Dracula Will Sound Like Adam Sandler In ‘Hotel Transylvania’

Adam Sandler has been looking for a role that allows him to show up in sweat pants ever since Eight Crazy Nights, and it looks like he’s found it. Sandler will voice Dracula in the animated film Hotel Transylvania. Naturally he’ll be joined by Kevin James, David Spade, and Steve Buscemi who will play Frankenstein, Quasimodo, and The Wolfman respectively. Let’s assume they left the angry villager cameo for Rob Schneider.

Andy Samberg has also been cast as Jonathan Van Helsing, the new boy in town who Dracula’s daughter falls for. But wait, there’s hope for this project. Genndy Tartakovsky (who is awesome) is directing. He’s best known for Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and The Powerpuff Girls. Given that track record, there’s an outside chance that the movie won’t rely on Frankenstein being too fat to ride a Segway. (Variety)
