Anno Dracula Trailer

Kim Newman's "Anno Dracula" is a novel about an alternate history in which Dracula won. Three years later Van Helsing's head is on a pike outside Buckingham Palace and Lord Ruthven is Prime Minister. Then, some madman begins slaughtering undead prostitutes in Whitechapel. Some call him 'Silver Knife.' But most will come to know him as...JACK THE RIPPER!

I would love it if somebody made a movie of this book!

What about the crossovers?

@techanstuff What about them?

Oh my God! It's about time someone acknowledged Kim Newman's genius vampire novel! Thank you! You don't know how thrilled this makes me, haha, I was just planning on making an Anno Dracula trailer myself. Whatever, I'm still going through with it, this inspires me though, thank you so much.

Many thanks! Be sure to let me know when you post your trailer!

Loved it !

The music is awesome, what is it?

Oh, and who is the stunning fanged beauty at 1:01 ? I haven't seen her before.

Looks like I need to pick up this book :)

~Q~

I'll look up the music and send it to you. The fanged beauty is from "FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 3: THE HANGMAN'S DAUGHTER"

Great job with these clips -- "From Hell," "Sweeney Todd," AND "Sherlock Holmes" -- awesome! This is the best book ever.

Nicely done, spot-on casting suggestions and an indication what a richly gothic film Anno Dracula would make. Many thanks.

@RoseOfTransylvania It's been just re-released by Titan Books, I just picked up a copy last week, well worth reading, IMHO this book really led the way for modern literary crossovers with a Wold Newton Universe outlook such as Alan Moore's The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Depp as Seward, Townsend as Godalming, Law as Beauregard, Peta Wilson as Genevieve... good selection, indeed.

Kim's just posted this on his Facebook page so I think he must like it too :-)

@romanlegions - he's just signed a deal with Titan books to reissue the first three Anno Dracula novels. No publication dates yet.

You are a genius. This is truly magnificent work! A brilliant parody of a briliant novel.
