French director Luc Besson, known for his work in action-thrillers and sci-fi films, is now diving into the realm of epic fantasy with an upcoming project based on Bram Stoker's 'Dracula.' The film will follow the story of Prince Vladimir, a 15th century noble who becomes a vampire after cursing God following the death of his wife. Set in 19th century London, the vampire prince encounters his wife's doppelgänger, leading to a tragic pursuit.
In casting news, Christoph Waltz and Caleb Landry-Jones are reportedly in talks to star in the film, marking a potential reunion with Besson after their collaboration on 'Dogman.' EuropaCorp, Besson's production company, is set to produce the film, which is generating buzz at the European Film Market.
