Putting more bite into the horror legend.

A new as-yet-untitled Dracula movie is in the works from genre filmmaker Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Lucy, Taken), according to a report on Deadline. Shooting is expected to start later this year.

The big-budget film–said to be based on the iconic Bram Stoker novel–will star Caleb Landry Jones (Get Out) as Dracula and Oscar winner Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Basterds) in an undisclosed role. Luc Besson Productions and EuropaCorp are producing the movie.

The film reportedly will feature origin elements of the bloodsucking count, as it explores the love story between Prince Vladimir and his wife–whose loss turns him from God and leads to his vampiric existence.
