Neil Marshall takes on The Last Voyage of the Demeter

The Last Voyage of the Demeter is a Dracula script that has been in various stages of development for years. In early 2011, David Slade was ready to direct, with Ben Kingsley and Noomi Rapace starring. However, that project fell through and now we're hearing that Neil Marshall is going to be directing the film.

For those unaware, the Demeter is the ship that carries Dracula from Transylvania to England in the original novel. During the voyage, Dracula slowly kills the crew members one-by-one. The original script was written by Bragi Schut (Season of the Witch).

Unfortunately, no additional details were revealed along with today's announcement. We know that Marshall is attached to Hellfest and previously Burst 3D. It's unknown which project will go into production first, but we'll let readers know as soon as anything becomes official.
