as Cinematical blogger Elisabeth Rappe points out, Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, has an ending and a pretty definitive one at that. She reports, however, that Stoker's great-grandnephew (Dacre Stoker....okay, that sounds sexy!) has been authorized by the Stoker estate to write a sequel to be called Dracula: The Undead, based on characters and plots edited out of Bram's version, which will then be adapted into a feature film. Dacre, sexy or not, I really feel is messing with something that needs no further interpretation but who am I to judge? If you've read Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian, you'll know what I mean :) Anyway, I'm not a big fan of sequels to anything at all.
What do ya'll think?
