Karyn Kusama (“Destroyer,” “The Invitation”) has been set to direct a new take on “Dracula” which is being produced by Blumhouse Productions.
Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay will pen the script which, like Leigh Whannell’s recent “The Invisible Man,” is expected to be a stand-alone, modestly budgeted and contemporary-set genre feature based on the literary classic.
This follows in the wake of another legacy monster project in the works which James Wan will produce and which sounds a lot like a new take on “Frankenstein”.
The last time Dracula was tackled was the Luke Evans-led 2014 period action feature “Dracula Untold” which made $217 million worldwide.
