I snuck into the theater when he was in Boston with it...hated the production, but Langella was terrific-the most cuddlesome vampire ever to suck a jugular. Laurence Olivier will be Van Helsing-I'm gonna be first in line. Then Werner Herzog has remade Murnau's great Nosferatu-the one where Max Schreck looks like a giant...
