Filming is underway on Universal Monsters movie Renfield, and today we’ve learned that the film will be arriving in theaters next Spring. Renfield comes to theaters on April 14, 2023.
Universal Pictures has enlisted Nicolas Cage to play Count Dracula in the upcoming feature film Renfield, 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 is said to be a “modern-day adventure story that is comedic in tone.”
“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.
Nicolas Cage recently teased his Dracula in Renfield, noting that the character’s movements have been inspired by horror films including Ringu and even James Wan’s Malignant!
Ryan Ridley (“Rick and Morty”) wrote the script for Renfield.
