:11:21
We cross the border
into Czechoslovakia
a few hours into our journey.

:11:26
Apparently, Herr Doctor
has already filmed some
of the exteriors there.

:11:29
- He has?
- You didn't know?

:11:32
- No.
- Strange.

:11:35
Well, you can assume
we'll be filming all of
Jota's scenes there.

:11:38
The scenes between
him and the vampire.

:11:40
I thought Dracula
lived in Transylvania.

:11:42
Uh-uh, strictly speaking,
this is not Dracula.

:11:45
The author's widow
wouldn't sell us
the rights to the novel.

:11:48
So, who's playing
Count Dracula?
I mean, Orlock.

:11:51
His name is Schreck.
:11:54
Max Schreck.
:12:00
Apparently, he was in
the Reinhardt Company
when Murnau was directing.

:12:03
Schreck. You sure
you have the name right?

:12:05
- He's a character actor.
- Who told you he was playing
the vampire?

:12:10
- Herr Doctor told me.
- I never heard of Max Schreck
in the Reinhardt Company.

:12:14
Herr Doctor told me
he was with Stanislavsky
in Moscow.

:12:18
Oh, dear. One of
the Russian school then.

:12:20
As part of his preparation,
he submerges his own
personality...

:12:23
into that of the character
he's playing.

:12:25
That is why
he is not traveling with us.

:12:29
Herr Doctor told me
he went to Czechoslovakia
weeks ago,

:12:32
to absorb the flavor
of the place, I suppose.

:12:36
Herr Doctor
also told me...

:12:38
that when we get there
and start filming,

:12:40
Max Schreck
will only appear to us
in full makeup and costume,

:12:45
as the vampire.
:12:47
Furthermore,
we will only film him...

:12:51
at night.
:12:53
And why wasn't
I told about it?
I'm the producer.

:12:57
Well, he told me.
