Karyn Kusama’s DRACULA Won’t Be The Romantic Hero We’ve Seen in the Past
Jennifer’s Body and The Invitation director Karyn Kusama is taking on a new film adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and today we hear she hopes to bring in some of the book’s more broad structure, including multiple voices and perspectives.
Kusama tells The Kingcast: “Something that gets overlooked in adaptations of Dracula in the past is the idea of multiple voices. In fact, the book is filled with different points of view, and the one point of view we don’t get access to, and most adaptations give access to, is Dracula himself. So I would just say, in some respect, this is going to be an adaptation called Dracula, but it’s perhaps not the same kind of romantic hero that we’ve seen in past interpretations of Dracula.”

The story centers on Count Dracula, a 15th-century prince who is condemned to live off the blood of the living for eternity. Young lawyer Jonathan Harker is sent to Dracula’s castle to finalise a land deal, but when the Count sees a photo of Harker’s fiancée, Mina, the spitting image of his dead wife, he imprisons him and sets off for London to track her down.
