The Netflix trailer, which may have been included in the article a couple of posts ago, has some different scenes from the BBC ones:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeL6GNNWoZkReports I saw on another forum today from UK viewers describe this new version as a campy hoot with some deliberate humor. Claes Bang is known as a comic actor so this may be a 21st century version of CARRY ON COUNT DRACULA. The Count also has some nude scenes, according to initial reports. Kinky!
Far from being definitive (almost everyone agrees that the 1977 BBC version starring Louis Jourdan was the closest to definitive ever filmed, if by "definitive" you mean "as close as possible to the novel") this version seems like a way-out pastiche with lots of stuff brought in from other trendy horror vehicles of recent years, in addition to the warped humor. Expect everything including the kitchen sink to be thrown at the main concept. People do say it is all quite entertaining.
