Dracula II: Electric Boogaloo

DateSaturday, October 4, 2008 at 11:28AM
With Twilight about a month away, vampire fans have a new movie to devour. But soon, they'll get to go back to the beginning. For the first time since the original Dracula film in 1931, the descendants of Bram Stoker have given their full approval for a sequel that will be published in October 2009, with a film version of the story beginning production next summer.

Shock Till You Drop reports that the great-grandnephew of Stoker, Dacre Stoker, has sold the rights to a new story to Penguin-Canada. The story is a co-creation of writer Alexander Galant and Dracula documentarian and historian Ian Holt, who probably has the most popular house on the block every Halloween.

The writers gained access to Stoker's original hand-written notes from Dracula, which should provide a good foundation for the continuation of the story, which the younger Stoker claims, "includes characters and plot threads that had been excised by the publisher from the original printing over a century ago."

Dracula: The Un-Dead picks up 25 years after the events of the original book, with a mysterious figure "stalking the brave band of heroes who had defeated the vampire Dracula."

Just don't let Keanu Reeves in the movie, and we should be fine.
