took his entire style from Gary Oldman's roles in Dracula and True Romance.

  • Gary Oldman suck my blood!

  • the movie was ok.. has its moments but could have been so much more

    one thing for sure is that if it wasn't for gary, it would have not been as good

    he's done a hair raising and fantastic job!!!

    Winona was disappointing to watch, why the hell did coppola use her?

    gary's done such an amazing job its such a shame the movie couldn't have been better to express him even more.

  • 1:38 "I have crossed oceans of time to find you."

    Some one made fun of that in something. I am trying to think of it what made fun of it?!

  • I loved the film, but I watched the film before reading the book. Francis Ford Coppola could have turned this film into a fucking masterpiece. But I feel as if he didn't try hard like he did for The Godfather films, and Apocalypse Now.

  • Comment removed

  • it seems like women identify more with the love story behind it and maybe men identify with the horror aspect

  • Un de mes acteurs favorit.

    Dracula est un de mes films préféré.

    Gary est sexy et c'est un acteur talentueux.

    Juste Sublime!<3

  • you mean today? gary is in his 50s now...

  • Oldman es el mejor dracula que he visto en toda película de Dracula.

    The beast and the best!!!

  • ya wino im sure youve seen a horror film like youve done a line of coke or hid cosmetics, candy bars in your purse at the supermarket either

  • Gary Oldman was alright??

    He was phenomenal! ;-)

  • yeah and are you forgetting how great Christopher Lee was at playing Dracula?

  • No, but no need to lower Gary's performance. Is it impossible that both are great? ;-)

  • not.

    Here Dracula TALKS.

    Oldman is the best Dracul (of all times).

    hail dracul, rex mortis! D

  • least i watch REAL horror movies

  • Like do you say:

    Bram Stoker's DRACULA is not just a typical HORROR movie D (Romance, points gore, etc). Is more than that. Exceeds it.

  • most likely. I'm also saying check out the classical Hammer Horror Movies from the late 50's to late 60's. Trust me, Christopher Lee was awesome playing as creepy villains in those

  • Partner, i have "the hammer collection" about Christopher Lee like Dracula and I prefer a Cristopher lee like Rasputín D. I think Max Schreck like Nosferatu is more convincing than him: EXPRESIONISM here is brilliant...

  • I have seen all dracula movies, and i can tell you, Gary Oldman isn't just Dracula here... IS Vlad Tepes, inspiration for bram stoker's Dracula. Christopher Lee's movies are cult (course), but with Gary Oldman, here shows more than that... a lot. Trust me, Gary Oldman is the PERFECT Drácula (from the Book).

    Hails.

  • least i hail the old stuff

  • Nyaaa, the movie was so amazing I couldn't even be bothered by Keanu!

  • the # 1 best romantic film ever ...hot !!!

  • keanu killed the damn movie....he juz did not fit the role at all...his voice, his cheapass ACCENT imitation, and his hair!!!

  • Who cares about Keanu? I hardly noticed him in the movie, Gary Oldman was so great!

  • @Siriusiana

    Quite a few.Two of my friends only got surprised at how handsome Keanu was after they watched Dracula."He is so sexy and beautiful that girls always forget about his acting,only want to look at him"They said

  • yea, I like keanu but, I didnt think that movie fit him..

  • does she look extremely lik kiera knightly to anyone else???

  • Yes, for me too, and Nataly portman looks like them too

    Don't you think?

  • never seen a dracula film?!!! Not a fan?!!!

    ARGH! *Rolls over and dies*

    Ah well, she does a good job of the role... though her motives are hard to identify with... first she "loves" harker, then she falls in love with Dracula, understandable given the circs, but then blows him off to marry harker, later she professes her love for dracula and convinces him to bite and make her a vampire, but then she later complains "I know I become like him" and works to stop her transformation...

  • Well, that doesn't happen only to her. Dracula wants Mina at first so bad, than he says he loves her too much so he can't make her a vampire, than he wants to make her a vampire but at the end he just lets her go...

  • Totally man, still makes no sense to me XD

  • Ha ha ha, those yanks trying to do English accents is hillarious!

  • The English accent is romantic, poetic, sensual and charming. It is a delight to hear the accent in the original form spoken by it's creators.

    The American accent is monotonous, charmless, Loud and grinding. with every sentence it sounds like a statement.

    Studies have shown that the English accent is in waves of frequencies, shifting in and out of pitch adding depth to the words.

    The American one is compressed to monotome.

    That's why it's so easy for the English to impersinate yanks.

  • @WandsworthBNP And that, my friend, explains my complete and utter devotion to David Bowie's vocal chords :)

  • Well, have you ever hear cockney?

  • @WandsworthBNP That is a very generalized statement in itself. The most commonly used American accent is Mid Western because it is the easiest one to impersonate and resembles that so-called monotonous sound. However, just as with English/British accents, American accents are hugely diverese in their sounds, pronouciation, and all around build. Southern is highly different from Northern accents. Even just from state to state--like New England for instance, none of those states sound the same.

  • bugger the acting and who does it (and who is better)... Burton/Deep... Coppola/Oldman (all great)! there is not one person alive who is really individual and original... the question is do you enjoy what they devise? what they create? what you as an individual watch and enjoy?...

  • I love acting!..but I love direction!! ever watch a film/ movie just to see the way things were put together and where the cuts in performance and film are made, not to mention the movement of cast on set, on a physical level? I don't care where Coppola was in his career in relation to other films his detail is still great.. there is a lack of seriousness on many levels in this film.

    I also like Bram Stoker's addition of Countess Erzsébet Báthory (elizabeth!!) just for some history hehehe!

  • Gary Oldman and the production value of dracula was A+.But sadly the film was in the time of Coppola not really being himself and the story of the film lacks alot of impact.

  • I like both of them :)

  • Johnny Depp could not cary Gary Oldmans script. Oldman is way better.

  • @Ricksf9ers I would love to see the two of them play opposite each other.

  • @Ricksf9ers depp might be able to HOLD his pen

  • @Ricksf9ers Depp is poop compared to Oldman

  • @Ricksf9ers of course... c'mon! I love Johnny so much. But Gary is better and I'm sure, Johnny would accept this, yoo.

  • @Ricksf9ers but keanu reeves could, right?

  • @hpotter4getbac That too couldn't. Come on it's not fair for them to compare them to Gary Oldman. And the best way is to just not compare especially if we knew the man outshines them big time.

  • @Ricksf9ersdon't compare them. gary has a totally different personality.

  • Tell you the truth, if you had more awareness in your pathetic life you would realize that Gary Oldman is far more gifted. Due to the fact that he masters any accent and personality and emotion. His depth is deeper than Depp's. Depp never cries, gets angry, nothing to show emotion. Its the old hat and wig acting sometimes. Depp is great, but Oldman is limitless in range. Besides you NEVER know its Oldman emotionally and physically.

  • Johnny does cry :O he's done it a few times in his movies, only those are not very popular like Pirates.. where he got all his fans from, he's gotten angry too, but I'm still with you Gary's work's better, sometimes is quite impossible to know it's him playing a role 'till you read it somewhere and you go: what?! he's in that movie?

  • Johnny Depp is more talented? Are you kidding?

    Gary Oldman is a real chameleon actor. Johnny Depp only wants to be like that. And it's a huge difference.

  • Sacrilege and blasphemy! How dare you compare the GREAT Gary Oldman with someone like Johnny Depp? PLEASE!!

  • what???? 3 points less to my comment only because I think Johnny Depp is better??are you idiots??? I do think Gary Oldman is a terrific actor and is completely underrated!!! pleasee, what are you childs?? don't you think someone could have a different opinion that yours?I just simply think that Johnny Depp is better, and I think people who think JD is a bad actor are morons....but so what??you are a bunch of losers

  • Whatever. No comparison between Oldman and Depp. Oldman is a true actor...

  • ok ok whatever you say, can't argue with people like you, it's not worth it, JOhnny Depp is a terrific actor and one of the best around, period!

  • Who said he is a bad actor???

    Gary Oldman is a true chameleon who totally disappears in his roles. Johnny Depp when wears different costumes and make-up he is still recognizable. He is always "Johnny Deppish". That's the difference and that's why Gary Oldman is a true chameleon performer.

  • depp and oldman are both VERY talented actors. Love them both.

  • did she?

  • gary was not a dick on set and winona did not hate him. she went up to him and told him: "fuck man, you're so intense!" and that took him by surprise because he always thought of himself as shy, but people mistake that shyness for anger.

  • aye, they're both HOT lol

  • Oldman looks like a vampire Ozzy in this movie........LOL.

  • he does remind me of Johnny sometimes, but he's better at the job (Johnny's phenomenal though, don't get me wrong)

  • Dont get me wrong im a gary fan all the way and think johnny is great also but take a look at true romance made 1993 and see who looks like captain sparrow. Not saying johnny ripped of gary's role but maybe the make up artist took inspiration. I would also be curious to see if Johnny could take the part of a white man playing a black pimp. haha

  • He is so hot

  • There are very few actors that can really grip you while watching a movie but some would be Brando, Daniel Day-Lewis, DeNiro and of course, Gary Oldman.

  • Love you Gary :D

  • i love you gary oldman!!!

    gary oldman, johnny depp, edward norton, they're all gorgeous!

  • I agree 100% :D

  • he looks abit like johnny depp don't ya think?

  • a lot of people say that

  • nah he's better than johnny depp.. even though they are both soooooooooooooooo hott

  • How I wish that *I* were the woman Gary Oldman desires the most...

  • He is the sexiest vampire ever!!

  • I think Edward Norton kind of looks like him.

    Gary Oldman rocks awesome

  • I think Edward Norton is close to becoming the Gary Oldman of America.

  • I love this Dracula, come bite me baby!!

  • the best dracula-movie ever made. well, maybee after nosferatu.. so amazing. and gary oldman even gives bela lugosi a fight for the ever-lasting fame in this one. amazing.

  • Really he's fifty and he's the sexiest man I've ever seen ^^

  • in that i agree... sexy and handsome ... and i am half his age...

  • Did that lady say Duuuracula?

  • he was amazing AND sexy in that movie

  • omg sooooo lame! "It looks like the love bug may bite her as well...and if IT doesn't...he will!" hahaha.

  • "The lovebug" :P love the silly humor of ancormen... so dry that it makes you thirsty.. for blood.

  • woah, Winona looks so young and beautiful here

  • oldman = the hottest man alive.

  • Yes! I'm not alone then... ;)

  • No, you most certaintly are not! He's like 30 years older than me but still........

  • am also like thirty years younger than he is but i just can't help it he is such a hottie (going bananas for Gary)XDDD

  • "i made him up, u cant research him you see hes dead, hes 400 years old" pretty much one of the best explanations to the question "how did u make ur character?"

    but then again its gary oldman :)

  • I totally agree ToBerfestaNDZEAland ... that line really cracked me up in laughter. It's great ansver to a really typical question for a reporter to ask(sort of like asking an athlete "what are you feeling now? after he just resieved his gold medal ;)

  • to see Gary and Keanu in one movie again

  • Winona Ryder is a terrible in this, Hopkins is good as always, and Oldman is good as always.. big surprise, lol.

  • to tell you the truth i don't like winona ryder it's just something about her. They could have picked a better person. I don't know that's just my opinion.

    p.s. Gary Oldman is so hot.

  • I don't like her either, but this movie made me wish I was her for a while! lol. Up until the scene where she kisses Anthony Hopkins...

  • I'm an acting buff and have done some acting myself.  Gary Oldman might be the most amazing actor that Hollywood ever saw.

  • o my God GARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY i love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu T__________T

  • Gary Oldman is GOD as Dracula! Why he was never nominated for this role is beyond me!

  • This cat is HOT.

    Maybe i'll watch this harry potter mumbo-jumbo after all...

  • I loved him playing Sirius Black in Harry Potter 3-5! Its a shame they had to kill him off...

  • Lol how is this spam

  • Gary Oldman is amazingly cute. he is a fabulous actor who has played many good parts. i just love him with my life.

  • Yeah, he's got that boyish quality to him. I mean, he's almost 50 years old and he still has that "boyish" look.

  • He's 50! 50 times more beautfiful!!!

  • He is so amazing! Why this man has not won an Oscar is beyond imagination?! To me he is sexy! How wonderful for him to play Sirius Black next to another sexy actor I admire (Daniel Radcliffe). He is a sexy Dracula!

  • His eyes are so beautiful

  • Gary made the perfect Dracula

    Anthony made the brilliant Van Helsing

    Winona and Kiano WTF?

    Loved Gary from the moment I saw him in this and then proceeded to watch him play in other films, each one he brings a legendary character and makes each role his alone, a brilliant actor but the body clocks ticking and he needs to get in touch real quick if he wants me to have his babies :D

  • Winona is extremely dull, I have to agree.

  • Winona Bores me to death, literally, I'm more interested in being dead. The original Dracula, Bela Lugosi was never scary. Honestly, who could be scared to see that movie? No one, I'm telling you.

  • gary oldman is so sexy.

  • One of my favorite films. Loved Coppola's vision of the film, and what can one say about Gary Oldman.

  • Cant stop drooling after Gary's Dracula. *_____*

  • Gary Oldman can scare little children

  • Absolutly!

    When I say him for the first time I was eight years old and watched "Leon - The pro".

    There is this one scene where he comes over to little Ms. Portman saying:

    Do you love life?"

    And when she nodded he continued by sayng:

    "That´s good. I have no pleasure in taking life from a person who doesen´t care!"

    In this moment he scared me!

  • Gary Oldman played the PERFECT Dracula!

  • Oldman is great but Winona sucks especially in this movie yet she always seemed to be really into herself like she thought seh was such an important actress. Oh well her career dropped anyway. And this was even before her shop lifting arrest. We've got better young actresses like Kate Winslet. During this time she was the only young actreses people could htink of to cast and she wasn't even good.

  • and Keanu Reeves nearly kills the movie

  • indeed! thank god we had Gary & Tony there to mend it!!!

    thanx for sharing!

  • i just watched this movie for the first time, and I couldn't agree more! He was by far the worst part of the movie. Stood out like a sore thumb.

  • "the world's most famous Dracula" ? It should be the world's most famous vampire. Idiot media.

  • He looks soooooooo much different than what he looks like now!! But he's still hot!!!!! "I've traveled oceans of time to find you".

  • You really got to be thinking about the paycheck during the hours youre being turned into a giant bat creature by the make up department. I would

  • I siply cant understand how that much sex appeal can fit into one man! I mean, those eyes!! He gives me the chills only by moving his head!

    This film is a beautifull lovestory and Gary Oldman is, indeed, pure sex x]

    If you havn't seen it: do it!

  • i use to watch this movie ALL OF THE TIME gary oldman is my fav actor!!

  • hey check out my trubute to Gary oldman and his movie dracula! i hope youll like it!

  • Gary Olman kicks ass  !!!!!!

  • pure sex haha

  • winona and keanu really suck balls in this movie... winona gets better as an actor over time... keanu always sucks. Gary is pure sex in this movie

  • Gary Oldman is GOD!!!

  • AMEN!

    "I made him up." Now, THAT is the sign of a true actor! So many actors seem to copy other actors when creativity in some of them seems to be dying. I'd sell my soul for the talent of this man!

  • yo anyone who wants to be a vampire listen to MCR.
