Universal’s Dracula film Renfield wraps production, sets release date

April 16, 2022 by Ricky Church

Universal Pictures has announced the upcoming Dracula-inspired film Renfield starring Nicholas Hoult and Nic Cage has completed production. The announcement was made through Twitter where Universal also revealed Renfield will be released exactly one year from now on April 14, 2023.

Hoult stars as R.M. Renfield, a man who unfortunately becomes Dracula’s loyal minion through the vampire’s hypnotic powers. Cage will portray the infamous vampire with Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War) directing from a script by Ryan Ridley (Rick and Morty).

Renfield is said to be a comedic take on the source material, similar in tone to Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement’s What We Do in the Shadows, and sees Cage and Hoult joined in the cast by Awkwafina (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Ben Schwartz (Sonic the Hedgehog), Adrian Martinez (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty), Shohreh Aghdashloo (The Expanse), Bess Rous (Ghostbusters: Answer the Call) and James Moses Black (Queenpins).

Renfield will be released on April 14th, 2023.
