Dracula 2001 - Gerard Butler (Dracula) snarles to Tiscali
Gerard Butler may be an anaemic Dracula on-screen, but off-screen he's one angry man. Andrew Wong reports...
For a moment, anger flashes into the eyes of Gerard Butler. Since we've just seen him bite, scare and ensnare his way for 90 minutes through Dracula 2001, this is a most disconcerting sight. What have we unleashed?
The anger fades, and Butler calms down. "So you obviously haven't watched the movie", he accuses the journalist who's suggested that he plays Dracula with an Eastern European accent.
Butler's voice turns cold when the unfortunate man protests that he 'mis-remembered' the key accent, and Butler taunts: "oh, mis-remembered, very good one."
All in all, Dracula 2001 doesn't seem to have been a great experience for Butler, especially the agonies of filming. "You just see the coolness of Dracula - hopefully - in the movie but I certainly wasn't that cool when we were filming it.", he said.
"I had quite a lot of discomfort. Contact lenses, couldn't get them in, 40 minutes trying to get my contact lenses in, and I was crying. The teeth were cracking because I got tense and I'd grind my teeth and they'd snap. I kept biting myself with my teeth and I wasn't very considerate of the other actors. Whenever I bit their necks, I really went for it and I think I scratched necks a couple of times."
"I had to be tied up and submerged in swamp water on the final day, and there was an alligator about 20 ft away that everybody was feeding with turkey. And I was tied down so I couldn't get out and I would have to fly up through the water, and I put earplugs and everything up my nose, and it was like two hot spikes going right through my brain. That was particularly uncomfortable."
To make matters worse for Butler, he barely had time to prepare before he started filming the iconic role. "I became Dracula in one day, I'd been Atilla The Hun two days previously in Lithuiana, and suddenly I had my face shaved, my hair cut and I was Dracula and I was standing in front of Christopher Plummer being told to grab his lapels and throw him against the wall. He really helped me my first day because I did suddenly just stand there and go 'Holy s**t, I'm Dracula!'"
Butler's arrival on set was so rushed, he never even got the chance to say how he should be dressed. "The costumes were already designed. So I had no influence in the way I looked, though a lot in the feel of the character. With costumes and make-up there was another 12 guys making those decisions for me."
Not all bad news
Fortunately for Butler, filming in the steamy city of New Orleans - where Dracula heads to meet his nemesis's daughter, Mary Van Helsing (Justine Waddell) - also had its attractions. "When I was filming outside the Virgin Megastore, there was a car that drove up and down 2-3 times, with women baring their breasts. So that pretty much sums up New Orleans."
As Butler himself points out, New Orleans almost became another character for the film. "I'm very easily drawn to the dark side and that was perfect for the movie. It's a hot, sweaty, vibrant, dark town and it really helped the look and feel for the character, psychologically to get into the feel of things."
There have been over 100 Dracula movies, and Butler explained the appeal of the character to cinema and literary audiences. alike. "Dracula represents the ultimate in the dark side. He is the ultimate bad-ass, especially for guys, he can do pretty much what he wants. Yet there's a depth to him as well, the misunderstood, furious, anxious, frustrated, so there's a bit more to him. It's surprising how long his legend has endured, but that's probably one of the main reasons, in that he is ultimate in that respect, and there's nothing like a good stomach-churner if you're working on a good Dracula movie."
Butler also had nothing but praise for veteran actor Christopher Plummer, who played Dracula's enemy Van Helsing. "He was the funniest guy and I always felt he was doing it deliberately just to help me. He's having fun and then the next minute - bang! go action!- he's totally there."
With that, he left for Ireland to continue work on the ?95m Disney film Reign of Fire, starring alongside Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale. Before doing so, he left us in no doubt as to whether Dracula would rise again from the dead, and whether he'd reprise his role: "I hope not!"
