Well, that was quick! We only got word that filming on Chris McKay's horror comedy, Renfield, was underway last month (check out some snaps of Nicolas Cage as Dracula), and Universal has now officially announced that production has already wrapped.
The studio shared a behind-the-scenes photo of stars Nicholas Hoult and Awkwafina alongside McKay, while also revealing the movie's logo and theatrical release date of April 14, 2023.
Check out the Tweet below, along with some more BTS shots that have been shared online.
Ryan Ridley penned the script, which is based on an original story outline from Robert Kirkman. McKay will also produce alongside Samantha Nisenboim and Skybound Entertainment’s film team of Kirkman, David Alpert, Bryan Furst and Sean Furst.
In Bram Stoker's classic novel, R.M. Renfield was introduced as one of Dr. Seward's inmates before his backstory revealed that he was actually Dracula's attorney and Jonathan Harker's predecessor. Driven mad by the evil Count, Renfield became his willing acolyte, believing he would one day be given the gift of eternal life.
The character has appeared in most adaptations of the tale, and has been played by the likes of Dwight Frye in 1931's Dracula and Tom Waits in Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 version.
