In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men franchise) stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage).  

Renfield is forced to procure his master’s prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness.  If only he can figure out how to end his codependency. 

The horror-comedy is directed by Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War, The LEGO Batman Movie) from a screenplay by Ryan Ridley (Ghosted series, Rick & Morty series), based on an original idea by The Walking Dead and Invincible creator Robert Kirkman. 

The film co-stars Awkwafina (The Farewell, Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings), Ben Schwartz (Sonic, The Afterparty) and Emmy winner and Oscar® nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Saddam, House of Sand and Fog). 

Latino actor Adrian Martinez (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Focus), with Nicaraguan and Dominican origin, is also joining the cast. Martínez accumulates almost 100 credits on the small and big screen. He has had leading roles in productions such as 'Focus', 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty', 'The Great American Hustle', 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2: The Power of Electro', the Stumptown tv series, among others.

In this new version of Dracula, Adrian Martinez will play the role of a traffic cop named Chris Marcos, who will be Quincy's co-worker.

Renfield is produced by Skybound Entertainment partners Robert Kirkman and David Alpert (The Walking Dead, Invincible), co-presidents Bryan Furst (Daybreakers) and Sean Furst (Daybreakers) and by Chris McKay. McKay’s producing partner Samantha Nisenboim (co-producer, The Tomorrow War) will executive produce.

The movie will hit theaters on Friday 14, April.
