#Dracula #KeanuReeves #JennaOrtega Take a look at 'First Trailer' concept for Universal Pictures movie DRACULA (2025) (More Info About This Video Down Below) The Inspiration behind this video: If Coppola wanted a Harker who fit the primary cast's tone, he would have needed to look no further than dueling hams Richard E. Grant and Cary Elwes, who both play lesser love interests of the doomed Lucy in this arguably overstuffed—and inarguably overdramatic—adaptation. The high drama and intense romance of Bram Stoker's Dracula make this adaptation unique, but with both of these actors typically being the most charismatic screen presence in everything they crop up in, it's a testament to the aesthetic and very specific sensibilities of Coppola's adaptation that they're lost in the mix. Grant and Elwes fail to make an impression among Gary Oldman's lovelorn vamp, Anthony Hopkins' goofy take on Van Helsing, and Winona Ryder's wild-eyed Mina. In contrast, the Jonathan audiences got out of Keanu Reeves stands out precisely because his performance is so flat and affectless, thus creating a perfect contrast with the like of Oldman, Ryder, and Hopkins. While talented, veteran actors, their collective scenery-chewing could have easily become irritating without a straight man foil around to balance out the proceedings in Bram Stoker's Dracula. The criticism for Reeves' performance might have been harsh, but his straight-laced delivery filled a necessary purpose and, while not the most scene-stealing role, too much would have likely hurt Coppola's movie more than it helped.
