New Dracula Movie Director Got Guillermo del Toro’s Blessing After He Left The Project

With the Oscar winner having been attached at one point, The Last Voyage of the Demeter director André Øvredal reveals that he got the blessing of Guillermo del Toro when he took on the project. The movie is an expansion of the chapter of Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula titled “The Captain’s Log.” Although del Toro was set to direct at one point, he had to step down for scheduling reasons and suggested Øvredal for the gig, as he had a strong working relationship with the director after producing his previous feature Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
