As we learned back in March, Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, The Invitation, Destroyer) has been set to direct a new take on Dracula for Blumhouse Productions, with Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay (The Invitation) writing the script. What can we expect from Kusama’s take on the classic horror novel? She teased the project in a chat with The Kingcast last week.
Kusama joined hosts Scott Wampler and Eric Vespe to talk about Stephen King’s Carrie, and at the tail end of the episode she briefly touched upon what she’s doing with Dracula.
“It’s a fairly faithful adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel,” Kusama told the podcast. “I think something that gets overlooked in the adaptations of Dracula in the past is the idea of multiple voices. In fact, the book is filled with different points of view. And the one point of view we don’t get access to, and all most adaptations give access to, is Dracula himself. So I would just say in some respect, this is going to be an adaptation called Dracula, but it’s perhaps not the same kind of romantic hero that we’ve seen in the past… in past interpretations of Dracula.”
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
