Certainly cliche as many others have noted, but I really do not mind it. The vampire mythos has its own sacred symbols and the neck bite is definitely one of the most iconic images people think of when they think of vampires..
That said, the new poster is kinda blah and not very interesting to me.
Have never cared for this actor and so far have not seen anything interesting. May give it a try just because I usually watch anything vampire..but I don't even think he is good looking.
Before I clicked this link, my only thought was, "Please don't let this suck." (Pun not intended.) There's been far too many promos for this show that have. The posters are pretty generic but after changing Dracula into the poor, misunderstood monster really the big draw is JRM so I say play that up. I don't mind the posters at all, cliche or not. The only thing I question is that Mina looks 14 in that outfit. What's up with that?
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
The poster is so cliche...
ReplyDeleteCliché as hell, we already saw that with TVD or Twilight. But please, don't put a love triangle in this show, I'm tired of this.
ReplyDeleteCliche yes, but damn he is the sexiest Dracula ever. *lick*
ReplyDeleteAnd he can act!
ReplyDeleteThere's no "real" love triangle in the story. Mina has a fiancee but he doesn't really matter to her.
ReplyDelete*eye roll*
ReplyDeletethank god. =)

ReplyDeleteSo, we're gonna have to suffer through an 'epic love story' like the 1992 movie, right?
ReplyDeleteThis is the second poster fail in a row for NBC's Dracula. This one makes the show look like a vampire themed Harlequin romance novel.
ReplyDeleteat first it was, " oh, a Dracula series!", then it was "hmm, the pictures look cheesy", and then i was "its NBC never mind".

ReplyDeleteAgreed about the love triangles. They are so old and played out now, the most cliche of all dramatic tension.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree.
