We earlier reported that actor Nicolas Cage will play the role of a vampire in Chris McKay’s upcoming horror-comedy film Renfield. He plays the role of Dracula in the film.
According to Variety, he revealed that he is looking forward to another Dracula project where he can better explore the psyche of the vampire.”You know, there are some minor moments here where you get to see some of the pathos in Dracula’s eyes. That made me think that maybe one day I might like to try for a whole movie where you’re really understanding the psyche of the character. I didn’t really have the time to delve into that here.”
He noted that he took up the role to challenge himself. He also said that he is a big fan of characters by Christopher Lee, Frank Langella, Bela Lugosi and Gary Oldman. About seeking inspiration, he said, “I went back to Christopher Lee, in terms of his manner of speaking, but that was really only a starting point. I knew Christopher. I did a small scene with him in the season of the Witch,’ and I liked him very much.” Directed by Chris Mckay, Renfield also stars Awkwafina, Ben Schwartz and Adrian Martinez.
