Nicholas Hoult, Nicolas Cage and Awkwafina lead the cast of the upcoming Universal Pictures film, Renfield (in which Cage plays Dracula), the first trailer for which has just graced the internet.
Ben Schwartz and Adrian Martinez are also among the main cast of the film, which is directed by Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War, The LEGO Batman Movie) from a screenplay by Ryan Ridley (Ghosted series, Rick & Morty series), based on an original idea by The Walking Dead and Invincible creator Robert Kirkman.
Here’s the story.
In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men franchise) stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage). Renfield is forced to procure his master’s prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. If only he can figure out how to end his codependency.
This film is headed for the screen this April.
