Luc Besson is preparing a new film
Luc Besson returned to cinema in 2023 with DogManfour years later Anna (2019), in a particular context. We remind you that the director was the subject of a complaint in 2018 for rape and sexual assault by the actress Sand Van Roy. In 2021, the case was dismissed in favor of Luc Besson, before the highest court of the French judiciary finally rejected this appeal and the rape charges in 2023. That said, it remained to be judged on his latest feature film. And the result turned out to be quite forgettable, despite a very good result Caleb Landry Jones (see our review).
DogMan also did not convince audiences as the film did not attract attention in France those 289,000 spectators. Accumulating international receipts (mostly in Europe, it was not released in the United States), the feature film grossed less than $4 million. But Luc Besson already has a new project, and not least, given that he will tackle a cult work a rereading of Dracula.
Caleb Landry Jones will be Dracula
Expiration announces that the director would like to return to the origins of the character from the famous novel by Bram Stoker (1897). His next film is expected to in-depth explore the love story between Prince Vladimir and his wife, the loss of which will lead him to become a vampire, just like the one shown Dracula not told in 2014.
According to information from the American media, “epic and potentially spectacular settings” would be expected to stage this new version of Dracula. Plus, Luc Besson would benefita big budget for a European film. And it could start filming this year. The director would already have a good part of the cast. With his DraculaLuc Besson should find Caleb Landry Jones, offering him the lead role. Alongside him, the actor should be accompanied by Christopher Waltzin an as yet unknown role.
This project seems ambitious, but above all surprising from Luc Besson who has never really attempted this kind of horrible and fantastic work. To see what else the director will bring to a story adapted several times for cinema. Also, in the vampire genre, another film, The, is expected soon Nosferatu by Robert Eggers, remake of the film by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau (1922), based on the novel of the same name Dracula.
