Member AlbertV Posted November 30, 2021 Member Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Universal Pictures has announced that Nicolas Cage is returning to a major studio film as he will play the legendary Dracula in Renfield, which will star Nicholas Hoult as the vampire's titular henchman. Chris McKay will be helming the film. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/nicolas-cage-dracula-movie-universal-renfield-1235055003/ Edited February 28, 2022 by AlbertV 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted November 30, 2021 Member Share Posted November 30, 2021 Nicolas Cage as Dracula is a direct-to-DVD premise if I've ever heard one. But with Chris McKay attached, I'm genuinely interested. The Tomorrow War wasn't perfect but I think he has a lot of potential as a live action director. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted December 1, 2021 Author Member Share Posted December 1, 2021 The plot has been described. It is being a horror adventure with comedic tones with Rick and Morty writer Ryan Ridley writing the script: "Nicholas Hoult has been set to star as the title character of R.M. Renfield, an inmate at a lunatic asylum who was thought to be suffering from delusions but is actually a servant of the Transylvanian vampire Count Dracula." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really sounds like its going to be amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted December 2, 2021 Author Member Share Posted December 2, 2021 Awkwafina has signed to co-star in the film as a character who joins forces with the titular Renfield to take on Dracula. Shooting is taking place early next year in New Orleans https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/awkwafina-nicolas-cage-universal-dracula-movie-renfield-1235055615/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted December 2, 2021 Member Share Posted December 2, 2021 Isn't it about time Awkwafina uses her actual name? She's a fully fledged actress now and no longer doing YouTube skits. Just a minor gripe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted February 28, 2022 Author Member Share Posted February 28, 2022 The film will be coming out on April 14, 2023 and the film's story comes from The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman with Ryan Ridley writing the script: “The film centers on Renfield (Nicholas Hoult), who has grown sick and tired of his centuries as Dracula’s (Nicolas 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).” https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3704985/renfield-will-bring-nicolas-cages-dracula-to-theaters-in-spring-2023/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think about it, Nic Cage would probably make a pretty good Joker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly cannot tell how good or bad this is going to be from the trailer. It could go either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted June 13, 2023 Author Member Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) The film is now on Peacock. Watching it and I'm enjoying the hell out of this movie. Some pretty good action scenes, seeing Awkwafina playing it more straight with just bits of her comic style, and Nicolas Cage's Dracula is a freaking hoot!!!
