Dracula at Sea
Dark Horizons is reporting that Australian filmmaker Stefan Ruzowitzky (who had previously directed The Counterfeiters) is going to helm Bragi Schut's screenplay of The Last Voyage of the Demeter, which is actually based on a chapter from Bram Stoker's Dracula.
"The story," offers Dark Horizons, "describes the disturbing voyage taken by the vampire count to England on a merchant vessel shipping cargo from Transylvania to London. Stoker tells the story via the captain's log of the voyage, which begins in Bulgaria and becomes increasingly disjointed as members of the crew disappear as Dracula feeds on them to sustain himself. The ship eventually crashes on the rocks at Whitby with the only soul on board the dead captain who has been lashed to the steering wheel."
