The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark director André Øvredal is currently in negotiations to helm the long-in-development horror thriller film The Last Voyage of the Demeter which will now be produced by Amblin Partners.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter will be part of the Norwegian director’s upcoming projects including the fantasy adventure film Mortal starring Nat Wolff and Stephen King’s The Long Walk film adaptation.
André Øvredal is best known for his feature directorial debut film Trollhunter and the 2016 supernatural horror film The Autopsy of Jane Doe.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter will be set in the midst of Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, focusing on the ship the Demeter, which transported Dracula’s coffin from Transylvania to London only to arrive at port with no survivors aboard.
