Universal Pictures unveiled the official poster and trailer for the monster movie “Renfield”. 

The movie is based on the character of Renfield, who was first introduced in Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula“.

It stars Nicolas Cage as Dracula and English actor Nicholas Hoult as the titular character, the vampire count’s loyal follower and an unhinged acolyte patient in an asylum with an obsession for drinking blood, deluded into thinking he will find immortality.

The character has appeared numerous times on screen and has been portrayed by actors such as Dwight Frye in 1931’s “Dracula” and Tom Waits in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 adaptation.

The cast includes Awkwafina, Ben Schwartz, Adrian Martinez, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Bess Rous, and more.
