Anno Dracula series delayed, until its eventual release in September 2013. Francis Ford Coppola is making the film for which he will always be remembered—an adaptation of "Dracula" starring Marlon Brando as Dracula and Martin Sheen as Jonathan Harker. (It is a variation of "Apocalypse Now", complete with all the famous quotes and mishaps during filming, albeit in Romania instead of the Philippines.) The film crew is befriended by a young-looking vampire, who leaves with them when they return to America. "Coppola's Dracula" won the International Horror Guild Award for Best Long Fiction, and was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for Best
