Countless different types of Count Dracula stories have been told on the screen over the years, from Bela Lugosi’s black & white icon to Nicolas Cage’s scenery chewing take in Renfield.
The origin story of the Dracula character has also been told, most notably in Gary Shore’s 2014 movie Dracula Untold. And THR reports this week that it’s about to be told again.
Caleb Landry Jones (Antiviral) will star in an untitled Dracula origin story for director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element), which is said to be a “big budgeted film.”
The Hollywood Reporter previews that the movie will be a “retelling of Bram Stoker’s classic Gothic tale with Landry-Jones set to play the Transylvania Count-turned-vampire.”
The site also notes, “Besson’s take will focus on the beginning of Dracula’s life and relationship with his wife.”
Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained) is also in talks to star.

It is often said that the act of fighting is the reflection of the purest, more primal instincts of living beings, which signifies the essence of the very struggle to survive itself. And when it comes to exploring the complicated relationship between a father and a son using a myriad of fighting disciplines, concepts, and philosophies, trust the shounen genre of anime to provide you with the most unabashedly over-the-top, in-your-face display of spectacle, which at the same time delivers a latent commentary on the nature of the human spirit. Released in 2021, Netflix’s Baki Hanma, the anime adaptation of the manga of the same name created by Keisuke Itagaki, revolves around the aforementioned narrative structure, which takes viewers through the coming-of-age journey of the eponymous hero.

As “Super Nova” eloquently expressed, Baek Seung-kee is definitely an unusual director with his episodic filmmaking moving into many directions, usually with a sense of (self) parodying humor. His approach finds its apogee in “Jango: Uncharged”
“Jango: Uncharged” is screening at Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival
As flashbacks throughout the movie show, Jango is a poor man who wants to be a director, but is stuck in doing delivery work with his sister Juju, who wants to be a movie star. Jango saves money in order to make a movie but eventually has to give a lot of money to his sister, in order for her to join a famous entertainment agency. As his debt increases, he finds himself enslaved and about to move into a slave camp. That is when Dr Salt appears and buys him out while riding in a horse that is obviously a man dressed in a horse costume.

Samuel L. Jackson took to social media to send an apparent message to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Numerous public figures have voiced criticism of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Friday to strike down the 1973 case that legalized abortion nationwide. In a solo concurring opinion, Thomas wrote that the same argument used to overturn the right to abortion, due to the majority opinion that it was not protected by the 14th Amendment, could similarly be used to overturn decisions granting rights to contraception and same-sex marriage.
Notably, Thomas’ opinion did not mention the possibility of losing the right to interracial marriage, protected by the 1967 Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia.
In his tweet, Jackson included an apparent reference to Thomas’ own interracial marriage to wife Ginni Thomas, whom he wed in 1987. The actor also...
