The Horror of 'Dracula': The Unbelievable True Story of the 2013 TV Series
How could a straight-to-series greenlight go so wrong for the first TV series I ever created?! Today brings you the first part of a four-part real-life horror story I often describe as a cautionary tale for screenwriters ā and artists, in general ā about what can happen when all your dreams come true. A story so terrifying it became infamous in two different countriesā TV industries. I'm talking about the unbelievable true story of the development and pitch, sale, pilot script, and greenlight for NBC and Sky's 2013 series 'DRACULA' starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers and a boatload of other brilliant actors. If you've ever aspired to work in Hollywood, this is a must listen. Maybe it'll help you avoid the fate that befell me when I finally "made it".
