Official Dracula 2 | Movie News
It looks like vampire-defining author Bram Stoker is pulling a Tupac, seeing his material released long after his demise.
The material in question is a follow-up to his famous bloodsucker book DRACULA, a "family authorized sequel" titled THE UN-DEAD. The story will reportedly take place in London years after the events of the first novel, and finds the Dracula-killing heroes being stalked by a new threat.
The book, to be published late next year, comes from Stoker's great-grandnephew (which seems a fairly tenuous family connection) Dacre Stoker, and Dracula historian Ian Holt. The story is an expansion of Bram Stoker's original notes for DRACULA, and is described as "a virtually seamless continuation of the original."
Needless to say, a movie adaptation is already in the works, with Jan de Bont (TWISTER, SPEED) producing. Filming is expected to begin before the book even hits shelves.

Extra Tidbit: Stoker's original book has never been out of print.

If that doesn't happen here, I can't imagine where they could possibly go with it.

In 2001, Monsignor Peter Fleetwood, representing the Vatican, said that as far as he was concerned, the Harry Potter series was "congruent with Christian values." The current pope, Benedict XVI, has publicly said that, although he's never read HP, that he has total respect for Msgr. Fleetwood's judgement.

Crazy, but at least until a couple years ago it was true. (I don't know if Harry Potter has passed it yet or not) But it's interesting that 2 and 3 on the list are both books that the Catholic Church hates.
