The Last Voyage of the Demeter cast adds Corey Hawkins to star

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Deadline reports that actor Corey Hawkins (The Walking Dead) has been cast to star in the Dracula-adjacent horror film The Last Voyage of the Demeter, directed by André Øvredal (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark).

Here's the official synopsis:

The film is based on a single chapter, the Captain’s Log, from Bram Stoker’s classic 1897 novel Dracula. The chapter tells the story of the Russian schooner, Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo – twenty four unmarked wooden crates – from Carpathia to London. The film will detail the strange events that befell the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a terrifying presence onboard the ship. When it finally arrived near Whitby Harbour, it was a derelict. There was no trace of the crew.

No official release date as of yet, but we'll keep you posted!
