The official trailer for the highly anticipated New Dracula movie has been released on Vertical’s YouTube channel, exciting fans worldwide. The trailer debuted on Wednesday, December 17, showcasing Caleb Landry Jones as the iconic vampire, Dracula.
The plot centers on a 15th-century prince, played by Jones, who witnesses the brutal murder of his wife, portrayed by Zoë Bleu. Consumed by grief, he renounces God and heaven, becoming the immortal warlord Dracula. The story follows his blood-soaked quest to reclaim his lost love, while being pursued by a relentless priest, played by Christoph Waltz.
Other cast members include Guillaume de Tonquedec, Matilda de Angelis, Awens Abid, and Raphael Luce, contributing to a strong ensemble supporting the main narrative.
The New Dracula movie is written, directed, and produced by Luc Besson and is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on February 6, 2026. The film draws inspiration from Bram Stoker’s 1897 classic, Dracula, a cornerstone of gothic horror literature.
Stoker’s novel is celebrated for its supernatural elements, psychological depth, and richly described historical settings. Transylvania, Dracula’s lair, and the haunted Whitby Abbey create an eerie atmosphere that has captivated readers for over a century. Themes of desire, obsession, and human vulnerability are explored through the experiences of characters like Jonathan Harker, Lucy Westenra, and Mina Murray.
Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, the story reflects Victorian anxieties, including the fear of social change, industrialization, and the decline of traditional values. The vampire, as a symbol of forbidden desire and danger, continues to resonate with audiences today.
Fans eagerly awaiting the New Dracula movie can now experience a first look at the dark, gothic world brought to life on screen. With its release date confirmed, anticipation is building for what promises to be a visually striking and thrilling adaptation of Stoker’s legendary tale.
The trailer has already garnered significant attention online, cementing the New Dracula movie as one of the most awaited horror films of 2026.
