Dracula: He’s so hot right now. (Just like in 1897!)

Hot on the heels this week Renfielda comedic take on the Dark Lord’s relationship with his lesser-known acquaintance, the upcoming film’s trailer The last journey of the Demeter is here to remind you of a very basic thing about Vlad the Impaler, which is that he is really fucking scary.

Based “The captain’s log”, an early passage from Bram Stoker’s epistolary novel, the film follows the crew of the merchant ship Demeter as it slowly discovers that the cargo of goods includes the vampire herself.

Familiar faces pepper the Demeter crew, such as Corey Hawkins (In the Heights) playing a doctor on board, Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones‘ Ser Davos Seaworth) as the captain of the Demeter, and David Dastmalchian (The suicide squad) as the ship’s chief mate.

As it turns out, the Demeter’s perilous journey also mirrors that of the film, which was in development hell for a long time. 20 years after writer Bragi Schut sold the original screenplay.

The Demeter will finally complete its long journey from Transylvania to London on August 11 The last journey of the Demeter finally hits theaters.
