Renfield star Nicolas Cage details how he and co-star, Nicholas Holt, recreated classic scenes from Dracula for their horror comedy film.
Renfield star Nicolas Cage has revealed how he and his co-star, Nicholas Holt, recreated classic scenes from the original 1931 Dracula film. Cage stars as a narcissistic version of Dracula in the present day, while Holt plays the titular role of Renfield, Dracula's long-standing servant and familiar who no longer wants to work for him. Parts of Renfield are black-and-white scene recreations from the original Dracula adaptation.
