The film is to be called, ‘Dracula, Year Zero.’ Can’t wait!

Of even more interest, Elizabeth Kostova’s novel, ‘The Historian’, is also set to make its appearance on the big screen. I think the ‘Blair Witch’ guy could be involved!

If you haven’t read the novel, I suggest you do so as it’s an excellent read. It’s a kind of ‘thinking persons’ Dracula story, based on certain actual historical events, but with a gothic twist.

Things are looking up!
