There are currently many modern cinematic adaptations of the ongoing novel, such as Renfield, Where Nicolas Cage embodies the character of the famous Count, and Dracula By Chloe Zhao, it was produced for Universal which will be told in the key to Western science fiction.

However, the project led by Karyn Kusama, one of the most anticipated projects by fans of the horror genre, was canceled a few days after the recording began.

Thus, the film would be a kind of vindication of the original story, as Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic version suggested that the relationship between the two characters was of a loving nature. Whereas, on the contrary, the novel suggests that Dracula’s adulation of Harker is for emotional torture and vampire feeding.
