‘Dragon Tattoo’ Star Transports Dracula’s Coffin in ‘Demeter’
While digging for info on Alien, it appears that LA Times stumbled onto some casting news for the long, long, long gestured The Last Voyage of the Demeter, a Dracula tale that’s been in development since around the time of Underworld Evolution (2005). The good news is that the film is finally casting, which also means filming in quite possibly set to get underway soon. The site reports that The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo‘s Noomi Rapace (also in talks for Alien) will be starring alongside Ben Kingsley in the tale of an ill-fated journey of Dracula’s coffin from Transylvania to England.

Fox Announces Untitled Vampire Spoof Film for This Summer

Beyond Twilight we’ve seen Liongsate’s Daybreakers, HBO’s “True Blood” drama, WB’s “The Vampire Diaries”, and the forthcoming ABC series “The Gates”.

More soon, I’m sure. (more…) READ MORE
