Nicolas Cage's Dracula Movie Renfield Wraps Production
Nicolas Cage's Dracula movie Renfield officially wraps production exactly one year before it is set to hit theaters in Spring 2023. The upcoming dark fantasy horror-comedy revolves around the titular Dracula henchman as he elects to leave behind his life of servitude to the iconic bloodsucker after meeting and falling in love with feisty traffic cop, Rebecca Quincy. Nicholas Hoult leads the cast of Renfield as the eponymous protagonist alongside Nicolas Cage as Dracula, Awkwafina as Rebecca, Ben Schwartz, Adrian Martinez, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Bess Rous and James Moss.
Development on Renfield was first announced in late 2019 when Rocketman director Dexter Fletcher signed on to helm the project with Rick and Morty alum Ryan Ridley penning the script on a pitch from The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, who is producing via his Skybound Entertainment banner. After a couple of years of dormancy, the film would finally gain some steam in early 2021 when The Lego Batman Movie's Chris McKay entered talks to direct as Fletcher began working on Paramount's reboot of The Saint. Casting on Renfield began shortly thereafter with Hoult the first to sign on followed by Cage and now audiences have some exciting news for the film.
