Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ new interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula has added to its cast.

Variety reports that Jonathan Aris, Sacha Dhawan, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and Catherine Schell will be joining the already-announced Claes Bang, who plays the count, in the three-part drama. Youssef Kerkour  and Clive Russell are also appearing.

Jonny Campbell, Damon Thomas and Paul McGuigan will each direct an episode. The series is currently filming at Bray Studios, prompting Gatiss to note, “It’s seriously delightful that our new ‘Dracula’ is being shot at Bray Studios, the former home of Hammer Films. This wonderfully atmospheric and legendary studio gave birth to so many famous monsters and stars – most memorably Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.  As we watch Transylvania once again rise on the sound stages of Bray, it’s amazing to be able to say that Count Dracula has finally come home.”
