The new horror comedy Renfield's plot centers around R. M. Renfield (Nicolas Hoult) as Count Dracula's assistant/slave who wants to break free from the vampire. But you and I know that all eyes will be on Nicolas Cage as Dracula himself, stealing all the scenes he's in. The character is a perfect template for Cage's delightful overacting. Director Chris McKay says that during filming, Cage would stay in character all day long, and even comes across as Dracula while they were discussing filming between takes.
It's not the first time Cage has immersed himself in a role to the point of staying in character. It's also not his first portrayal of a vampire, if you recall the 1988 movie Vampire's Kiss. He apparently enjoyed portraying Dracula, and is open to, even hinting at, the chance to reprise the role in another movie. Renfield opens on April 14th. -via Uproxx
