Rom-com 'Dracula' movie to hit theaters, tells new love story

NEW YORK (WABC) -- When you think about some of the greatest love stories, there's a solid chance "Dracula" isn't the film that comes to mind.

Director Luc Besson might disagree. His "Dracula" tells a love story about a man who is willing to wait 400 years to see again the only woman he's ever loved.

Based on Bram Stoker's original work, the film stars Caleb Laundry Jones as Count Dracula and Zoë Bleu as his lover.

Christoph Waltz is the priest trying to stop this centuries-spanning creature.

"Dracula" will be in theaters this weekend.
