We’ve seen Nicolas Cage in a variety of roles, in the greatest of films, over the years. He even came back from playing Superman for a while. He’s an actor who turned his nose up at Lord of the Rings because New Zealand is so far away. The role we’ll see Nic Cage in this time will be count Dracula himself, the highest rank in the vampire world. Universal will be played by Nic Cage, one of the most iconic vampire actors in history, in the film Renfield, which he began his preparations for.
The character of Renfield is actually as important in psychology as the literary world. In 1897, Renfield, who we might call Dracula’s servant, bram stocker, was a mentally ill man who believed that by eating creatures such as mice and insects, he would take their life energy. A Renfield-based film that even enters the psychology literature will be very interesting. Dracula’s role in the film doesn’t seem to be central, but renfield’s passion has had a lot of influence on the Count.
Renfield will be directed by Chris McKay, who also knows him from The Tomorrow War and The Lego Batman Movie. Ryan Ridley, who also wrote Rick and Morty, will also write the screenplay. In addition, according to the latest news from the film, Universal is aiming to reinvigorate the “Monsters” universe, which it has not fully launched with 2017’s The Mummy. Renfield, who will be followed by Nic Cage as the most famous vampire, does not yet have an official release date.
