The Trailer For Dario Argento's Dracula 3D Leaks It's Way Online
Although the production value is kinda raw and the FX aren't yet set in place, a leaked trailer for Dario Argento's Dracula 3D
has hit the scene like a bat out of hell. Given Argento's involvement, it's pretty safe to say that this telling is going to be a violent and bloody take on Bram Stoker's legend. If you don't believe us, here's a sweet taste of what's to come...
Plot Synops:
The tale begins with Jonathan Harker, journeying by train and carriage from England to Count Dracula's crumbling, remote castle tuated in the Carpathian Mountains on the border of Transylvania. The purpose of his mison is to catalogue the big library of Dracula. At first enticed by Dracula's gracious manner, Harker soon discovers that he has become a prisoner in the castle. He also begins to see disquieting facets of Dracula's nocturnal life. One night while searching for a way out of the castle, and against Dracula's strict admonition not to venture outde his room at night, Harker falls under the spell of three wanton female vampires, the Brides of Dracula.
He is saved at the last second by the Count, because he wants to keep Harker alive. Harker barely escapes from the castle with his life. Soon Dracula is tracking Harker's devoted fiancée, Wilhelmina "Mina" Murray, and her friend, Lucy Westenra. There is a notable encounter between Dracula and Renfield, an insane man who means to consume insects, spiders, birds, and other creatures in ascending order of ze in order to absorb their "life force". Renfield acts as a motion sensor, detecting Dracula's proximity and supplying clues accordingly.
Lucy begins to waste away suspiciously. All her suitors fret, and Seward calls in his old teacher, Professor Abraham Van Helng from Amsterdam. Van Helng immediately determines the cause of Lucy's condition but refuses to disclose it, knowing that Seward's faith in him will be shaken if he starts to speak of vampires. Van Helng tries multiple blood transfuons, but they are clearly long ground. On a night when Van Helng must return to Amsterdam, Lucy and her mother are attacked by a wolf. Mrs Westenra, who has a heart condition, dies of fright, and Lucy apparently dies soon after. Lucy is buried, but soon afterward the newspapers report children being stalked in the night by a "bloofer lady". Van Helng knows that this means Lucy has become a vampire. The suitors and Van Helng track her down, and after a disturbing confrontation between her vampiric self and Arthur, they stake her heart, behead her, and fill her mouth with garlic.
Around the same time, Jonathan Harker arrives home from recuperation in Budapest; he and Mina also join the coalition, who turn their attentions to dealing with Dracula. After Dracula learns of Van Helng and the others' plot against him, he takes revenge by vitingand biting Mina at least three times. Dracula also feeds Mina his blood, creating a spiritual bond between them to control her. The only way to forestall this is to kill Dracula first. Mina slowly succumbs to the blood of the vampire that flows through her veins, switching back and forth from a state of consciousness to a state of semi-trance during which she is telepathically connected with Dracula. It is this connection that they start to use to deduce Dracula's movements.
It is only posble to detect Dracula's surroundings when Mina is put under hypnos by Van Helng. This ability gradually gets weaker as the group make their way to Dracula's castle. Dracula flees back to his castle in Transylvania, followed by Van Helng's group, who manage to track him down just before sundown and destroy him by shearing "through the throat" with a knife and stabbing him in the heart also with a knife. Dracula crumbles to dust, his spell is lifted and Mina is freed from the marks. Quincey Morris is killed in the final battle, stabbed by Gypes who had been charged with returning Dracula to his castle; the survivors return to England.

well, we know what happens to Renfield.
No suspense there.
Looks like Rutger Hauer gets banged around quite a bit.
He's always been one of my favs.
ever nce The Hitcher.
But I smell something bad with this.
We'll have to wait and see.

Wow this trailer ruins the whole film, we already know how most of the main characters die and a Praying mantis? That was one of the weirdest trailers I've ever seen!

This does not seem good...
It seems more like a spoof of a Dracula or Dario Argento film...
