Fiction Adaptation: Dracula Series
The series of Dracula is based on the book by Bram Stoker the same as the films, I wondered how they was going to make the series as its 10 episodes lasting 40 minutes and the films are just over an hour and a half each so I was thinking there wouldn't be enough of a storyline.
This is modernised but still set in victorian times and has the same storyline as the films but Dracula goes by a different name as everyone these days knows the name Dracula plus there is also the order of the dragon with is set up to kill vampires and they know of Dracula, so he goes by the name Alexander Grayson rather than Vlad Dracula.
In the series the difference is that Dracula wants to be good so that he serves Mina rather than just talking her which is what happens in the book so he with the help of Van Helsing, the doctor, tries to make him more human by letting him walk in the daylight, now in the book Van Helsing works against Dracula but he helps him in the series and he is the one who awakens him at the beginning.
Dracula still employs Jonathan and wins Mina, with all the twists like turning Lucy etc.
The order of the dragon find out who Dracula is they try and kill him but end up killing half the town and he survives and Mina falls for him by herself, plus Jonathan turns on Dracula by joining the order of the dragon because he steals his fiancé.
