We’ve got more Universal Monsters news this week as Blumhouse is reportedly starting development on another classic monster reboot just as Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man crosses $100 million worldwide. We are hearing that Dracula will be the next to get a modern facelift, although surprisingly the project is not being initiated by Universal and is currently just set up internally at Blumhouse. They do have a first-look deal at Universal so it seems likely that it will end up there anyway but for the moment there is no studio attached. Hit the jump to find out what we know.

According to Variety, Karyn Kusama is attached to direct an untitled Dracula movie for Blumhouse Productions. Kusama’s most recent film was the Nicole Kidman L.A. crime thriller Destroyer, but she has tackled the horror genre several times before with such films as The Invitation and Jennifer’s Body as well as the anthology film XX (she also just directed an episode of HBO’s The Outsider). Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay, who wrote both Destroyer and The Invitation, are penning the script.

Universal just recently announced another Universal Monsters project that is being produced by James Wan and it sounds like will be a new spin on Frankenstein. Dracula and Frankenstein are the two original classics so it would make sense that they would turn to those next (Blumhouse is not involved in the Frankenstein one, however). There is also a Dracula spin-off in development from Dexter Fletcher that centers on his henchman Renfield. Universal previously attempted a more action-oriented version of the story back in 2014 with Dracula Untold. Are you excited to see Blumhouse and Karyn Kusama take on Dracula?
