The filmmaker is currently on the promotional trail for his latest feature, a nearly three-hour version of <em>Dracula<\/em>, where sucking on other body parts \u2014 wink, wink \u2014 is just as prominent as the expected neck-centric bloodletting. It already sounds like a Top 5 contender for most bonkers Dracula movies, so I\u2019m hopeful Frankie enjoys a similarly big swing. (Here&#8217;s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/reviews\/dracula-review-radu-jude-1236486110\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:one review;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">one review<\/a> that addresses the zaniness.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jude, who is perhaps best known for directing other 2021\u2019s <em>Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn<\/em> and 2023\u2019s <em>Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World<\/em>, hails from Romania, the home country not just of Vlad Dracul, but also of Sebastian Stan. The duo apparently spoke previously about finding the right project to collaborate on, according to THR, and Jude revealed the project amidst his vampire film\u2019s world premiere at the Lorcana Film Festival, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I\u2019m writing a film now. It\u2019s a Frankenstein film in Romania. Frankenstein in Romania, it\u2019s going to be called.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Nothing too mysterious about that title as far as main characters and central locations go, and it doesn\u2019t hint at anything too out of the ordinary. However, this dude doesn\u2019t deliver by-the-books cinema, so expect some of the most darkly comedic and absurdist moments of any <em>Frankenstein<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The storyline will reportedly mesh the traditional legend of the misunderstood behemoth with the true-to-life past existence of a hush-hush CIA prison that was located in Romania. Where is the story going to go from there? Will dead prisoners\u2019 body parts be used to create the monster? Will Victor Frankenstein be a corrupt prison warden? How high up the black hat ladder does this operation go?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Stan, who\u2019d relatively recently <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/wondering-going-sebastian-stan-cutting-183543316.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:shaved his head for a new role;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">shaved his head for a new role<\/a>, liked Jude\u2019s pitch for the Frankenstein-centric story, and the director believes the actor will take on dual roles as both Victor Frankenstein and his makeshift monster. 2024\u2019s <em>A Different Man<\/em> showed off Stan\u2019s performance-shifting skills, as well as his ability to deliver a realistic performance beneath abundant prosthetics. So I\u2019ve no doubt he\u2019ll bring the goods no matter how many characters he plays.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Sebastian Stan on the phone in the back of a car as Donald Trump with Jeremy Strong's Roy Cohn on his right in 2024 movie The Apprentice\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"532\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/DsaMwFqP_gtolB05RN.JnA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTUzMjtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/d406206c7365d18036509847eac75f72\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Sebastian Stan on the phone in the back of a car as Donald Trump with Jeremy Strong&#8217;s Roy Cohn on his right in 2024 movie The Apprentice<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/insane-story-behind-sebastian-stan-144955452.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Insane Story Behind Sebastian Stan Gaining Weight To Play Donald Trump,Then 'Shredding' For Thunderbolts, Only To Go Back To Trump After A Snafu;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><strong>The Insane Story Behind Sebastian Stan Gaining Weight To Play Donald Trump,Then &#8216;Shredding&#8217; For Thunderbolts, Only To Go Back To Trump After A Snafu<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s unclear if <em>Frankenstein in Romania<\/em> will be written and filmed in time for the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/upcoming-movies-in-2026-new-movie-release-dates\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:2026 movie schedule;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">2026 movie schedule<\/a>, as the director next aims to film a smaller-scale story about a Romanian woman who leaves her young daughter to work for a family in France.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But consider this: during the production of <em>Dracula<\/em>, Radu Jude and several of the horror film\u2019s cast members simultaneously filmed <em>Kontinental \u201825<\/em>, a comedy-drama about his country\u2019s housing crisis and middle-class struggles.
