Nicolas Cage to Star as Dracula in Universal Monster Movie ‘Renfield’ (Exclusive)

It's going to be Nicolas vs. Nicholas as Nicholas Hoult stars Dracula's titular henchman.

www.hollywoodreporter.com

Now, in a deal sealed with a vampire’s kiss, Cage is returning to a big-studio movie and will play the meaty role of Dracula in Universal Pictures’ monster movie Renfield.

Nicholas Holt is starring as the titular character, the vampire count’s infamous acolyte and henchman, in the feature directed by Chris McKay, the helmer behind Amazon’s The Tomorrow War and The Lego Batman Movie.

"the project is described as a modern-day adventure story that is comedic in tone."

It would have to be.

"Ryan Ridley, known for Fox’s Ghosted and Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty, penned the script based on an original story outline from Robert Kirkman."

The mainstream Cageaissance begins..,

Article mentions another film too

"seeds of a comeback and renaissance were planted when Lionsgate bought and then made The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, in which Cage plays an actor named Nic Cage who is trying to navigate the paths of indie and studio moviemaking while also acting as a CIA informant ensconced in a drug lord’s jungle compound. The buzz on the movie, which is in the test screening phase ahead of an April 2022 release"

Wow whatever it is it's gonna SUCK.

So it's perfect for Cage!

Though it'll always be hard to top this scene. I mean, someone actually conceptualized, wrote and shot this and it was perfectly normal...

 

[Winter John]

Well it can't be worse than that last adaptation. That Brit one that started off great then went straight down the shitter when he washed up on the beach 200 years later. I still don't understand how anyone can fuck an adaptation of Dracula that badly

And bless them for it. I wish I could see everyone's mind's eye captured on screen no matter what positive/negative batshit fuckery or fever dreams inspired them.

Finally, a reason to return to the theater.

 

[Labolas]

Now I want him to scream he's a vampire to complete strangers on the streets like he did in Vampire's Kiss.

 

[AJUMP23]

I want him to do Vlad the impaler.

 

[WoodyStare]

Finally. The sequel to Vampire’s Kiss we’ve all been waiting for.

 

[godhandiscen]

Pig was an excellent movie. The guy clearly enjoys acting and doesnt see any meaning in life beyond doing his craft. He'd rather act in a shit movie than be unemployed drinking himself to embarrassment. I respect that.

If you have a twenty dollar bill, a Happy Meal and an eight ball, Nicholas Cage is whatever the fuck you want him to be.

It’s full circle. The man finally became the thing he feared he was becoming all those years ago.

At long last, a biopic with an actor playing himself.

He is still drinking himself to embarrassment and probably feels rather sad about his life, but I respect his work ethic - I guess part of it is the same as Liam Neeson that said acting in action flicks helps take his mind away from his tragically-deceased wife.

'Color out of space' was mad shit fun.

The Wicker Man

It's uh... certainly a movie. Good luck. Bring lots of drinks.

Oh, damn. I actually watched it years ago (being a fan of the original, an all that) and cant remember that scene..

I need a rewatch me thinks
