French director Luc Besson resurrects new 'romantic' Dracula
PARIS -- As a director with no affection for the horror genre, France's Luc Besson has made a new version of "Dracula" with American actor Caleb Landry Jones in the principal role as a lovelorn incarnation of the famous vampire.
The director, who aims at the romantic fresco, delivers a film full of clichés and visual outbursts, to problematic female characters.
Luc Besson returns to the cinema with the film Dracula in which Zoë Bleu, the daughter of Rosanna Arquette, plays. Only here, the director assured the Parisian that at first, he had no idea that the young actress was related to the American star.

In a luxurious adaptation, sublime costumes, sophisticated makeups, grandiose decors, Luc Besson, like Francis Ford Coppola more than three decades ago, rips Dracula out of the predatory savagery of Bram Stoker's novel: the vampire in the brilliance of an absolute romanticism, tragic and flamboyant. Meeting with the director for the release of the film this Wednesday.
