The latest issue of Fangoria magazine gives a good look at the version of Dracula played by Javier Botet in The Last Voyage of the Demeter
Universal Pictures will be giving the horror film The Last Voyage of the Demeter, which is based on a single chapter, the Captain’s Log, from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula, a theatrical release on August 11th. You don’t have to wait until next month to see the Dracula version that Javier Botet, of the Itfilms, plays in the film. Just take a look at this issue of Fangoria! Botet’s Dracula is featured on the cover in all his glory, and you can check it out at the bottom of this article.
Escaping development hell twenty years after the script was first written (Bragi F. Schut, Stefan Ruzowitzky, and Zak Olkewicz all receive writing credits on the finished film), The Last Voyage of the Demeter tells the story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo – fifty unmarked wooden crates – from Carpathia to London. Strange events occur as the crew tries to survive on the ocean voyage. They are stalked by a merciless presence aboard the ship. When the Demeter arrives at the English coast, it is a charred wreck. The crew is nowhere to be found.
The film stars Corey Hawkins (Straight Outta Compton) as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew; Aisling Franciosi (The Nightingale) as an unwitting stowaway; Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones) as the ship’s captain; and David Dastmalchian (the Ant-Man franchise) as the Demeter’s first mate. Also in the cast are Jon Jon Briones (American Horror Story), Stefan Kapicic (Deadpool films), Nikolai Nikolaeff (Stranger Things), and the aforementioned Javier Botet.
Directed by Andre Ovredal, The Last Voyage of the Demeter is coming to us from DreamWorks Pictures. Brad Fischer, Mike Medavoy, and Arnold Messer produced the project for Phoenix Pictures. Matthew Hirsch serves as executive producer. What do you think of the Dracula version in
