Nicolas Cage to portray Dracula in Renfield

Nicolas Cage

Hollywood star Nicolas Cage will play Dracula in Universal's upcoming monster movie Renfield. The film centres on Dracula's henchman RM Renfield, who was a prominent figure in author Bram Stoker's cult classic 1897 novel. In the book, Renfield was a patient in an asylum with an obsession for drinking blood, deluded into thinking he would find immortality.

He bows at the feet of the vampire king, who feeds him insects and dangles everlasting life in front of him. In the movie, actor Nicholas Hoult will take on the role of Renfield. Director Chris McKay is directing the feature film which is based on an original story outline from Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead. Ryan Ridley has penned the script.
