Modern-Day Vampire Book Historian Gets a Writer
Horror Movie News, The Historian (2008) Movie — By Nix on June 14, 2007 |
Elizabeth Kostova novel, “The Historian”, described as a modern-day take on the vampire legend, has been given to former child actor turned writer Brad Caleb Kane to adapt into a movie, says Variety. It seems like the producers are looking for someone who can turn the book into a “sexy” modern version of the vampire mythos. I’m really not sure why they would do that; just go to any cornerstore and you’ll find erotic vampire movies out the wazoo. Of course most of them are softcore movies, but hey, what do you expect when you mix “sexy” and “vampires”?
The book revolves around a young woman’s search for her father, who is on the hunt for the grave of Vlad the Impaler, the feudal lord who inspired Bram Stoker’s “Dracula.”

I read this book and I have to say Im exited for the movie. Of coarse it wont be as good as the book (they never are). !
Great Book..Don’t change the story to fit the screen..keep the movie like the book..if the book is good then don’t change the story..I’m really looking forward to seeing the book not someones interpretation of what they think the author was trying to do.
I have read this book twice and I was still excited. It was my best history thriller book ever. I just hope a movie would be as great as a book and I want to feel that excitement again through a movie. I want a story would not be changed and made with outstanding actors and actresses.
I have this book twice and I was really excited although I read it again. It was really great history thriller book contains with romance and wide range of professional information that I obviously felt excitement and sometimes I felt someone behind me. It was significant history novel and I am really interested in movie. I hope the story would not be changed far from a book and I wish I would feel that excitement again through a movie.
