Is it true that Dracula is just a remake of Francis Ford Coppolas version?
Not really; Brady did use James V Heart’s screenplay as the foundation for the movie but changed most of the script. He used elements from old Hammer films on Dracula as well as F.W. Mernau’s Nosferatu and even Vampyr. It was more of an homage to the Dracula character, the novel, and past Dracula movies than it was a remake of any one thing.
