As I was watching, I couldn't help but wish that they had used this movie as a springboard to launch that failed Universal Monsters-verse that they tried with the Tom Cruise Mummy movie. Renfield would be a great character to focus on as he recruits a League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen group to fight all the big bads out there. Make all the movies dark humor and over-the-top violence like this one. It would be so much fun if they hadn't marketed it as the beginning of a monster-verse, and just marketed it for what it is... it would have been awesome if the movie wrapped up with Dracula beginning a world domination quest and the bad guys win, fade to black. Then tack on a mid-credits scene with Renfield meeting with somebody and asking for help to find people who can help him.
Additionally, I'd really love a campy fun prequel to this movie totally in black and white with Nicolas Cage, like the intro. Fun movie!
