Dracula Lives Again in Renfield Starring Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage

January 16, 2023 Brent Sprecher

Evil doesn’t span eternity without a little help. In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (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 reboot of the Universal’s Dracula franchise was directed by Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War) from a script by Ryan Ridley (Rick & Morty), based on an original idea by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman.

Renfield opens in theaters April 14th!
