I am… cautiously interested.
Universal/DreamWorks’ The Last Voyage of the Demeter is heading from Jan. 27, 2023 to Aug. 11, 2023.
Pic is based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, which tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London.
I’m not always down with adaptations of a part of a larger work, but THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER is based off a legitimately self-contained part of DRACULA. I figure they can get a decent movie out of a vampire stalking the crew of a ship. They’d need to add a lot of secondary detail, but the basic idea is a solid horror plot.
So maybe it won’t suck. OTOH: this movie is taking forever…

Of course it’s a solid horror plot. I srongly suspect that chapter was the inspiration for Alien.
[Reads link] Oh, I see you noticed that already.
Oh, interesting observation! I can see that, but never made the connection before.
