Hart have always insisted that their film was the first to do justice to every major character and story development on the page. And this wasn’t just buzz from Columbia Pictures Coppola and screenwriter James V. But a major selling point of Francis Ford Coppola’s take on the premiere vampire of modern culture, at the time of its 1992 release and since, is that it is the most faithful adaptation, the one and only effort to truly capture everything of substance in Stoker’s book.
It is a Dracula film, and it is a direct adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel. And how many 1950s sci-fi pictures promised spectacular creatures and battles with their posters, only to deliver mere minutes of bad rubber suits? But it takes some hutzpah to put a lie right into the title of a picture like Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I rather like the 2010 Alice in Wonderland and its somber, reflective look back on the original material, but Disney’s marketing presented it as more of a gonzo action-comedy, and some felt let down when it turned out to be otherwise. Despite Lionel Hutz’s assertions to the contrary, fraudulent advertising in movies isn’t the stuff of lawsuits.
