Caleb Landry Jones Interview: Dracula: A Love Tale by Luc Besson
In Luc Besson’s upcoming Dracula: A Love Tale, actor Caleb Landry Jones reunites with the filmmaker as the title vampire in a role that will reimagine what audiences think of this classic character. In this interview, done on the set of the film outside Paris, with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Jones explains, “Usually, they take the monster away from you. This one gives the monster to you.“ However, we won’t be seeing the typical story of a creature of lore that wreaks havoc on humans but rather a star-crossed love story that spans centuries.
In the film, Jones works opposite Christoph Waltz and Zoë Bleu Sidel, who plays Dracula’s wife, Elisabeta. Jones portrays the fierce warrior Prince Vlad of Wallachia, who goes on to become the mythical Dracul. But how did he become this movie monster we know today? In A Love Tale, Besson explores the love that was ripped away and how that led Dracula to renounce God and live for an eternity as his punishment. “But the love is very much mad about each other, emphasis on the mad part, absolutely eating each other up, devouring one another for every moment that they are together,“ and that madness carries into the future as Dracula searches for his lost love through reincarnation.
While on this set visit, Jones also discussed costumes through the centuries — over 20, in fact — and how he was first approached about the role before filming Besson’s DogMan. We learned about the armor in the movie, how Jones understood what was necessary for the role, and what it’s like filming scenes through centuries. You can watch the full conversation in the video above or read the transcript below.
Finally, if you watch the video, you’ll hear Caleb Landry Jones talking with an unusual accent. The reason is Jones stays in character between takes.
