PRODUCTION INFORMATION

Dracula 2001's update begins with team of techno-savvy thieves who break into a high-security vault, hoping to steal priceless artworks. To their utter disbelief, the vault instead hides a well-protected crypt, a crypt that has not been opened in 100 years, a crypt that will unleash Dracula's ancient terror upon the modern world – and all who come into contact with him.

Dracula, freed at last from a century in confinement, finds himself in a 21st century of chaos and temptation, of Virgin record stores and subterranean nightclubs, where he fits right in. His first destination is the United States – the ultimate location for his charismatic seductions of beautiful young women and his unceasing quest for power – but there is another reason he has come here. Somewhere in New Orleans is a young woman Dracula must find . . . the only person on earth with whom he truly shares his dark legacy.

WES CRAVEN PRESENTS DRACULA 2001 is directed by Patrick Lussier ("Prophecy III," editor of the "Scream" trilogy) from a script by Joel Soisson ("Highlander : Endgame") and produced by Soisson and W.K. Border of Neo Arts and Logic ("The Prophesy," "Trekkies.") Wes Craven and Marianne Maddalena are the executive producers.

The film stars Christopher Plummer ("The Insider," "Twelve Monkeys"), Jonny Lee Miller ("Trainspotting," "Mansfield Park"), Justine Waddell ("Mansfield Park," "Anna Karenina"), Gerard Butler ("Tomorrow Never Dies," "Attila"), Omar Epps ("Higher Learning," "Scream 2"), Jennifer Esposito ("Summer of Sam," "Spin City"), Danny Masterson ("The Faculty," "That 70s Show"), Sean Patrick Thomas ("Courage Under Fire," "Cruel Intentions"), Jeri Ryan ("Star Trek: Voyager") and Colleen Ann Fitzpatrick (a.k.a pop star Vitamin C).

On the technical side, creating the richly stylized look of DRACULA 2001 are acclaimed art director Carol Spier ("Mimic," "eXistenZ") and costume designer Denise Cronenberg ("The Third Miracles," "eXistenZ" and director of photography Peter Pau ("Bride of Chuckie," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.")

* * *

DRACULA 2001 brings the vampire's storied legend screaming into the realistic present. Screenwriter Joel Soisson knew the many myths and speculations surrounding Dracula's past but asked himself a series of disturbing questions about his present: What if Bram Stoker's Dracula wasn't just a story, as we'd like to think, but a true accounting of a strange and unsolved phenomenon? And what if the impaled Dracula never really died? And, furthermore, what if he awoke in the year 2001, hungry, lonely and ready to continue his macabre seductions in a contemporary America where no one is ready to believe he exists?

Soisson decided to explore the possibilities, and with them, the one secret about the Prince of Darkness no-one has ever revealed: the true source of his fury and his hidden identity.

Soisson's script was not only revelatory but stylish and sexy, exploring Dracula's hunger for a deeper connection to someone on earth. DRACULA 2001 director Patrick Lussier, who came to directing after a long association with Wes Craven as his editor, was thrilled by how the script unveiled the timeless human instincts at work beneath Dracula's continuing allure.

"Dracula is not only the most sensual and sexual of all our modern anti-heroes, he is also one of the most sensual characters in all of literature," says Lussier. "It's no wonder that Dracula is one of the most popular film characters in the world, even more so in the year 2001. And now we return to his struggle with his latest battle between light and dark, wrapped in a captivating story of seduction and temptation."

Lussier also was excited by the opportunity to get input from his friend and contemporary master of suspense, Wes Craven, who is executive producer. Craven lent his unique understanding of the psychology of fear to the film and was key in mixing the contemporary, youthful feel with Dracula's ancient power. Craven took a hand in every aspect of the film's development, from the screenplay to the casting.

Craven and Marianne Maddalena, his longtime partner that is also serving as an executive producer, along with producers Joel Soisson and W.K. Border, also worked with Patrick Lussier to assemble a stand-out cast of exciting young actors to bring DRACULA 2001 to visceral life. To give Dracula a fresh, contemporary presence, Craven himself selected Gerard Butler, a charming Scottish newcomer who presented the perfect mix of biting wit and undeniable sex appeal underscored by a darker side, to star as the Prince of Darkness.

Omar Epps, Lochlyn Munro, Danny Masterson, Sean Patrick Thomas and Tig Fong joined the cast as the ambitious young thieves who unexpectedly let loose Dracula's frightening power on the world – and themselves.

And then there are the only two people who have a shot at stopping Dracula's eternal thirst: Jonny Lee Miller stars as Simon, Van Helsing's assistant who discovers the truth of Dracula's existence, and Justine Waddell is the mysterious Mary, the New Orleans record-store clerk whose eerie dreams and shadowy past seem to be bringing her closer and closer to Dracula, and the truth of where he comes from and what he wants.

The young cast is joined by legendary stage and screen veteran Christopher Plummer in the role of renowned vampire hunter, Abraham Van Helsing, who has been holding Dracula's evil at bay since Victorian times, keeping a secret he hoped would never get out.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS

Patrick Lussier (Director)

Patrick Lussier came to directing after a successful career behind the scenes as an editor. His long professional association with horror master West Craven began when Lussier was editing Craven's television series, "Nightmare Cafe." Following that series, he was invited to cut the director's genre-smashing reinterpretation of his "Elm Street" creation, "Wes Craven's New Nightmare." An integral part of Craven's filmmaking family from then on, Lussier has edited all of his subsequent films, including the hugely successful Dimension "Scream" trilogy and the Oscar-nominated "Music of the Heart." For other directors, Lussier has edited "Halloween H2O: Twenty Years Later," "Mimic," "D3: The Mighty Ducks," "Dr. Who: Enemy Within," as well as several other movies of the week and television series including "MacGyver" and "Highlander." Lussier was nominated for two consecutive years for the Gemini Award for Best Editing for "Adrift" and "Heads." He recently made his directorial debut with the Dimension film "Prophesy III: The Ascent," starring Christopher Walken, Vincent Spano and Brad Dourif.

Wes Craven (Executive Producer)

Wes Craven has been challenging audiences with his bold visions for more than 25 years. In the past three years alone, he has created three dazzlingly different new works. He directed Academy Award-winning Meryl Streep in "Music of the Heart," his first dramatic feature film; he completed the final installment of the hugely successful "Scream" trilogy; and made his debut as novelist with Simon & Schuster's publication of "Fountain Society."

Craven's career has been marked by both creative and commercial milestones. The irreverent and genre-bending "Scream," the winner of MTV's 1996 Best Movie Award, grossed more than $100 million domestically. "Scream 2," the 1997 sequel with an attitude about sequels, also topped $100 million in domestic box office and "Scream 3" has currently grossed over $89 million domestically.

This success gave Craven the freedom to pursue a career-long dream. He directed his first non-genre film, "Music of the Heart," based on the real-life story of teacher Robert Guaspari and her violin students in East Harlem.

Recently, Craven and his long-time producing partner, Marianne Maddalena, signed a four-year deal with Miramax and Dimension Films. Under that deal, Craven will direct and Maddalena will produce two films for Miramax and/or Dimension. In addition, they will produce four genre films for Dimension under the banner "Wes Craven Presents." Craven is also set to direct the screen adaptation of his first novel, the science fiction thriller "Fountain Society," for Dreamworks.

Craven reinvented the youth horror genre in 1984 with the classic "A Nightmare on Elm Street," a film he wrote and directed. Although he did not direct any of the next five sequels, he deconstructed the genre a decade later with the audacious "Wes Craven's New Nightmare," which was nominated Best Feature at the 1995 Independent Spirit Awards. He has also directed "Vampire in Brooklyn," "The Serpent and the Rainbow" and "Deadly Friend." He wrote and directed "The People Under the Stairs," "Shocker" and "Swamp Thing." He wrote, directed and edited "The Hills Have Eyes." Craven's first feature film was the riveting "Last House on the Left," which he wrote, directed and edited in 1972.

For television, Craven helped create and produce the series "Nightmare Cafe" for NBC. He directed the telefilm's "Night Visions," "A Stranger In Our House," "Invitation To Hell," "Chiller" and "Casebusters." He also directed seven classic episodes of the 1980's revival of "The Twilight Zone."

Craven was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and holds a Master's Degree in writing and philosophy from John Hopkins University in Baltimore.

Marianne Maddalena (Executive Producer)

Marianne Maddalena is President of Craven/Maddalena Films and has collaborated with director Wes Craven for the past 13 years. She joined his creative team in 1987 for the production of the Universal film, "The Serpent and The Rainbow." Recently, Maddalena and Craven signed an exclusive four-year deal with Miramax Films and sister company, Dimension Films.

Maddalena served as executive producer of "Vampire in Brooklyn," starring Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett for Paramount. She produced "Wes Craven's New Nightmare," reuniting Heather Langenkamp and Robert Englund, "The People Under the Stairs," with Peter Berg and Mitch Pileggi, and the NBC series "Nightmare Cafe."

Maddalena assembled an impressive cast including Meryl Streep, Gloria Estefan (in her screen debut), Angela Bassett and Aidan Quinn, for the 1999 Miramax drama "Music of the Heart." Most recently, Maddalena produced "Scream 3" for Dimension Films.

Joel Soisson (Screenplay/Producer)/W.K. Border (Producer)

Producing partners Joel Soisson and W.K. Border first teamed up on Orion Pictures' "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." Shortly thereafter they formed Neo Motion Pictures with Michael Leahy and have gone on to produce over 30 feature films, including "Infinity" with Matthew Broderick and the cult favorite

"Trekkies." Their long-term asociation with Dimension Films began with the 1995 hit "The Prophecy." Since then, they've added two more "Prophecy" installments, making it a trilogy. WES CRAVEN PRESENTS DRACULA 2001 marks their ninth and largest production with Dimension to date. In 1998, Neo Motion Pictures became Neo Art & Logic to reflect the growing diversity of the company.

W.K. Border comes to DRACULA 2001 having already produced and directed the highly provocative "Sex, Death and Eyeliner," Neo's feature-length documentary about the Goth scene and the Dracula cult surrounding the centennial anniversary of Bram Stoker's famous novel.

Joel Soisson, besides producing, has written nine features including "Mimic" and "Highlander: Endgame."

Carol Spier (Production Designer)

Carol Spier has over twenty years experience as a designer for film and television. Her credits include such films as "Bless The Child," "Mimic," "The Santa Clause," "Canadian Bacon," "Joe's Apartment," "Consenting Adults" and "Renegades."

Butterfly," "The Fly," "The Dead Zone," "Videodrome," "Scanners," "The Brood" and "Fast Company." In addition, she was art director on Norman Jewison's "Agnes of God" and John Schlesinger's "The Believers."

For television, her production design credits include the Showtime cable features "Dash and Lily" and "Gotham," and the PBS/CBC series "Anne of Green Gables" for which she received a Canadian Gemini Awards for Best Art Direction. Additional television credits include "Escape From Iran," "Friday's Curse," "Scales of Justice" and "X-Rated."

Peter Pau (Director of Photography)

Peter Pau previously worked with director Ronny Yu on "The Bride With White Hair," for which he won a Hong Kong Film Award for Best Cinematography and "Warriors of Virtue," which he also co-produced. He and Yu again collaborated on "The Phantom Lover." His most recent production credits include "Double Team," with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Anna Magdalena and "Bride of Chucky," with Jennifer Tilley and Brad Dourif. His most recent feature, Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," premiered to international acclaim in competition at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.

Pau earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Filmmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute, and then returned to his native Hong Kong. There, he has emerged as one of the most respected and sought-after cinematographers in the Asian cinema, lensing over 25 feature films and numerous commercials. He has earned awards for his work on "Saviour of the Soul" and "A Fishy Story" and has been acknowledged for his work on such films as John Woo's "The Killer," "Treasure Hunt," "Justice My Foot," "Bury Me High," "Swordsman," "A Terra Cotta Warrior," "To Be Number One" and "The Legend of Wisely."

Denise Cronenberg (Costume Designer)

Denise Cronenberg has designed the costumes for such films as "Bless the Child," starring Kim Basinger and Jimmy Smits; "Murder at 1600," starring Wesley Snipes; Agnieszka Holland's "The Third Miracle," starring Anne Heche, Ed Harris and Armand Mueller-Stahl; "A Cool, Dry Place"; "Moonlight and Valentino" starring Whoopi-Goldberg and Gwyneth Paltrow; and William Friedkin's "The Guardian."
