Get Ready For Another Spooky Vampire Movie!
Vampires are eternal. Especially in movies. So there’s going to be another spooky vampire moving coming out this year: Nosferatu! Made by Robert Eggers, who made The Witch, The Lighthouse and the Northman. Sadly, this movie is not called The Vampire or The Nosferatu. It’s a remake of a 1922 film, which was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
This could be fun. Weird and fun. I’ve only ever seen The Northman by Eggers, and was not all that impressed. He’s the guy who makes really weird, artsy movies. I want to like those, but I rarely do. So we’ll see. This is definitely spooky enough to be a spooky vampire movie.
Nosferatu comes out Christmas Day, because of course it does. Now that’s some synergy I can get behind!

Movie Trailer Monday, Redux
It’s Monday. I’m off from work. So how about I share some pretty neat movie trailers? Look, I love trailers. I love the editing, the teases, the jokes, the stingers at the end. I really enjoy a good trailer. And it’s easy, enjoyable content to fill a Monday. I’m off from work today and a nice, lazy post is right up my alley.
First up is the big one, a new, full trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
I’m not a big Indiana Jones nerd. I watched those movies when I was a kid, sure, but I don’t have the nostalgia for them that a lot of people do. And I find it a little silly that they keep dragging Old Man Harrison Ford back into service for these sequels. And just thinking about this movie makes me sad that Ke Huy Quan won’t be in this one. But Fleabag is in it, so maybe she’ll do all the heavy lifting.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny comes to theaters on June 30.
Next up is the final trailer for Renfield, this comes out this weekend.
This one could be fun. I think it’s going to be like the recent Dungeons & Dragons movie. It’s gonna be a pleasant watch, with enough jokes and heart to make it enjoyable. I like Awkwafina. I like Nicholas Hoult. But this might also just be a typical movie where our heroes team up and go fight random vampires, until a Dracula boss fight. I’ll find out this weekend!

A Bunch of Draculas, Animated
There are a bajillion draculas out there in the world. Thankfully, they’re all in movies, so the threat isn’t real. But there’s enough to kick off a fun Tell It Animated adventure!
I think it’d be fun for the Tell It Animated guy to do a whole series on movie Draculas. And then movie Frankensteins. Movie mummies, maybe? There are plenty of characters. He’s not going to run out anytime soon.
My recommendation? Minor Avengers. The Black Widow movie is coming out soon enough, so do an episode about her and throw in the likes of Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, War Machine and others that probably couldn’t fill a whole episode themselves!

Dracula Meets Sherlock, Hopefully
There’s going to be a new Dracula TV show/mini-series on BBC, from the guys who made Sherlock. I very much enjoyed Sherlock, as well as Steven Moffat’s time at the helm on Doctor Who.
Looks sufficiently spooky and serious. I don’t know what to expect from this new Dracula, but hopefully something as fun and well-made as Sherlock.
