Dracula: A Love Tale Interview: Luc Besson
The Big Picture There's been no shortage of adaptations inspired by Bram Stoker's 1867 novel Dracula. In the last couple of years alone, we've seen Nicolas Cage in Renfield and a unique take on a single chapter in The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Now, filmmaker Luc Besson is returning to the material, taking inspiration from Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, and leaning heavily into what he believes is the untold story.
Director Luc Besson Cast Caleb Landry Jones , Christoph Waltz , Matilda De Angelis , Zoë Bleu Sidel Writers Luc Besson , Bram Stoker COLLIDER: Do you know when you wrap? Dracula has been portrayed in movies a number of times. For your version, is it a grounded, realistic version? Is it a heightened version? Is it a fantasy-type version?
I'm curious about that. The movie is two hours long, give or take, whatever the movie ends up being.Of course. How much time do you spend in the 15th century and, like you mentioned, showing him going through time and then ultimately, you end up in the 19th century? Who Does Christoph Waltz Play in 'Dracula: A Love Tale'? You cast Christoph Waltz as the priest. What can you tease people about his character?
That's what I was getting at earlier in the conversation, with the fact that it could be the grounded version or more fantasy. I saw the photo of Caleb in the armor. It looked fantastic. Talk a little bit about how you wanted that armor to look and what were your inspirations when working with your costume designer.
What is it like when you have someone who is going, I don't want to say “method,” but a little method? How much is it impacting the shooting schedule and where you're shooting certain sequences, or not at all?

BESSON: In November, it's the Ottomans who invaded Europe in the 14th century. The Christians tried to stop them, and they asked Count Dracula because he's Prince of Wallachia, and he has an army, and so he tried to stop them, which is in a book, by the way. That's a big battle where he's gonna kill in the name of God. Then, in the next two weeks, it’s the finale of the movie, so it's in the castle, and there's also a big fight.
