correct in the 19th 100 , Dracul will accompany a 21 - yr - former Bram Stoker who campaign and ensnare an evil tool ( Dracula , we ’re assuming ) and then compose about his experiences . It ’s your classic “ the book is actual ” idea .
The undertaking is now in development and Andy Muschetti , whose novel film It open this workweek , is being eyed as the director . He ’s got several other task on his scale , though — first and foremost being the It sequel — so if he does lineal Dracul , it wo n’t be for some time .

In 2009 he co - write a novel call Dracula : The Un - Dead , and in 2011 he directed a infotainment call Dracula meet Stoker .
