A month ago exactly I titillated your dicks off with news of a movie about Dracula on a boat. Remember that shite? Well according to THR, a new director is in talks to lend his vision to the project known as THE LAST VOYAGE OF DEMETER. And that director is none other than…wait for it…Stefan Ruzowitzky. Wait…who???
Ruzowitzky, the man who brought us the superb German war-crime flick THE COUNTERFEITERS in 2007 (not to mention the harsh 2000 horror flick ANATOMY), is indeed the man in negotiations to bring the Bragi F. Schut period-horror script to life for Phoenix Pictures.
Demeter, the name of the boat that carried Dracula from Transylvania to London in Bram Stoker’s original novel, apparently caused a bit of panic in the Phoenix team when learning the film would more or less take place entirely on the ship (filming on water is evidently no fun). Then, with the box-office success of Marty Scorsese’s SHUTTER ISLAND, Phoenix started thinking twice.
And for a little more in terms of plot: The flick will place the voyage center stage in a tale that is reminiscent of the first movie in the “Alien” franchise, in which a crew is slaughtered one-by-on by a mysterious passenger.
Sweet balls!
So what do ya say gang, this the kind of flick that gets you all warm and fuzzy in the pants?
ANATOMY star Franka Potente!
