Renfield: new Universal film release date announced

Release date announced for Renfield, the new Universal film currently being filmed.
Directed by Chris McKay (Tomorrow's War), Renfield is a modern-day reinterpretation of the eponymous character featured in the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker and will debut in theaters on April 14, 2023.
The film stars Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies, Mad Max: Fury Road) and Nicolas Cage (Mandy, The Color Came from Space) as Renfield and Count Dracula, respectively.

The cast also includes Awkwafina, Adrian Martinez, Ben Schwartz and Shohreh Aghdashloo (The Exorcism of Emily Rose).
The screenplay, on the other hand, is by Ryan Ridley (Rick and Morty) in collaboration with Robert Kirkman, the creator of the TV series The Walking Dead.

Plot: after centuries of subjugation, Renfield (Nicholas Hoult) is now tired of being Dracula's (Nicolas Cage) lackey. The henchman will find a new lease on life and perhaps even redemption when he falls in love with Rebecca Quincy (Awkwafina), a'feisty perpetually angry policewoman.

In Bram Stoker's novel, R. M. Renfield is a 60-year-old man admitted to Dr. Seward's asylum who, convinced he is living longer, compulsively feeds on insects and animals. The patient has a submissive bond with Count Dracula, whom he calls Lord.
In the various film adaptations, on the other hand, the cause of his madness was caused by Dracula while in Bram Stoker's novel, the man is already insane before he meets him.
