00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.823
- May God have mercy on us all.

2
00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:10.320
- We kind of went from, I
guess the very earliest concept

3
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.320
would probably be
"Nosferatu", the old movie,

4
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.890
where he's kind of a creatury person.

5
00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:18.820
But I think we wanted to also
be able to go all the way

6
00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:23.040
and portray him as a bat properly.

7
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:24.990
And then you start looking
at what bats look like,

8
00:00:24.990 --> 00:00:26.290
and then you start looking

9
00:00:27.150 --> 00:00:28.320
at what kind of creature he needs to be.

10
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.380
And we had the greatest
people in the business

11
00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:35.321
help us mold and figure
out what he could be.

12
00:00:35.321 --> 00:00:39.450
But it took a while to
get to this final stage.

13
00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:43.350
And Javier is such an
amazing creature performer.

14
00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:46.782
He knows what is, he can
give you anything you want.

15
00:00:46.782 --> 00:00:50.190
He can walk on set, and
sometimes we just keep filming,

16
00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:53.940
and he would just give
performance nuance after nuance

17
00:00:53.940 --> 00:00:57.142
in what Dracula would do
in this particular moment.

18
00:00:57.142 --> 00:00:59.550
But it was also great
just talking with him

19
00:00:59.550 --> 00:01:03.330
and figuring out what his mentality was

20
00:01:03.330 --> 00:01:04.478
throughout the process.

21
00:01:04.478 --> 00:01:06.490
- He's coming!

22
00:01:06.490 --> 00:01:09.240
(dramatic music)
