‘Dear Dracula,’ a CGI Letter to the Legendary Vampire
Kickstart Entertainment, the company behind last summer’s surprise comic book-based hit movie Wanted, has announced the acquisition of the option to Dear Dracula, which was published by Image/Shadowline Comics last October, reports ICV2. Dear Dracula is the story of a boy who loves horror movies and decides to write to Dracula on Halloween the way ordinary kids write to Santa Claus at Christmas. Writer Joshua Williamson and illustrator Vincente “Vinny” Navarrete are penning the screenplay, which will be a CG film, instead of the previously reported stop-motion plan.
Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) is back later this year with new horror movie Werwulf, and the very first teaser image from the hotly anticipated movie has surfaced tonight.
Oddly enough, this first look comes courtesy of the NBC Store, and it gives us a glimpse at a chilly Winter landscape from the film. Is there a werewolf hiding in the photo? Maybe…
Set in 13th century England, Werwulf sees a mysterious creature stalk the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. The film hits theaters on December 25 via Focus Features.
Robert Eggers recently teased, “It’s the darkest thing I’ve ever written. By far.”
Eggers directs from a script he penned with his The Northman co-writer Sjón.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Hamnet) star.
Robert Eggers and Sjón produce alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner for Working Title. Maiden Voyage’s Chris Columbus and Eleanor Columbus are executive producing.
