Drac and Captain Ericka sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
We've got a brand new trailer for Genndy Tartakovsky's HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION, which has Adam Sandler's Dracula, now a widowed blood-sucker, joining his monster friends on an elaborate cruise to dangerous places amidst the high seas.
In the film, Mavis surprises Dracula with a family voyage on a luxury Monster Cruise Ship so he can take a vacation from providing everyone else's vacation at the hotel. The rest of Drac's Pack cannot resist going along. It's smooth sailing for Drac's Pack as the monsters indulge in all of the shipboard fun the cruise has to offer, from monster volleyball to exotic excursions, and catching up on their moon tans. But once they leave port, romance arises when Dracula meets the mysterious ship Captain, Ericka. Now it's Mavis' turn to play the overprotective parent, keeping her dad and Ericka apart. Little do they know that his "too good to be true" love interest is actually a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing, ancient nemesis to Dracula and all other monsters. Dun dun dunnnnn!
The third film in Tartakovsky's animated monster mash will see many of the series voice actors reprising their roles for the sequel, including talents such as: Steve Buscemi, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Keegan Michael-Key, David Spade, Kevin James, Molly Shannon, Fran Drescher, and the legendary Mel Brooks! Stepping into the role as Drac's double-crossing love interest is BAD MOMS and STEP BROTHERS comedic actress Kathryn Hahn.
Where do you stand on the HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA series? If I'm being completely honest, I kind of loved the first two movies. If that loses me some points here, so be it, but I'll be damned if I don't love classic movie monsters all getting together for some madcap comedy action. Here's hoping that the sequel still has a bit of that monster magic left in the tank, as the HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA films have always performed better than expected at the box office.
HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION is scheduled to set sail in theaters beginning on July 13th.
