Wissenswertes
Though Simone, a 17th century Frenchwoman, speaks English with an adopted French accent, Stana Katic actually can speak French, and it is one of five foreign languages in which she's fluent.

Patzer
When Flynn and Simone are trapped on Jean Lafitte's ship much is made of the fact that they are sealed inside a room with solid walls and that their only hope of escape is by breaking down the door with a cannon. Yet, when they are setting up the cannon the stern windows of the ship are clearly visible behind them. All they would have to do is smash the glass and crawl out.

Zitate
Katie: Maybe some women are ok with the wild and unpredictable lifestyle of dating a librarian, but I'm not.

I want to drink your blood, Mr. Bond!

The directing/writing team of Jonathan Frakes and Marco Schnabel are back for another movie in the series.

They open with a James Bond tribute. Our little nerd (Noah Wylie) has certainly come a long way. He is no longer a nerd, and has developed an amazing capability with a sword as displayed in a fight with an ex-KGB agent (Dikran Tulaine), who wants to restore Russia to its former glory.

His plan is to restore none other than Dracula, who will lead an army of vampires. With the success of "True Blood" and Twilight, a vampire story is expected, and it really made things exciting. Our villain has the body of Vlad the Impaler, and now all he needs in the chalice made out of the 30 pieces of silver given to Judas (The first I have heard of that!) But, Flynn Carsen (Wylie) is burned out. It is up to Jane Curtin, in a much meatier role, to get him started. But it is a dream sequence with Croation Stana Katic (Quantum of Solace) that gets him moving. What? No English heroine? Not appropriate in a movie involving vampires, you see.

With vampires, the movie is a bit more exciting and the special effects are ramped up. It is set in new Orleans and that is always a plus for the atmosphere and the music.

Oscar nominee Bruce Davison (Longtime Companion, Short Cuts) gives an impressive performance.

We get the expected ending, and are left wondering if this franchise has burned itself out, or if we will see our hero again two years from now.
