DRACULA ... coming soon!

I'm ridiculously excited about the BBC's new adaptation of Dracula from Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, the creators of Sherlock.  Claes Bang as the legendary Count looks fantastic; according to Netflix, although there's no official release date yet, it will probably air during the holidays.  There will be three episodes, and each will be roughly ninety minutes.

Also ... it looks delightfully queer, which thrills me to death, obviously.
