There's a Dracula "sci-fi western" in development now, and it wouldn't be the first sci-fi film to feature vampires. Blade Trinity was fairly sci-fi and featured a resurrected Vlad III. There are also a whole bunch of low-budget independent films, because the character is public domain.
So it's been done, but I wouldn't say it's been done well. Technology and the ubiquity of cameras make telling vampire stories logistically complicated. Like, they always need to come up with a bunch of handwaves to explain how coffins fly on airplanes piloted by a bunch of human familiars, and how the old legends about running water and being invited in are apocryphal superstitions.
That one is easy to explain. Either the vampire is wealthy and has a private aircraft, which is likely if they're hundreds of years old, or they can ship themselves as the remains of a loved one. I would imagine that any competent modern vampire would have a forger, and a hacker in their household.
