David Slade Not Done With Vampires, Set to Direct ‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’

First he directed 30 Days of Night, a vampire movie that made his bloodsuckers similar to zombies, and then he directed The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Now David Slade is set to direct another vampire movie based in Dracula.

Demeter was the name of the ship that transported Dracula from Transylvania to London in Bram Stoker’s classic tale. In that novel, it washes up on the shores of England, tattered and broken, with one raving mad survivor.

Written a decade ago by Bragi Schut, the script places 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-one by a mysterious passenger.

Demeter will be a period horror movie and Ben Kingsley and Noomi Rapace are attached to the project.
