What You Know About Premiere Date of Renfield Movie ?

By Mark Adams On Apr 20, 2022

It is a delight for many moviegoers just to think of watching Nicolas Cage in a film, and they will soon get the opportunity to do so when the actor reprises his role as Dracula in Renfield, Chris McKay’s horror-comedy that has already piqued the interest of the actor’s fans.

However, while many specifics about the project remain a mystery, we do know that Nicholas Hoult will co-star with Cage in this picture, which will take a different approach to the traditional plot that we have seen in prior cinematic adaptations of Bram Stoker’s classic novel.

What is the Makeup of Renfield’s Cast?

The cast of “Renfield” should be enough to entice many moviegoers into theatres when the film eventually hits theatres. Nicholas Hoult has been cast in the title role, which was initially made famous by Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula,” according to reports. When you consider the hot streak Hoult has been on the past few years — he’s had memorable roles in films like “The Favourite,” “Those Who Wish Me Dead,” “Tolkien,” as well as Hulu original series “The Great” and “Crossing Swords,” among others — his mere presence alone would be worth the excitement and anticipation.

However, in November 2021, it was revealed that the legendary Nicolas Cage had been cast in the role of none other than Dracula himself (via Variety). There’s even more great casting news to share with you. The announcement that Awkwafina and Ben Schwartz would be joining the cast came in December 2021.

As Rebecca Quincy, Awkwafina, known for her starring role in “The Farewell” and her appearance in Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” will be working alongside Nicholas Hoult’s Renfield, according to the film’s official synopsis (via Deadline).

Meanwhile, no information has been given regarding the character played by Schwartz, who is most known for his roles on “Parks and Recreation” and “Sonic the Hedgehog” (via Variety). Adrian Martinez is another important addition to the team. It has been reported by Deadline that the “Stumptown” actor will portray the love interest of the Awkwafina’s character.

Shohreh Aghdashloo, who previously appeared on “The Expanse,” completes the cast for the time being. Deadline reported on her casting in early February 2022, adding that she will portray “Ella, a brazen lady who is one of the most feared crime lords in the city,” and that she has “a long history in the industry.”

What Exactly is the Plot of Renfield?

Following the “toxic and co-dependent relationship” that exists between Dracula and his henchman, who will be named after Dracula himself, Renfield will chronicle their exploits. Dracula, an epistolary fiction written by Bram Stoker in 1897, was the first novel to feature Renfield.

He was fascinated with consuming blood in order to obtain immortality, which is why readers first encounter him as a patient in an asylum. Renfield has a deep admiration for the evil Dracula, and he eventually becomes his servant in the novel. Dracula, on the other hand, relentlessly manipulates and teases Renfield by dangling the object of his assistant’s one genuine desire: endless life, in front of him.

The little information we do know about Renfield’s plot indicates that it will be more of an adventure comedy than anything else and that it will also be a breakup movie, which is strangely enough. Renfield will form a partnership with another character in order to bring down his particular idol, Renfield.

We don’t know what will trigger Renfield to turn against his master, but given that the project is set in the present day, it’s reasonable to assume that after a few centuries together, the two have grown tired of each other. Notably, Renfield will also be appearing in Universal Pictures’ expanding monster movie universe in the 2020s The Invisible Man, so expect the picture to be on a similar scale as the last one.

What is the Date of the Renfield Release?

There is no set release date for Chris McKay’s film “Renfield” at this time. However, considering the subject matter of the movie and the fact that it will be unveiled in mid-2021, we have some indications as to which release window Universal Pictures will attempt to secure.

Because “Renfield” will be a part of Universal’s monster movie canon, it’s feasible that the studio will choose a release date for the film that is appropriately spooky, such as late September or October. We don’t know how much money Universal Pictures has set aside for the film or how eager they are to get it out in theatres, so predicting when it will be released is a little trickier.

This is partially due to the fact that we don’t know how much money the studio has set aside for the picture or how anxious they are to get it into theatres — two factors that have an unexpected amount of effect on a release date. A single piece of information that we do know is that the picture is expected to begin filming sometime in early 2022 – according to a December 2021 story from The Hollywood Reporter.

With all of these considerations in mind, the earliest possible release year for “Renfield” would be 2023, with a possible release date as early as 2024.
