After Dogman in 2023 and the confidential release of June and Johnny – during the pandemic shot – Luke Besson returns and adapts to one of the largest classics in literature: Dracula. With a estimated budget 45 million euros, this is the most important French film of 2025 – in front of the 51st dog, another hexagonal project in front of Cédric Jimenez.
To read this myth, Luke Besson discovers actress Caleb Landri Jones – for the interpretation of the Price Men at the Cannes Film Festival in Nitram 2021. These two men were already working on Dogman.
In casting, we also find Kristof Walt (Inglorious Bastards), Zoë Bleu, which is no one, whether the actress Rosana Arkett’s daughter, Matilda De Angeliz, Ewens Abid and Guillaume de Tonquédec.

Given the first pictures, the Gothic dimension is especially found in this new adaptation, which combines many points with Francis Ford Coppola Dracula. Inspiration that is not yet a claim by the French director.
The synopsis of this new movie is as follows: “In the 15th century, Prince Vladimir rejected God after the cruel and cruel loss of his wife. Then he inherits a curse: eternal life. He becomes Dracula. For centuries I wish I had only one hope: finding lost love.“
