It’s been almost a year that ‘Dracula‘ premiered on BBC. It has since been released on DVD in both the UK and the US. Now, the Bram Stoker adaptation starring Sophia Myles as (eventual) vampire Lucy has been released on a German DVD!
Since there’s no new episode of ‘Moonlight’ until next week and the series is not yet airing anywhere outside the States - except in Australia as of next week Dec 12th at 9:30PM on Channel 9 - it might be a good idea to watch this film in the meantime. Buy the DVD on Amazon US

Reminder: ‘Hallam Foe’ will have its world premiere this Friday at the Berlin Film Festival. The film has already had a market screening and the Hallam team has been busy meeting with potential buyers. The film’s publicist Mat Sanders has been busy these past few days signing up journalists to the interview schedule. Later this week he will be taking David, Jamie and Sophia to the festival’s official press conference, photocall and premiere screening on Friday and running all their press interviews. Read more about the whole preparation going on in Berlin at the film’s offficial blog.
A general UK theatrical release date has yet to be confirmed. LaunchingFilms is however listing August 31. But maybe the presentation at the Berlin Film Festival will get the film an earlier release?!
‘Dracula’ aired on PBS yesterday. The reviews aren’t that good. They didn’t say much about the performances but disliked mostly the lack of subtlety. Reuters:
It’s all suitably chilling and terrifying, and to be fair, it does stay true to Stoker’s novel in much of the plotting. But this reimagining is far more literal and unsubtle than your daddy’s “Dracula,” pushing its monstrous visuals and bloodletting to the forefront in a fashion that’s not captivating so much as overpowering.
What are your thoughts? Feel free to post and discuss at the messageboard!

Here now the promised ‘Dracula’ screencaptures. Sophia Myles looked absolutely beautiful and sexy in this. I found some promotional photoshoot pictures from Dracula in UK newspapers. I’ve added the scans.
I’ve also uploaded the ‘Hallam Foe’ trailer screencaps. It looks promising, the music sounds great and I just love Sophia’s Scottish accent.

A little bit of trivia to start this first update of 2007: in a recent Doctor Who Magazine poll Sophia Myles was voted #3 in the category ‘Best Supporting Actress’:
1 Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith)- 26.89%
2 Camille Coduri (Jackie Tyler)- 18.56%
3 Sophia Myles (Reinette)- 18.45%
4 Pauline Collins (Queen Victoria)- 8.35%
5 Tracy-Ann Oberman (Yvonne Hartman)- 7.89%
Others- 19.86%
Despite divided opinions on the latest adaptation of Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ the BBC programme also starring Sophia Myles proved to be a hit in terms of audience figures:
Thursday’s screening aired on BBC1 at 9pm and was seen by 5.1 million people, a 22% share of the overall audience, making it the day’s most-watched programme in the UK.
Here now the latest gallery additions, including the promised Radio Times and The Times magazine scans:

01 Underworld - Stills Thank you Tara
03 The Times - T2 (this magazine is unfortunately printed on low quality paper)

Don’t forget: ‘Dracula’ airs tonight on BBC1 in the UK.
This is probably my last update this year - unless I somehow get the promised magazines & scans before. So I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Sophia Myles for being an inspiration to all of us. Her performances certainly enlighten the programmes we watch for our entertainment. Career-wise, it has been an amazing year for Sophia Myles. Congratulations!
2006 saw the release of ‘Tristan & Isolde’, ‘Art School Confidential’, ‘Marple: Sleeping Murder’, and ‘The Hades Factor’ on the big or silver screen as well as on DVD. Residents from the UK as well as from other parts of the world have been exposed to Sophia Myles’ magic. Additionally, her guest appearances in ‘Extras’ and ‘Doctor Who’ have proven that producers are not unfamiliar with her name and what it stands for: credible, natural, enchanting and passionate performances. Sophia Myles has been busy working on upcoming projects: ‘Hallam Foe (shot in Scotland March 27 - May 11, 2006), ‘Dracula’, which airs tonight (shot in England August 7 - 27, 2006) and ‘Outlander’ during the past few weeks in isolate Nova Scotia, Canada. This is certainly an exciting project as it will bring back Sophia Myles to the big screen in a rather commercial production.
Also many thanks & best wishes to you, loyal visitor: your appreciation of & gratitude for my work here on SophiaMyles.Org have been very encouraging. Let’s not forget my trusted helpers. You know who you are, everyone who contributed something, be it pictures, infos, big or tiny, your help is much appreciated. Without further ado: Welcome to 2007!

On British television at least 2 trailers to advertise tomorrow’s BBC1 ‘Dracula’ airing have been shown. They are now available at Youtube & bytheway sent in .wmv versions.
• Trailer 1 (YouTube)
• Trailer 2 (YouTube)
• Trailer 1 & 2 download zipped .wmv versions
Screencaptures of that are coming soon. Meanwhile the artwork for the British DVD is out (view). This announcement got my attention. According to the press release these people got the UK release date seems now to be January 8. And we may not get the additional ‘Deleted Scenes’ after all. I did some checking on all the major UK DVD online sellers and the dates they give are between January 2 - 15… All a bit confusing!
These days Sophia’s back in England. Shooting for ‘Outlander’ is on hold over the Holidays and will resume filming next week. Sophia accompanied David Tennant to his Virgin Radio Christmas pantomime ‘Cinderella’. Thank you Amo for pointing me to pictures of them arriving and leaving the building.

Hallam Foe’s official film blog GetYourPeople has been posting great stills. I’ve added the Sophia ones. Enjoy!
BBC’s official ‘Dracula’ page is found here.

I’ve been doing some more research on the upcoming US airing of ‘Dracula’.
Apparently, it will air on American PBS as part of their masterpiece theatre series (They also aired Sophia’s previous projects Oliver Twist, Foyle’s War and Marple: Sleeping Murder). According to the programme listing the US airing is to be on Sunday, February 11, 2007 at 9:00 PM.
However, Shop PBS lists the release date for the Region 1 DVD for January 8, 2007. My guess is the airing date is correct and the DVD release date will be changed to some date soon after February 11th.
As for UK residents: you currently have a chance to see a short glimpse of Sophia in action in the BBC Christmas trailer, the one where they advertise all the upcoming big shows, including Doctor Who. To view it online go to YouTube. As always with youtube I have problems watching it. Could anybody send in screencaps of Sophia’s appearance? That’d be great!!
I’ve added the UK and US Dracula artwork to the gallery. As well as the scan of the new photoshoot of Sophia that goes with her latest interview in the Independent Magazine.
