Re: [NEWS] "Dracula" trailer released

 A slightly weird trailer for "Dracula" has been released - the speech is in English with French sub-titles, while the on-screen titles (e.g. the release date) are still in French.
 It also has basically nothing to do with the original book nor any other Dracula version ... looks like a movie to be best avoided, even for Dracula fans.
      Dracula Trailer Introduces Caleb Landry Jones
    as Luc Besson's Prince of Darkness
    ---------------------------------------------
    Luc Besson's Dracula trailer has been released, ahead of its
    upcoming theatrical release in France this coming July 30,
    2025. The movie is based on Bram Stoker's 1897 gothic novel
    of the same name.
     "It tells the story of 15th century Prince Vladimir who
    cursed God following the death of his beloved wife and is
    turned into a vampire. Later, in 19th century London, he
    discovers his wife's doppelganger and dooms himself by
    pursuing her," reads the initial synopsis.
     Check out the Dracula trailer below.

      What happens in the Dracula trailer?
    The video introduces Get Out's Caleb Landry Jones as he
    plays the newest iteration of the Prince of Darkness, who
    has been looking for the love of his life for several
    centuries. The cast will also include Christoph Waltz as a
    priest, Matilda De Angelis as Maria, Zoe Bleu as
    Elisabeta/Mina, Ewens Abid as Jonathan Harker, Romain Levi
    as Captain Wernus, and more.
     Dracula is written and directed by French filmmaker Luc
    Besson, who's best known for his work on movies like Léon:
    The Professional and Lucy. This marks Besson's latest
    collaboration with Jones, after previous directing the
    acclaimed actor in 2023's Dogman. The movie is produced by
    Virginie Besson-Silla, with Philippe Corrot serving as an
    executive producer.
     "It's a totally romantic approach," Besson said in a previous
    interview with Deadline. "There's a romantic side in Bram
    Stoker's book that hasn't been explored that much. It's a
    love story about a man who waits for 400 years for the
    reincarnation of his wife. That's the true heart of the
    story, waiting an eternity for the return of love, leaving it
    open on whether the woman that Dracula meets is a
    reincarnation or not."
