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!
