Dracula terrorizes on the high seas in the first trailer for THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER

Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for the Draculainspired horror movie The last voyage of the Demetra. It looks like it’s going to be a fun horror movie and the story focuses on a chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic horror novel, it’s a unique story that follows Dracula’s journey as he terrorizes on the high seas.

The story of what happened on the Demeter has never been told like this before, and it’s interesting to see Dracula depicted as a bloodthirsty vampire bat-monster.

The film is “based on a single chapter, The Captain’s Diaryfrom Bram Stoker’s classic 1897 novel Dracula. The chapter tells the story of the Russian schooner Demeter, chartered to carry a 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 attempted to survive the ocean voyage, pursued each night by a terrifying presence aboard the ship. When she finally got close to Whitby Harbour, she was a wreck. There was no trace of the crew.’

The film was directed by Andre Øvredal (The autopsy of Jane Doe, scary stories to tell in the dark) from a script Bragi Schut with a rewrite from Zak Olkewicz (High speed train). He is the protagonist Corey Hawkins (Kong: Skull Island, Walking Dead), Aisling Franciosi, Liam Cunningham, David Dastmalchian, Jon Jon Briones, Stefan KapicicAND Nikolai Nikolaeffwith Javier Botet like Dracula.
