Dexter Fletcher To direct Renfield

[Ian Jane]

"Dexter Fletcher is attached to direct Renfield, which will focus on the character who to many is still best remembered for Dwight Frye’s wicked laugh in 1931's Dracula (or Tom Waits just being wicked, period, in 1992's Bram Stoker’s Dracula). The Walking Dead comic series creator Robert Kirkman first came up with the pitch, which has since been written as a script by Rick And Morty’s Ryan Ridley."

So a film about a side character from a famous story, made by a an actor turned mediocre mainstream film director, from an idea by a writer of a comic that became an utterly mediocre TV-series from a script by a staff writer of a reasonably ok cartoon is what they consider hype worthy now?

[Ian Jane]

That's correct.

[The Silly Swede]

That's correct.

Well it kind of failed to wow me. So I was just wondering.
