After a very disappointing performance at the box office (the movie took in just over $20 million worldwide), Universal Pictures is set to release The Last Voyage of the Demeter on Blu-ray and DVD release on October 17th, and the discs will come with quite a few bonus features.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter is based on a single chapter, the Captain’s Log, from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula. The film tells the story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo – fifty unmarked wooden crates – from Carpathia to London. Strange events befall the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a merciless presence onboard the ship.
When the Demeter finally arrives off the shores of England, it is a charred, derelict wreck. There is no trace of the crew.
Corey Hawkins (Straight Outta Compton) as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew; Aisling Franciosi (The Nightingale) as an unwitting stowaway; Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones) as the ship’s captain; and David Dastmalchian (the Ant-Man franchise) as the Demeter’s first mate. Also in the cast are Jon Jon Briones (American Horror Story), Stefan Kapicic (Deadpool films), and Nikolai Nikolaeff (Stranger Things), with Javier Botet (Mama) as Dracula.
There’s over 30 minutes of never-before-seen bonus content included with the digital, Blu-ray, and DVD releases.
