Beware, a brand new chapter to Bram Stoker?s Dracula is now in production with Ernst Dickerson set to direct. The new Dracula called, The Un-Dead, is based on a novel written by Dacre Stoker, Bram Stoker?s great grand-nephew, with the script penned by Ian Holt. The story is said to begin 25 years after the original book that inspired the 1931 film. ?They say you are a man of good... taste.?

According to variety.com, The picture is a co-production between Ken Atchity's AEI and Jan De Bont's Blue Tulip Prods.; private financing is being raised through Europe. The film will shoot later this year in Eastern Europe.

The plot picks up 25 years after the original book that hatched the 1931 film.
The Stoker family endorsement is cosmetic, since the original book is in the public domain, but the sequel does have interesting ties to the original.

Atchity said plans are afoot to re-publish the original Stoker work in its original form. Half the book was edited out in the original publication, and some of the excised plot was incorporated into the sequel book and will be used as plot in the new film. New characters include Jack the Ripper and the infamous Madame Bathory.

Dickerson last tackled horror with Showtime's Masters of Horror, and the films Bones and Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight.
