Also upcoming on Masterpiece Theatre: Dracula. Staring Sophia Miles from last years Doctor Who episode "The Girl in the Fireplace".
The Lord of the Undead stirs from his bed of Transylvanian dirt... Marc Warren (Band of Brothers) joins the ranks of the great screen Draculas with a performance as demonic as Bela Lugosi's (1931), as urbane as Christopher Lee's (1958), and as ominously sensual as Gary Oldman's (1992).
David Suchet (Poirot) stars as vampire scholar Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, an authority on the powers of garlic, crucifixes, and wooden stakes to combat these bloodsucking monsters. Also appearing are Sophia Myles (Art School Confidential, Marple) as Lucy Westenra, the chaste victim, and Stephanie Leonidas as Mina, who seems certain to follow her friend Lucy into the realm of the undead. Rafe Spall plays Mina's fiancé, Jonathan Harker; Dan Stevens is Lucy's new husband, Arthur Holmwood; and Tom Burke plays Dr. John Seward, Lucy's failed suitor and the attending physician during her horrible descent into vampirism.
