Comedy legend Mel Brooks is to play Vlad, Dracula's ancient and "incredibly grumpy" father in the animated movie Hotel Transylvania 2, Sony Pictures Animation announced.
Brooks takes the role 40 years after helming the horror-comedy classic Young Frankenstein.
"I'm having a wonderful time with the character Vlad. He's been around for eons and he's a pretty crabby guy. Basically, he reminds me of me," Brooks said in a statement.
Set for a September 2015 release, the film is the sequel to 2012's Hotel Transylvania. Both movies star Adam Sandler as Dracula.
The followup is being directed by Genndy Tartakovsky; produced by Michelle Murdocca; executive-produced by Sandler, Allen Covert and Ben Waisbren; and written by Robert Smigel.
