Paramount is developing a Dracula prequel and they want IT director Andres Muschietti to be the man behind the camera.
Paramount has acquired the rights to Dracul ahead of its publication and IT director Andres Muschietti is loosely attached to direct, with Barbara Muschietti and Roy Lee producing (per Deadline).
In the meantime, it appears Paramount is planning to stake its own claim to the Dracula character via their acquisition of Dracul.
Britain’s Hammer House would produce their own slate of Dracula films starring Christopher Lee throughout the ’50s and ’60s.
