With Universal Pictures comes online the official trailer for The Last Voyage of the Demeter, the horror film about Dracula featuring André Øvredal (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Autopsy) in the directing booth.
Written by Bragi Schut (Escape Room), the film stars prolific Spanish actor Javier Botet (REC, The Mother, Don't Knock on That Door), here as the celebrated vampire.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter will debut in U.S. theaters on Aug. 11.
The story of the film is inspired by Dracula (1897), Bram Stoker's Gothic novel, and takes its cue exclusively from the chapter Captain's Log Of the literary work.
The story sheds light on the voyage and massacre of the crew aboard the Demeter, the ship intended to transport private goods and which carried the coffin of the famous vampire from Transylvania to London. Having finally arrived near Whitby Harbour, the transport vehicle was now reduced to a wreck.
The film will detail the strange events that happened to the crew as they try to survive the ocean voyage, tormented and terrorized each night by a terrifying presence.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter is produced by DreamWorks Pictures in collaboration with Universal while the cast also includes Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones), Aisling Franciosi (The Nightingale), Corey Hawkins (The Walking Dead), David Dastmalchian, Jon Jon Briones, Stefan Kapicic and Nikolai Nikolaeff.
