Overview

• Vertical acquired North American distribution and plans a wide theatrical release in the first quarter of 2026.
• Caleb Landry Jones leads the cast with Christoph Waltz and Zoë Bleu, with a score by Danny Elfman.
• Written and directed by Luc Besson from Bram Stoker’s classic, the story centers on a 15th‑century prince cursed to become Dracula after losing his wife.
• Besson produced, with Mark Canton, Dorothy Canton, Ryan Winterstern and Philippe Corrot as executive producers, and the deal was negotiated by Vertical’s Peter Jarowey and Tony Piantedosi, with CAA Media Finance representing the filmmakers.
• The film opened in French theaters in July 2025, and JoBlo reports it had appeared headed for a direct‑to‑digital North American bow before this acquisition, with early Rotten Tomatoes listings showing a small number of mostly positive non‑English reviews.
