We have many films to look forward to in 2023 and one of the most hotly anticipated for horror fans is Universal’s Renfield, based on the character from the iconic Dracula tale.
Nicholas Hoult (The Menu) is Renfield, with Nicolas Cage as none other than Count Dracula!
Renfield comes to theaters on April 14, 2023, and we’ve just learned that the film has received its official MPA rating this week. The good news? The upcoming movie is rated “R” for…
“Bloody violence, some gore, language throughout and some drug use.”
The film is said to be a “modern-day adventure story that is comedic in tone.”
Universal’s Renfield is based on an original pitch from “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman. Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War) is directing the movie, with Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies, Mad Max: Fury Road) on board to star as the central character, Dracula’s henchman.
“The film centers on Renfield (Hoult), who has grown sick and tired of his centuries as Dracula’s (Cage) lackey. The henchman finds a new lease on life and maybe even redemption when he falls for feisty, perennially angry traffic cop Rebecca Quincy (Awkwafina).”
Ben Schwartz, Adrian Martinez, Shohreh Aghdashloo and Bess Rouss also star.
Ryan Ridley (“Rick and Morty”) wrote the script for Renfield.
