"Dracula" Sequel Movie Coming"The Un-Dead", the official sequel to Bram Stoker's classic novel "Dracula", has sold English publishing rights to an alliance of Dutton U.S., Harper U.K. and Penguin-Canada.
Bram Stoker's great-grandnephew and blood descendant, Dacre Stoker, along with award-winning Dracula documentarian and historian Ian Holt accessed Bram Stoker's hand-written notes for his novel. The story this time around is set in 1912 London and has someone stalking the heroes who defeated the vampire Dracula a quarter-century ago.
The book, due for release in October 2009, also includes "characters and plot threads that had been excised by the publisher from the original printing over a century ago." It is the first Dracula story to enjoy the full support of the Stoker clan since the original 1931 movie starring Bela Lugosi.
Jan de Bont, Ken Atchity, Chi-Li Wong, and Michael T. Kuciak will produce the film adaptation which Holt co-writing the script with Alexander Galant. The pair have apparently finished the script and shooting is slated to begin next June.

"Blood descendant".......I like it!!  His name, Dacre Stoker, is good too...as though it's Dracula's alter ego!
This looks very promising and I can't wait to see who's in the cast

Funny I find if I read the book first it tends to ruin a film for me

It depends. Sometimes I can enjoy them as seperate entities. Jurassic Park the novel is far superior to the film (wish they had done a faithful 18 rated adaptation), but the film is one of my favorite films. The Lost World on the other hand, great book, crappy film. Some of the scenes in the film that were faithful were exactly as I imagined as I read it, but whats up with that ending?
