The first trailer has been released for Dracula, BAFTA and César Award winner Luc Besson's (Léon: The Professional, Dogman) adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel, Deadline reported. Starring Caleb Landry Jones (Dogman) as the legendary vampire, the cast also includes Christoph Waltz, Matilda De Angelis, and Zoë Bleu Sidel. Dracula opens in French theaters July 30 via SND.
Besson, who also wrote the screenplay, told Deadline last year that his interest in the new movie wasn't spurred by anything particular in the Dracula tale but rather his lead actor's appeal: "It's not Dracula, my fascination is Caleb. We were just chatting about other roles that could work for him. I said, 'You'd be great as Dracula.' Then, I thought, 'You know what, I'm just going to write it.' "
