Nicolas Cage has has been cast as Dracula in Universal Pictures’ upcoming monster movie, Renfield<\/em><\/strong>. The Academy Award-winning actor will star alongside Nicholas Holt, who will be portraying the titular character, the vampire count’s infamous acolyte and henchman, in the film, Variety<\/a> is reporting.<\/p>\n

Renfield<\/em><\/strong> will be directed by Chris McKay, who’s known for helming The Tomorrow War <\/em><\/strong>and The Lego Batman Movie<\/em><\/strong>.

The character of R.M.

He also has an obsession for drinking blood and was deluded into thinking he will find immortality.<\/p>\n
