In Renfield, Cage will play Count Dracula himself, a supporting character in the story of one of his henchmen Renfield (Nicholas Hoult). The movie starts when the sidekick decides to leave his line of work, and his boss, the Vampire King himself, after he falls in love with a perennially aggressive cop named Rebecca (Awkwafina) in modern-day New Orleans.
The film is going to be a horror-comedy, similar to Jermaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s What We Do In the Shadows, with the continuous contrast between the mythological ways of the vampires and our modern world. The blend of horror and comedy might be the perfect mix for Cage and his acting style, and the actor has already said he’s an enormous fan of Dracula.
To get prepared for the movie, Cage watched all the other great actors who had played the vampire before, as he wanted to do something completely different and unique. Although it’s not easy to imagine what that might mean, fans can’t wait to see it, as he never leaves you indifferent. This will be Nicolas Cage’s first role for a major studio since 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.
