The Last Voyage of the Demeter director Andre Ovredal on the chances of developing a sequel to the Dracula movie.
SPOILERS for The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Based on a single chapter of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Last Voyage of the Demeter follows the crew of the merchant ship Demeter as they attempt to survive the voyage from Transylvania to London, all while being hunted by the legendary vampire.
