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 Lon:
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."
