What better time to announce a new feature film based on the legend of Dracula than to coincide with the arrival of Nic Cage in theaters as the Transylvanian bloodsucker in the hilarious ‘Renfield’. The title in question is titled ‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ and, as you can see in his trailer, his proposal in the key of bottled terror it looks most appetizing.

The film, almost like a sort of ‘Alien’ on the high seas of the 19th century, takes us aboard the Russian ship that transported the vampire from the Carpathians to London adapting the seventh chapter of the novel ‘Dracula’ by Bram Stoker. In this way, he will go into detail about the events that occurred on board the ship and will narrate the fight of his crew to survive.
At the head of the production is the Norwegian André Øvredal, responsible for the remarkable ‘The Autopsy of Jane Doe’ and ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’; who is accompanied by a cast led by Corey Hawkins, Liam Cunningham, Aisling Franciosi and David Dastmalchian, and who features our Javier Botet as the bloodthirsty creature.
The project of ‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ has been jumping out of hands for a long time, including those of filmmakers such as Marcus Nispel, David Slade and a Neil Marshall who would have fit like a glove. Be that as it may, Øvredal has all the ballots to offer us a more than worthy show and one that I personally really want to enjoy.
To do it I will have to wait at least until August 11, when it will be released in US theaters. As soon as its release date in Spain is confirmed, we will inform you swiftly and quickly.
