Another Director Attached to Demeter

Phoenix Pictures has had some problem finding a solid director for their project based on the name of the ship that transported Dracula from Transylvania to London in Bram Stoker's classic tale. Some past names that have been attached include Marcus Nispel and Robert Schwentke. According to the THR, the main obstacle has been that is a period piece that needs to be filmed on the water.

Today however Austrian filmmaker Stefan Ruzowitzky has been tapped to direct The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Written a decade ago by Bragi Schut (writer of the upcoming Nicolas Cage horror movie "Season of the Witch"), places the voyage center stage in a tale that is reminiscent of the first movie in the "Alien" franchise, in which a crew is slaughtered one-by-one by a mysterious passenger.
