The latest clip from his new movie shows Hawkins’s character Clemons taunting Dracula.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter introduces Clemons, a doctor on board the Russian schooner the Demeter. The supernatural horror is directed by André Øvredal, known for Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The new film is adapted from Bram Stokers’ 1897 novel, Dracula, from the chapter titled “The Captain’s Log.” The script for the film, which has been years in the making, was written by Zak Olkewicz, credited with Bragi F. Schut, who wrote the original screenplay.
