Luc Besson to Direct ‘Dracula,’ Caleb Landry Jones and Christoph Waltz Will Lead Retelling of Bram Stoker’s Gothic Classic
Luc Besson has lined up his next big budget project, a retelling of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'
Having already directed plenty of action-thrillers, a few sci-fis and — last year — a whole load of mutts (the Venice-bowing “Dogman”), Luc Besson is now set to venture into epic fantasy territories with one of the most famous big screen characters of all. The French director is to direct an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s’ “Dracula,” telling the story of 15th century Prince Vladimir who cursed God following the death of his beloved wife and is turned into a vampire. Variety understands that Christoph Waltz is in talks to star, as is Caleb Landry-Jones, which would reunite Besson with his lead in “Dogman,” which bowed in Venice last year.
