One of the first English language novels to feature blood-sucking creatures, 19th century Gothic novel The Vampyre by John William Polidori will be adapted into a movie with Malcolm McDowell and Derek Jacobi! THE VAMPYRE: BLOOD AND INK will follow Lord Ruthven, a mysterious and magnetic nobleman who captivates London society with his charismatic
charm. Aubrey, a young Englishman, becomes infatuated with Ruthven and is drawn into a world of secrets and supernatural horror. As Aubrey uncovers the truth about Ruthven’s sinister nature, he finds himself trapped in a perilous battle against the allure of the vampire’s deadly powers. Polidori was the personal doctor of Lord George Byron, who became an allegory for the character he has created – Lord Ruthven.
