We were big fans ofAndr vredal's Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark, just as we were big fans ofAndr vredal's The Autopsy of Jane Doe andAndr vredal's Troll Hunter. Seems a safe bet that we'll also be big fans ofAndr vredal's The Long Walk, based on the Stephen King (OK, Richard Bachman) novelof the same name, as well asAndr vredal's The Last Voyage of The Demeter, which is headed our way via the good folks at Amblin Entertainment.

That last project's a new one, just announced by The Hollywood Reporter. What's it about? I'm glad you asked:

"Demeterwas the name of the ship that transported Dracula from Transylvania to London in Bram Stoker's classic tale. In that 1897 novel, the ship washes up on the shores of England, tattered and broken, with one raving-mad survivor.Originally written in 2002 byBragi Schut(Season of the Witch), the script tells the tale of that journey, in which the crew is slaughtered one by one by a mysterious passenger."

Yes, The Last Voyage of The Demeter will findvredal monkeying around on the high seas with a boatfull of victims and one very dangerous passenger. This isn't Hollywood's first attempt to get this project off the ground (a previous iteration would've starred Noomi Rapace and Ben Kingsley, with David Slade directing), but with Amblin pulling the strings andvredal at the helm, it seems likely that this attempt - which THR says will "likely" be filmed aftervredal completes work on The Long Walk - might finally get the job done. We sure hope it does, because this is a great marriage of filmmaker and subject matter.

Nothing further to report at this time, but obviously we're very curious to see how this one shakes out, and will be keeping our ear to the ground for further updates. In the meantime: where'd y'all land on Scary Stories? Enjoy that one as much as we did, or not so much? Sound off in the comments below.
