Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Interesting. Given that both Dario and Rutger are somewhat past the prime of their success, this could either be a two-way career-saver, or a shameful wallow in mediocrity (like Giallo was). |
Rutger Hauer used to be great...maybe not as an actor, but just as a charismatic badass, but he's really in need of a transition to something more gritty and less dependent on him muttering "Don't you know I was in Blade Runner" in the mirror before he walks out to shoot a scene. |

Hauer's been kicking some ass in recent years, if you ask me. Batman Begins, Sin City, and now Hobo With a Shotgun looks like a blast. True, he's had some low budget stinkers, but at least the guy is keeping busy. |

Rutger Hauer is the MAN. |

I don't think Argento has fallen completely - Mother of Tears couldn't touch Suspiria or Inferno, and was just total B-movie trash, but I found it to be incredibly entertaining B-movie trash. A total throwback to old-school Italian exploitation but with good budget and a 21st century sense of humour. Definitely his best since 1985's Phenomena. So here's hoping Dracula 3D follows in the same vein... and let's just forget about Giallo and The Card Player... |

Don't know how many have seen "Do You Like Hitchcock?" by Argento but it's my most favorite film made by Argento and is extremely good. It is fairly new as it was made within the last decade or so. |

I would just like to see someone finally do the book justice. I read that book as a kid and it took me six months to get through it, but I loved every minute of it. |
Rutger and Argento? Im sold, it may not be accurate to the book but it will be alot of fun thats for sure. |
Why arent you laughing?
So Hauer is up to play Van Helsing in this new Dracula film... It was only a few years ago he was Dracula himself! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303929/ |

Yeah, I'd heard that a week or 2 ago. Rutger as Van Helsing? I'm TOTALLY down with that. |
