Talking Last Voyage of the Demeter with Director André Øvredal

The Last Voyage of the Demeter, in theaters now, is Based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula. It tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London.The film stars Corey Hawkins (In the Heights, Straight Outta Compton) as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew, Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones, The Nightingale) as an unwitting stowaway, Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones, Clash of the Titans) as the ship’s captain and David Dastmalchian (Dune, the Ant-Man franchise) as the Demeter’s first mate.Director André Øvredal also directed Trollhunter, Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark, Autopsy of Jane Doe, and Mortal. Andre joined Talking Strange's Aaron Sagers to talk about this missing tale of the Dracula lore, what makes Dracula an enduring movie monster, and what other scary stories André wants to tell in the dark. AND whether he'd prefer to face off against vampires or trolls._______________________________________________________________Talking Strange Paranormal Podcast with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, with a weekly "Small Talk" mini-sode with reader submitted letters and spooky tales.
