Why hasn't Bram Stoker's Dracula been adapted into a found footage movie?

The book is basically found footage in book form. The whole book is newspaper articles, phonograph recordings transcribed, police accounts, and interviews.

    Because it is set in 1897 is probably the first answer. The next is, that the components of the book come from a number of different povs.Jonathan Harker, Lucy, Van Helsing, Mina, Dr Seward, the zoo keeper - Jonathan's first lot of footage - even if his host had expressed no objections to him using a camera all over Castle Dracula would have been lost when he escaped, and the more dramatic scenes - unless Lucy spared a moment from her own terrors, and her dying mother to film the wolf coming through the window, or Mina, about to be vampirised by the Count exclaimed 'Just a minute, Vlad, gotta get this on film or no one's gonna *believe* it...' wouldn't exist.

    Cleaver idea.

    But the "found footage" thing has been done to death, and in such a short time.

    Because found footage films are awful.
