If you were intrigued at how this masterpierce was put together by Francis Ford Copolla, then this book is for you. Complete with the history of the story, actors who played the characters and the director. Photos are priceless as well. You won't find them anywhere in the internet. ( )

Movie tie-in for Francis Ford Coppola's film with Winona Ryder and Gary Oldman. Contains film script, photos and stills, introduction by Coppola, afterword by Leonard Wolf. Oversized trade paperback. Printed on very nice slick glossy paper.

Okay, so it was only a good movie, not a great movie. As is obvious from the script, the liberties Coppola took with the novel betrayed his initial plan to make "Stoker's Dracula." He made "Coppola's Dracula" instead, which is only to be expected. And Keanu Reaves had no business in this flick...he was dreadfully miscast. Still, despite its flaws, it was a worthwhile effort and a beautifully shot film, which is why it is a good movie and not a horrible one, and why this is an enjoyable coffee table book. ( )
