Dracula Untold released in 2014 to middling reviews. Critics seemed to agree that the film wasn’t terrible, but certainly didn’t serve as an adequate franchise-starter, and even less an entryway into a planned “shared universe”.

Blade Runner 2049 director was “frightened” to take on the sequel
Imagine being given the task of directing the sequel to a 30 year old classic? That’s a tall order. The film has to be good, but not a retread. It also can’t be too different, or it risks alienating the original fanbase. However, it also needs to be accessible to a modern audience, and every […]
