In undertaking his film adaptation of Dracula, director Francis Ford Coppola was determined to remain faithful to the original Bram Stoker novel whilst leaving himself adequate freedom to examine it through his own sensibilities. Rejecting high-tech effects, he opted to employ old-time cinema illusions supervised by his son, Roman Coppola, with a host of providers including Michael Lantieri, Cannon Creations, Matte World, 4-Ward Productions, Fantasy II, Colossal Pictures, Visual Concept Engineering and Available Light.
