I'm always up for Vlad / Mina stories, and yes, it is like fanfic. Although, considering how close some of the costuming / visuals in this new version are to the Coppola film, I'm rather surprised there hasn't been a lawsuit (yet).
There's been some odd interpretations of Dracula over the years. The Gerard Butler one (Dracula 2000) comes to mind. That was really off the cuff.
Hoping that since the "modern" part of the new film is set in Belle Epoch Paris, that we'll get some interaction with the Impressionists and the theatre / ballet. That's an era of great interest to me.

Still....it's like fanfic, eh? For Vlad/Mina! Can't have enough of that. And it does look like there's more emphasis on the female's character...
