A New Setting for an Old Monster

Besson shifts the Dracula narrative from Victorian England to Belle Époque Paris. The film follows the infamous vampire as he becomes fixated on a woman who looks like his long-dead wife, Elisabeta—mirroring the original tale where Dracula sees his lost love reincarnated centuries later.

Zoë Bleu plays both roles, Elisabeta and Mina. She’s the daughter of Rosanna Arquette and was last seen in Le Grand Bleu.

Cast

  • Caleb Landry Jones plays Count Dracula
  • Christoph Waltz is the vampire hunter

Besson on Casting Jones

Besson says the role of Dracula was written specifically for Caleb Landry Jones after the two worked together on Dogman in 2023. He praised Jones as “folly talented,” comparing his presence to Gary Oldman. He also called him kind, low-maintenance, and a joy to work with.
