    Universal Orders “Dracula” Sci-Fi Western from Chloe Zhao

    Get ready to see the one and only Dracula as a rootin’ tootin’ cowboy? It would appear that Universal Studios, who holds the rights to the ultimate vampire character, has greenlit a new project that will mix science fiction and western genres to tell a whole new story.

    The project will be written, directed, and produced by Chloe Zhao.

    “I’ve always been fascinated by vampires and the concept of the Other they embody. I’m very excited to work with Donna, Peter and the team at Universal to reimagine such a beloved character,” Zhao said in a statement.

    Zhao recently helmed the live-action “Mulan” for Disney, and has been hard at work on “Eternals” for Marvel Studios.

    Here’s what Peter Cramer, Universal Pictures President, had to say about the news:


    “Chloé’s singular lens shines a light on stories of the overlooked and misunderstood. We are thrilled to be working with her as she reimagines one of the most iconic outsider characters ever created.”


    There’s not a lot known about the project yet, but we do know the 90th anniversary of Bela Lugosi‘s first outing as Dracula is fast approaching. So, we should maybe expect more of the signature vampire.

    We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other projects. Maybe Universal Pictures will release something on World Dracula Day, May 26th?

    Also, let’s not forget “Billy the Kid vs. Dracula.”

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
