STYD says there is a sequel and film adaptation to the iconic “Dracula” story by Bram Stoker is in the works, titled The Un-Dead.STYD spune mai exista o continuare a cartii “Dracula” si ca se va face un film dupa aceasta. Filmul se va numi “The Un-Dead”.
Apparently Stoker’s great-grandnephew, Dacre Stoker and “award-winning Dracula documentarian and historian,” Ian Holt, have sold the North American rights to the follow-up novel. The book is scheduled for an October 2009 release, while the film is expected to start production in June.
Dacre (since it’s confusing just to call him Stoker) worked with Holt on the novel, combing through Bram’s actual hand-written notes that intended to continue his iconic story. Dacre is quoted as saying,
“Our story includes characters and plot threads that had been excised by the publisher from the original printing over a century ago.”
What’s most noteworthy about this project is that it’s the first, since the original 1931 film, to receive any sort “official” approval from the Stoker family. It seems fitting, since Dacre is an actual blood-relative of the man who authored the original horror tale in 1897, which, incidentally, has never gone out of print.
One of the publishers said of the book,
“I was thrilled by this page-turning story and loved spending time with those great characters. Stoker and Holt did a fantastic job melding the old with the new, and I found the work to be a virtually seamless continuation of the original. The story has all the hallmarks of a historical novel, but with a modern sensibility that gives it wide-spread appeal.”
As for the film, no director or any other important role has been announced yet; although, we do know that Dacre and Holt did pen the screenplay.

O ruda indepartata a lui Stoker, Dacre Stoker si un premiat pentru documentatie si istorie despre Dracula , Ian Holt, au vandut lui North American drepturile nuvelei. Cartea va iesi in octombrie 2009, iar la film vor incepe filmarile in iunie a aceluiasi an.
Dacre a lucrat impreuna cu Holt la nuvela, combinand scrierile de mana ale lui Bram Storker cu ideile lor, pentru a crea o continuare a istoriei Dracula. Dacre a spus:
“Our story includes characters and plot threads that had been excised by the publisher from the original printing over a century ago.”

Cat despre film, nu s-a gasit inca nici un regizor, si nu a fost anuntat nici un actor. Tot ce stim este ca Dacre si Holttorau un script.
