Inspired by characters from the 1897 novel 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker, it serves as a direct sequel to the 1931 film of the same name.
‘Renfield’, an American horror-comedy directed by Chris McKay and written by Ryan Ridley from a Robert Kirkman story, will hit theatres regionally on April 27.
The movie is based on the character Renfield from Bram Stoker’s classic novel ‘Dracula.’
In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road) 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.
The film co-stars Awkwafina (The Farewell), Ben Schwartz (Sonic) and Adrian Martinez (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) and Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Saddam).
Renfield is produced by Skybound Entertainment partners Robert Kirkman and David Alpert (The Walking Dead), co-presidents Bryan Furst (Daybreakers) and Sean Furst (Daybreakers) and by Chris McKay. McKay’s producing partner Samantha Nisenboim (co-producer) will executive produce.
