Will Jenna Ortega appear in a Dracula movie with Keanu Reeves?
Jenna Ortega will not join Keanu Reeves in a Dracula movie adaptation from Legendary as it is not in development. Instead, Luc Besson is directing a movie called “Dracula – A Love Tale”, with Caleb Landry Jones and Christoph Waltz in the lead roles.
The film will adapt Bram Stoker’s iconic novel Dracula from 1897, telling the character’s origin story. Caleb Landry Jones is confirmed to play Count Dracula in the film while Christoph Waltz’s character is still unknown.
Over the years, Rutger Hauer, Christopher Lee, Nicolas Cage, Frank Langella, and Jack Palance have all famously played Dracula in different productions. Meanwhile, Claes Bang portrayed the character in 2020’s BBC series, which was also based on Bram Stoker’s work.
