From Variety – David Slade (Eclipse, 30 Days of Night) is in talks to direct The Last Voyage of Demeter for Phoenix Pictures. Ben Kingsley (Prince of Persia) and Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) are set to co-star; Mike Medavoy, Arnie Messer and Brad Fischer are producing.
Story, penned by Bragi Schut Jr., is based on the chapter in Bram Stoker’s Dracula that describes the arrival of the vampire count in England on a cargo ship that has crashed into the rocks at Whitby with no crew and the dead captain lashed to the steering wheel. 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.
Sounds like old school scary vampire fun…
