The prince of darkness rises once more. The first official trailer for Dracula (2025) has just been released, and Keanu Reeves and Jenna Ortega are ready to bring a fresh, intense twist to the legendary tale of the vampire king. This new adaptation takes Dracula to chilling new heights, blending gothic horror with modern storytelling.
Directed by Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water), Dracula (2025) introduces a darker, more psychological take on the infamous vampire lord. Keanu Reeves stars as Count Dracula, a centuries-old being cursed by his own thirst for power and immortality. Jenna Ortega plays Mina Harker, a young woman whose life becomes entangled with Dracula’s as she uncovers the dark secrets of her lineage—and her connection to the vampire.
The teaser opens with a misty, moonlit castle perched high atop a rocky cliff, the wind howling through the night as Dracula’s silhouette emerges from the shadows. Reeves’ voice cuts through the darkness: “I have walked the earth for centuries. Time has no mercy on me… but tonight, it will end.”
