Caleb Landry Jones to Bare His Fangs in Upcoming Dracula Film

Caleb Landry Jones to Bare His Fangs in Upcoming Dracula Film

Dracula, the iconic bloodsucker, is ready to rise again in a fresh origin story. This time, Caleb Landry Jones (Antiviral) sinks his fangs into the lead role as the iconic bloodsucker in renowned filmmaker Luc Besson‘s (The Fifth Element) new vampiric vision. While countless Dracula portrayals have graced the screen, this film promises a unique perspective, from Bela Lugosi’s classic to Nicolas Cage’s flamboyant rendition and 2003’s Last Voyage of the Demeter. Ditching the Transylvanian castle cliché, Besson’s vision aims to delve into the “beginning of Dracula’s life and his relationship with wife,” according to THR. It’s bold, offering a glimpse into the man before the monster. Landry Jones is known for his intense and unsettling performances in films like Antiviral, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Dead Don’t Die, and Finch. He seems perfectly suited to portray the complexity of Dracula’s transformation. Whispers about Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained) joining the cast further elevate the project’s potential. With a strong
