In 1928, Turkish author Ali Rıza Seyfioğlu pirated Bram Stoker’s DRACULA, rewriting it with new material, patriotic overtones, and Islam. A rare example of a “bootleg” novel, it’s also the first adaptation to plainly identify Dracula as the historical warlord Vlad the Impaler. When a modern Istanbul is threatened by the invasion of an ancient vampire, three veterans of the Turkish War of Independence are thrust into a conflict with their nation’s hereditary enemy. Seyfioğlu boldly reworks Stoker’s classic tale, retelling it from the unique perspective of a people once routed by the real-life Dracula. DRACULA IN ISTANBUL: THE UNAUTHORIZED VERSION OF THE GOTHIC CLASSIC also includes a foreword by ANNO DRACULA author Kim Newman, an introduction by Turkish translation scholar Şehnaz Tahir Gürçağlar, an afterword on the 1953 movie adaptation by film scholar Iain Robert Smith, and several rare photos from the film. From movie and vampire buffs to literary scholars, there’s enough here to delight all the children of the night.

He’s racing against rival ninja Bruce to collect six rubber duckies that grant unlimited ninja power. To get them first he’ll need the help of some unlikely allies—including Brandon Lee, Charles Bronson, and John Travolta! Winner of a 2012 Telly Award for comedy, “Ninja the Mission Force” weaves an original ninja story into hilariously re-dubbed scenes from classic movies. And so Gordon’s epic scavenger hunt takes him from Hong Kong to the Colosseum of ancient Rome, to a land of dinosaurs, to outer space—all the way to Orson Welles’s living room. But Bruce has more than stock footage at his disposal. Gordon will also have to face off against an army of nefarious foes like Cheese Ninja and Science Ninja, run a deadly playground obstacle course, and withstand withering threats delivered on videotape by a small robot. So, not too different from your day. </video> <video> Press Start 2 Continue - Official Trailer (2011) Description: Own the Movie! https://neonharbor.com/ In this sequel to the acclaimed videogame comedy PRESS START, the world's most inexplicably accomplished evil sorcerer, Count Vile, has returned from Hades for a new bid at global domination. With original champions Zack and Sam already in his clutches, it's up to their estranged, ultraviolent comrade Lin-Ku and the bubbly, positive-thinking Princess Xanna to save them -- and the world -- from disaster. PRESS START 2 CONTINUE also adds fan favorite characters from the "Press Start Adventures" animated web series including the sardonic vampire lord Vlad (David S. Humphrey, Sonic Adventure 2 & Jack Keane), sinister succubus Morgan Le Slay, and white-haired assassin Scarthcaroth. Web personalities Noah Antwiler, Stuart Ashen, Lindsey "Z" Briggs, and X-Strike Studios' Tim Ekkebus & Rory O'Boyle also join the cast. With new friends (and enemies) waiting for them, will our heroes triumph over evil? Will justice prevail? Will bats ever stop knocking people into pits? There's only one way to find out: PRESS START 2 CONTINUE. </video> <video> Ninja the Mission Force: Season 2 - Official Trailer (2013) Description: Own the Series! https://neonharbor.com/ninja-the-mission-force Secret agent Cheetah Lee has a serious ninja job to do: defeat the not quite dead ninja master Bruce! Bruce is back from the grave with an army of mischievous minions—including gunslingers, ninjas, pirates, ninjas, gophers, ninjas, and dragons! And ninjas! What’s more, he’s set events in motion that could unleash an ancient evil (almost certainly ninja-related) and destroy the world. And what’s even more than more, Gordon’s on assignment in Antarctica! So it’s up to his rookie protégé Cheetah Lee to uncover Bruce’s secret before it’s too late. The Telly Award-winning series is back, once again combining new footage with hilariously re-dubbed scenes from classic films.

Buy It: https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/how-the-world-remade-hollywood/ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1476684030/ For decades, filmmakers around the world have been remaking and remixing Hollywood movies in colorful and imaginative ways. They’ve chronicled a singing and dancing Hannibal Lecter in India, star-crossed lovers aboard the doomed Nigerian ship Titanic, a Japanese expedition to the planet of the apes, and an uncivil war in Turkey between Captain America and a mobbed-up Spider-Man. Most of these films were low budget and many were unauthorized, but all of them were fantastic—and lately have begun to resurface thanks to cherry-picked YouTube clips. But why and how were they made in the first place? This book tells the little-known stories of the wily filmmakers who made an Italian 007 flick by casting Sean Connery’s tradesman brother, produced a Turkish space opera by stealing a print of Star Wars for its effects footage, and transported a full-fledged Terminator to the present day—not from a post-apocalyptic future, but from the vibrant mythology of Indonesia. Their stories reveal more than mere imitations; they demonstrate the fascinating ways ideas evolve as they cross borders. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ed Glaser is a six-time Telly Award–winning filmmaker and film historian based in Champaign, Illinois. In addition to writing about international remakes, he has restored and remastered Turkish adaptations of Rambo and Star Wars, as well as published the first English translation of Dracula in Istanbul (the 1928 pirated Bram Stoker rewrite that formed the basis of a 1953 Turkish film). </video> <video> The True Story of the Turkish "Avengers" [3 Dev Adam] - Deja View Description: Featuring FULL HD footage from a newly-discovered 35mm print!
