This newsworthy event has broken out all over:
After an almost 10-year hiatus from animation, ... Adam Sandler is making his return as the voice of Dracula in the upcoming 3-D film Hotel Transylvania ...
HT has had a long gestation period. The flick hasn't been in development as long as, say, Tangled, but it's been a good long stretch all the same.
There have been multiple directors on the project; I have no idea how much creative input Mr. Sandler will have, but I imagine it could be large if Mr. Sandler wills it to be so. (On the other hand, the feature is set for release September of next year. Given the time remaining, minds will have to be focused. And there's always the possibility that Adam S. signed on because he liked what Genndy Tartakovsky was coming up with, yes?)
Here's hoping that the opus ends up being a hit for everybody.

I doubt Sandler cared what GT came up with--he never even saw it. Sandler will get his way, and I doubt he'll ever meet the "director." For the record, they.re on director 7.
When I saw the teaser posters at the Licensing Expo my hopes for the movie got a bit up but now they are completely gone.
Here are the posters in case anyone's interested:

Quick, get me that can of Turd Polish!
genndy might be a decent stylist-- but he's NO director--and even less of a writer. Deal maker? Sure.
Wow....6 years, 7 directors, millions spent, and they have a poster of a hotel?
It doesn't matter who's attached to direct or voice. The movie hasn't even started production (and won't until the end of this year). How in the world does Sony think they will produce a decent movie in that amount of time?
The crew better be ready for some intense overtime, its truly a shame that after such a long gestation period Sony's just going to rush out another sub-par film. Don't be surprised if this is the last theatrical release for the studio and everything goes straight to DVD. Or they just close the doors all together.
That's funny---because they've already spent close to $80 million on the film.
Let's play Name the Ex-Directors of Hotel T, shall we?
I know of:
David Feiss (released)
Jill Culton (quit)
Chris Jenkins (released)
Todd Wilderman (quit)
Gendy T (still standing for now)
Who am I missing?
Sony Animation has a bigger problem than ex-directors they have Bob O. (who thinks that he's J. Katzenberg, - only without J.'s charm, talent and story instincts)
