Javier Botet
The most exciting tidbit from this casting news is that Javier Botet will be playing Dracula. You may not know Botet’s name, but if you watch horror movies, you’ve no doubt seen his work. Botet is a tall, skinny actor who often gets drafted to play tall, skinny monsters. He’s appeared in REC, Mama, Crimson Peak, The Conjuring 2, It, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and more. Basically, if your movie has a tall, skinny monster/ghost/etc., you either hire Doug Jones or Javier Botet.
Draculas: Dead and Loving It
Last Voyage of the Demeter joins a growing list of upcoming Dracula movies. There’s Karyn Kusama’s take on Dracula, and there’s also a version coming from Chloé Zhao that’s described as a “futuristic, sci-fi Western.” Then there’s Renfield, an “extremely violent comedy” about Dracula’s bug-eating henchman. There’s also something called The Bride, which is not a straight adaptation of Dracula, but is partially inspired by Stoker’s classic novel. That’s a lot of Dracula stuff, and folks, I’m not complaining. If we can have an endless supply of superhero movies, there’s no reason we can’t have an endless supply of Dracula movies, too. Announce more, I say!
