Joe Hill's 'Dracula' Spinoff 'Abraham's Boys' Lands Director Natasha Kermani
Women directing vampire movies is definitely the mood right now.
Vampire movies are currently having a resurgence at the moment, and the latest addition to this growing trend is an adaption of Joe Hill’s Abraham’s Boys by Natasha Kermani. The writer-director is known for her work on Lucky and Imitation Girl. Hill is a well-known horror author, the son of Stephen King who has written such works as NOS4A2 and Locke & Key, both of which were adapted into television series.
Abraham’s Boys is a short story by Hill, which has already been adapted into a short film in 2009 by Dorothy Street. A sequel of sorts to Dracula, the story follows Abraham Van Helsing’s children, as they attempt to uncover his past while he becomes more unhinged and violent. The adaptation will follow the perspective of a female Asian character, who witnesses the boys’ trauma firsthand.
