As Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man is currently impressing audiences on the silver screen right now, now comes news on another classic monster movie on the way from Blumhouse.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer’s Body director Karyn Kusama has been tasked with tackling a new take on Dracula for Blumhouse Productions. At this stage, the project has yet to be officially housed at Universal Pictures, and Blumhouse could feasibly work with another studio on the film due to the fact that Dracula is a public domain property. Chances are, though, this picture could well end up with Universal in a similar way to what happened with The Invisible Man.

In addition to Kusama taking the director’s chair for Dracula, The Invitation’s Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay are to write the movie’s screenplay.

This news comes on the back of James Wan being confirmed to be producing a new Frankenstein, Elizabeth Banks directing The Invisible Woman, Paul Feig working on Dark Army, Dexter Fletcher developing Renfield, and Matt Stawski handling Monster Mash.

For fans of classic horror characters, it could well be a cracking few years ahead. And if you’ve yet to check out The Invisible Man, we highly recommend you do so at the earliest convenience.
