The story is an original, written by Wentworth Miller, star of TV series “Prison Break” and is centered on a girl with a dead father. After his death, the relationship with her mother and with her uncle had a strange dynamic going through unexpected changes. Rumors said that the film would have something to do with the writer about vampires, Bram Soker, but it’s not true.

Mia Wasikowska will have the opportunity to work with two Oscar winners – the Britain Colin Firth and Australian Nicole Kidman. The direction is signed by the creator of the movie “Oldboy”, the Asian Park Chan-wook, which will start with “Stoker” in the English language cinema. Mia Wasikowska is waiting to be directed by Chan-wook. “I think it’s a fantastic director. He has a vision so strong and I think it will turn into a very interesting material. The script is brilliant”, said the young actress at Cannes, cited by Total Film. We are sure that most of the Dracula fans will look at this movie only because it’s named “Stoker” but  as you’ve already know, this movie is not related in any way with the vampires stories.
