Luc Besson’s ‘Dracula’ Trailer – Caleb Landry Jones Sinks His Fangs Into Theaters in February

If Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein have you longing for another auteur’s take on a classic monster, Luc Besson (Léon: The Professional, The Fifth Element) has you covered with Dracula.

Originally titled Dracula: A Love Tale, the fresh take on Bram Stoker‘s seminal 1897 novel opens in theaters on February 6, 2026 via Vertical. Watch the trailer below.

Caleb Landry Jones (Get Out), Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained), and Zoë Bleu star in the horror fantasy romance.

When a 15th-century prince (Jones) witnesses the brutal murder of his wife (Bleu), he renounces God and damns heaven itself. Cursed with eternal life, he is reborn as Dracula, an immortal warlord who defies fate in a blood-soaked crusade to wrench his lost love back from death, no matter the cost.

On the verge of reuniting, Dracula is hunted by a relentless priest (Waltz), sworn to end his immortal reign.

Besson writes, directs, and produces. Danny Elfman (Batman, Beetlejuice) composed the score.

Guillaume de Tonquedec (The Double Life of Véronique), Matilda de Angelis (“The Undoing”), Ewens Abid (“Andor”), and Raphael Luce (“Stranger Things”) round out the cast.

Executive producers include Mark Canton, Dorothy Canton, Ryan Winterstern, and Philippe Corrot.

“This film is very close to my heart and has been a joy to create over the past two years,” said Besson. “At its core, it’s a love story—Dracula seen in a different light, as a man searching for his lost love over 400 years.”
