Enjoy This Great Behind-The-Scenes Look at RENFIELD
There seems to be a good amount of hype building for Universal Pictures’ upcoming Dracula-inspired horror action-comedy, Renfield. Today we’ve got a new behind-the-scenes featurette for you to watch that features some more fun footage that includes interviews with the cast and crew talking about the film.
A couple of the things that make this movie so interesting to me are that this film is said to be a direct sequel to the classic 1931 film, and Nicolas Cage is taking on the role of Dracula. There’s actually a good amount of fun footage of Cage’s Dracula in this featurette.
The movie also stars Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men) as Dracula’s loyal servant, Renfield. It was 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 synopsis:
Evil doesn’t span eternity without a little help.
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.
The film co-stars Awkwafina (The Farewell, Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings), Ben Schwartz (Sonic, The Afterparty), and Adrian Martinez (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Focus).
Renfield hits theaters on April 14th, 2023.
