Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 1h) The line in the film where Jonny Lee Miller playing Simon Sheppard says, "Never, ever fuck with an antiques dealer," was a line the actor would say on set as a joke. The director liked it and incorporated it into the scene.
- GoofsVan Helsing's office building is in London, but the Security Guards on duty are armed. Security guards in England do not, and cannot, carry guns. Handguns are illegal in the UK and private citizens, even security guards, cannot even possess handguns, much less can they carry them about. Handguns can only be carried by the armed forces and by specially trained police officers (and even then it is rare to see even an armed police officer).
- Quotes
[while struggling with Marcus, Simon produces a cross]
Marcus: Sorry sport. I'm an atheist.
[a dagger pops out of the cross's base]
Simon Sheppard: God loves you anyway.
[He stabs Marcus in the eye with it]
- Crazy creditsAs the credits roll, interspersed in the words, are coloured pictures of things important to the movie's premise, including a row of teeth, a bat, and a cross. These pictures are seen both on the left and right sides.
- ConnectionsEdited into Dracula 2000: Deleted Scenes (2001)
First of all, I had entirely forgotten that the movie had Gerard Butler playing the part of Dracula, and that was actually a really nice touch to the movie.
The storyline in "Dracula 2000", as written by Joel Soisson and Patrick Lussier, is a reinvention of the Bram Stoker novel, but of course with some major changes added to it. And it actually worked out well enough, because I was certainly entertained by this movie. In fact, the movie was actually not as corny and cheesy as I remembered it to be.
The movie has a great cast ensemble, with the likes of Gerard Butler, Christopher Plummer, Jonny Lee Miller, Justine Waddell, Jennifer Esposito, Omar Epps, Sean Patrick Thomas, Danny Masterson, Lochlyn Munro and Nathan Fillion as well. So there are a bunch of familiar faces on the cast list.
Visually then "Dracula 2000" was good, despite it being a movie that wasn't relying heavily on special effects.
My rating of director Patrick Lussier's 2000 movie "Dracula 2000" lands on a six out of ten stars.
