Universal's Dracula series
Last Voyage of The Demeter
Last Voyage of The Demeter to be released 2023. Produced by Amblin. Not part of the dark Universe because its only based on one chapter of Dracula and a short segment.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter is based on one chapter from Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula, about the doomed journey of the sailing ship, Demeter. The script, written by Zak Olkewicz, chronicles Demeter’s journey from Carpathia to London after taking on some mysterious cargo. The cargo (spoiler warning for a 100-plus-year-old book!) holds none other than Dracula himself, and the crew are stalked/eaten each night until none of them are alive when it pulls into England’s Whitby Harbour.
Renfield
Based on an idea by Robert Kirkman and written by Ryan Ridley (He wrote for Rick and Morty most notably Ricksky Business which was the season 1 finale episode). In the original Dracula novel, R.M. Renfield was an inmate at a lunatic asylum who was thought to be suffering from delusions but actually is a servant of Dracula. Plot details of the movie weren’t announced, but it’s believed to take place during the present day and is not a period piece. The studio has also stated its less of a horror and more of a comedy.
Blumhouse Karyn Kusama Dracula
According to interviews, this adaptation is a fairly faithful adaptation of the novel with one point of view added which will be Dracula's.
“It’s not so much that, but it is using the idea of, I think, something that gets overlooked in adaptations of Dracula in the past is the idea of multiple voices. In fact, the book is filled with different points of view, and the one point of view we don’t get access to, and most adaptations give access to, is Dracula himself. So I would just say, in some respect, this is going to be an adaptation called Dracula, but it’s perhaps not the same kind of romantic hero that we’ve seen in past interpretations of Dracula.”
As of July 1, Blumhouse said the project is still on.
Chloe Zhao Dracula
SCI-FI Western Dracula...that is all that is known.
Non Universal related Dracula project
The Bride (Sony/Screen Gems)
Inspired by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the pic is a contemporary horror thriller that tells the story of a young woman who is courted and swept off her feet, only to realize a gothic conspiracy is afoot. Given the popularity of the Dracula IP, execs are excited about the possibility of this project, seeing it as a potential franchise, with the studio fast-tracking the movie for an end-of-summer start.
