The vampire genre is getting a fresh, chilling update with the release of the official trailer for Dracula (2025). Produced by Universal Pictures, the film reimagines the classic Dracula tale, starring Keanu Reeves as the iconic vampire lord and Jenna Ortega in a key role that’s already capturing the audience’s attention.

In this new take, Keanu Reeves brings a brooding intensity to the role of Count Dracula, a centuries-old vampire cursed with a haunting thirst for blood and power. The trailer teases a darker, more psychologically complex version of Dracula, whose lust for immortality leads him down a path of unspeakable horrors. Reeves’ portrayal presents Dracula not just as a monster, but as a tragic, almost sympathetic character caught in an eternal battle between his human and monstrous sides.

Jenna Ortega, known for her standout roles in Wednesday and Scream, plays Mira, a young woman who becomes entangled in Dracula’s world after a strange series of events. Mira’s character is portrayed as smart, resourceful, and unafraid to confront the ancient evil, which sets the stage for a tense cat-and-mouse game between her and Dracula. Ortega’s performance is gripping, with her character constantly challenging the darkness around her while discovering the horrific secrets of Dracula’s past.

The trailer itself is a visual masterpiece, with rich gothic tones, dramatic lighting, and sweeping shots of eerie castles, fog-shrouded landscapes, and the dark corners of Eastern Europe. The cinematography captures the timeless, mysterious aura of the Dracula myth, while also introducing new, modern elements, blending horror with psychological drama.

Director David Robert Mitchell (It Follows, Under the Silver Lake) brings his signature touch to the film, infusing it with an atmospheric and suspenseful vibe that’s more psychological thriller than straight horror. Dracula (2025) promises to be both a terrifying and emotional journey, examining the price of immortality, the nature of evil, and the thin line between obsession and love.

Key moments in the trailer:

• A hauntingly beautiful shot of Dracula emerging from a shadowed, cobweb-filled throne room, his eyes glowing with supernatural power.

• Mira confronting Dracula in an abandoned mansion, with an intense stare-down between the two.

• The spine-chilling moment when Dracula first reveals his true form, in a visually stunning, grotesque sequence.

• The dramatic line from Dracula, spoken by Keanu Reeves: “You cannot outrun your fate, but you can choose to embrace it.”

Release Date: March 13, 2025 Produced by: Universal Pictures
