What could lead me to try to quit the first TV series I ever created - 'DRACULA' (2013) starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Oliver Jackson Cohen, and Jessica De Gouw?!Today brings you Part 2 of a four-part real-life horror story I often describe as a cautionary tale for screenwriters – and artists, in general – about what can happen when all your dreams come true.A story so terrifying it became infamous in two different countries’ 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'. 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".If you haven't listened to Part 1, start there: https://pod.link/1807437928/episode/NWNkNTk0N2MtNDE5MC00YWZhLWE4NjktZDk3Zjc2MDM3MjVl?view=apps&sort=popularityListen to Part 3 here: ⁠https://pod.link/1807437928/episode/MDg1N2MzMTEtY2Q3Yi00ZmM0LTliZGItNDBiZTQ0MWMxMDk1?view=apps&sort=popularity⁠Listen to Part 4 here: ⁠https://pod.link/1807437928/episode/OTEwMDNmZTYtYTUzZS00YTk4LWJjM2ItMzljYTczNzdlODlm?view=apps&sort=popularity⁠LINKS:Watch the trailer for 'Dracula' (2013): ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCT9o4oFXNI&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fcolehaddon.substack.com%2F⁠Learn more about the series at Wikipedia: ⁠https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula_(2013_TV_series)⁠Read more about my experiences on 'Dracula' at Substack: ⁠https://colehaddon.substack.com/p/5am-storytalk-reflections-will-the⁠SUBSCRIBE TO THE '5AM STORYTALK NEWSLETTER'⁠⁠⁠https://colehaddon.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠You'll gain access to both the 5AM StoryTalk newsletter and all episodes of this podcast – including exclusive bonus episodes in which my guests discuss seminal pieces of art from their lives.
