Renfield

Synopsis

Evil doesn’t span eternity without a little help. In this modern horror tale about Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men franchise, The Menu) plays the lead role of Renfield, the tormented sidekick of history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage). Renfield is forced to provide his master with victims and do whatever is asked of him, no matter how humiliating. But after centuries of servitude, Renfield wants to see what life outside the shadow of the Lord of Darkness has to offer. Only he is not so sure how to get out of this unhealthy relationship.

RENFIELD is directed by Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War, The LEGO Batman Movie) to a screenplay by Ryan Ridley (the Ghosted series, Rick & Morty series) and is based on an original idea by Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead and Invincible. The film also stars Awkwafina (The Farewell, Marvels Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings), Ben Schwartz (Sonic, The Afterparty) and Adrian Martinez (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Focus). RENFIELD is produced by Robert Kirkman and David Alpert (The Walking Dead, Invincible), founders of Skybound Entertainment, their co-directors Bryan Furst (Daybreakers) and Sean Furst (Daybreakers) and by Chris McKay. McKay’s production partner Samantha Nisenboim (co-producer The Tomorrow War) is executive producer.
