Other than these two nitpicks I really appreciated this version in many ways from esthetics and casting to the nuances to the myth(ology) and themes. And this is from someone for whom Coppola's Dracula is a top 10, maybe top 5 movie, so it was a hard sell going in 🧐🖤

Maybe these two items are intentionally surrealist, willfully and lovingly replicating both Bram Stoker's mood and plot points and that light incoherence from Murnau's "legally distinct" adaptation, but it gave me an uneasy feeling of mainland Europe being shown as a uniform blob/fake decor.

2) what was the itinerary of the ship from Romania to northern Germany? I get that traveling by land is dangerous for Orlock, but isn't a crazy detour? It made some sense in Dracula where he was traveling to London on the Demeter but here it is really an unnecessary detour/risk (insert ⛸️⛰️ joke).

1) Wisburg didn't feel much like Germany? Esthetically and thematically it was very hard not to see England (or Gristol? 😅). Feels like a missed opportunity for a more mainland European approach to this story/setting, no?

I think I’ve said this boringly in interviews, but one of the perks of working on existing IP is that you get to study a set of creative choices. I know TRON better than I’ll probably ever know any creative work by another person. That study is rewarding, and finding ways to adapt the essence? 👨🍳😘
