Luc Besson has claimed not to be a particular fan of Horror or of the Great Vampire. What he wanted was to work once more with the actor Caleb Landry Jones. They began going through possible characters: Jesus Christ, Napoleon, Gandhi, but ultimately opted for Him, for Dracula. Not with a hard-core approach as in Eggers' abyssal Nosferatu (2024), but more in the style of Bram Stoker?s Dracula (1992) by Coppola, the romantic and tragic pulse of which viewers will recognise here in every shot, in every prop and outfit. In that opulence tinged with violet at the suggestion of Patrice Garcia, visual artist, illustrator and "creator of images", artistic advisor to Besson, who we will allow to tell us that he had no interest in the vampire. And we do so because of his choice of Zoë Bleu, Rosanna Arquette's daughter, to play Elisabeta/Mina.
