The André Øvredal directed feature The Last Voyage of the Demeter will debut on Jan. 27, 2023 and is also the only wide release dated for that weekend. Pic is based on a single chilling chapter, “The Captain’s Log” from Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, and tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London. Strange events befall the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a merciless presence onboard the ship. When the Demeter finally arrives off the shores of England, it is a charred, derelict wreck. There is no trace of the crew. Corey Hawkins stars as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew, Aisling Franciosi as an unwitting stowaway, Liam Cunningham as the ship’s captain and David Dastmalchian as the Demeter’s first mate. Brad Fischer produces for New Republic Pictures and Oscar-nominated producer Mike Medavoy and Arnold Messer for Phoenix Pictures. Pic is executive produced by Matthew Hirsch.

This may be the most interesting concept I've seen for a movie in a while.

The footage at CinemaCon was interesting.

Interesting director too. I love Autopsy of Jane Doe but wasn’t keen on Scary Stories.

Trailer incoming (almost certainly an attachment with Renfield next weekend).

I need to see Autopsy, but I thought Scary Stories was mediocre. I hope this is better.

I'm all over this.

 

A gothic Thomas Newman score? Yes please.

Oh this looks great. Much better than Renfield. Wonder why Universal decided to release both of them 4 months apart. 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Yeah, I like Dracula's creature design. This is now easily one of my most anticipated movies for the rest of the year.

[Merkel]

There seems to be a sort of Dracula renaissance going on, This one, Renfield, Eggers upcoming Nosferatu...

 

Now, if they are faithful to the novel, I assume all the crew will be dead by the end

[Morieris]

I hope they can surprise us, even with the foregone conclusion.

Looks like this is called: “Dracula: Last Voyage of the Demeter” here in the UK. 

[Godzilla]

This looks fun.

Is this moving to 2024?

Nah, I got the trailer before my showing of No Hard Feelings this past weekend. Wouldn't be surprised if it's being dumped though.

I’ve had the trailer before as well, but just nothing since that first trailer. 
 

Maybe they’ll ramp up nearer the time.

LMAO at the use of a slowed down creepy version of Bullet With Butterfly Wings for the one line about vampires.
