This week's Dream Cast Thursday is Dracula. There have been many adaptations (some are true to the novel, and others simply use the character). The hardest character to cast was definitely Dracula. For me, it will always be Gary Oldman. I looked at several adaptations when choosing my cast. The first adaptation that I looked at was Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). The second adaptation that I looked at was Dracula 2000. The last adaptation that I looked at was Bram Stoker's Dracula (2006).
The first character that I recast was Dracula. Dracula has been played by Gary Oldman (1992), Gerard Butler (2000), and Marc Warren (2006). For my cast, I chose Jason Isaacs.
The second character that I recast was Mina Murray (named Mary Heller in Dracula 2000). She has been played by Winona Ryder, Justine Waddell, and Stephanie Leonidas. For my cast, I chose Keira Knightley.
The third character that I recast was Jonathan Harker (named Simon Sheppard in Dracula 2000). He has been played by Keanu Reeves, Johnny Lee Miller, and Rafe Spall. For my cast, I chose Henry Cavill.
The fourth character that I recast was Lucy Westenra (named Lucy Westerman in Dracula 2000). She has been played by Sadie Frost, Colleen Fitzpatrick, and Sophia Myles. For my cast, I chose Sienna Miller.
The last character that I recast was Professor Abraham Van Helsing. He has been played by Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Plummer, and David Suchet. For my cast, I chose Liam Neeson.
So what do you all think of this cast? Who would be in your adaptation?
