Dracula

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

I wish someone would make a proper adaptation of Dracula, which mirrors the book. The book is written in such a way that it should be fairly easy - each chapter is a diary entry, or suchlike. With voiceovers (as utilised in Hammer's 1958 adaptation), there should be no problem.

My only concern is that it might be quite long, so a TV serial rather than a film might be a better idea. So not one for anyone hoping to make a Francis Ford Coppola-eqsue blockbuster (I didn't care much for his version, for the record)

But it's such a good book that I think it deserves the proper treatment from the Film.TV industry. None of the mojor adaptations so far have done it much justice, although I'd consider Hammer's version as the best.

This adaptation wasn't too bad, Count Dracula BBC (1977) (TV)
