The Last Voyage of the Demeter Movie Download Mp4 Video
To paraphrase the words of a certain actor who brought the classic character to undead life soon, Dracula is back! Not that he went anywhere. The vampire lord has already had one outing to the theaters this year in Renfield (2023), which follows the story of Dracula’s harried titular henchman played by Nicholas Hoult (The Great). That particular adaptation shows Dracula (Nicolas Cage, ridiculously flamboyant as usual) as a boss from hell, but that’s not the only time we’ll be seeing the notorious count on screens in 2023. Bram Stoker‘s immortal creation will appear again this summer in The Last Voyage of the Demeter, from Amblin Entertainment.
This time, the whole movie is a re-imagining of Chapter 7 of the novel (titled “Captains Log”), in which Dracula travels to London aboard the Russian merchant ship Demeter. The short chapter, consisting entirely of diary entries written by the ship’s captain, tells the tale of a sinister presence haunting the ship and killing its crew. Is this enough action for an entire movie? Or will the script need to add characters, subplots–or even a different ending? Here’s everything we know about The Last Voyage of The Demeter so far.
After many script rewrites and production changes, the film’s release date was moved from January 27, 2023, to August 11, 2023. As of now, The Last Voyage of the Demeter will only be available to watch in theaters, as no streaming date has been announced yet. The film has been given an R-rating and has a runtime of 119 minutes.
The first trailer for The Last Voyage of the Demeter was released on Universal Picture’s YouTube channel on April 13, 2023. Set to a moody remix of The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” the trailer unleashes plenty of vampire carnage.
This was followed by a teaser trailer released on July 18, 2023. The fifteen-second video doesn’t show much, but it does plenty to raise the scare level, with mysterious deaths and a terrifying look at the movie’s Dracula. See it here:
Who’s Making The Last Voyage of the Demeter?
Bragi F. Schut (Escape Room) wrote a story and screenplay based on Chapter 7 of Dracula all the way back in 2002, but the film languished in development limbo for nearly two decades. Along the way, numerous interested directors came and went from the project, including Robert Schwentke (RED), Marcus Nispel (Friday The 13th), David Slade (30 Days of Night), and Neil Marshall (Hellboy). Ditto for onscreen talent; at one point, Viggo Mortensen (Lord of the Rings) was cast to play the captain but dropped out after the production hit numerous snags. Ben Kingsley (Ghandi) and Noomi Rapace (Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) were also attached at one point. Finally, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark director André Øvredal took the helm in 2019, working off a screenplay written by Bragi and Zak Olkewicz.
