We spoke w/ NoraFromQueens about making Renfield, working with Nicolas Cage, practical effects, the pressures of shooting a oner, and her first experience in horror.
In Chris McKay’s upcoming Dracula sequel, Renfield, starring Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult, comedian and actress Awkwafina plays police officer Rebecca Quincy.
COLLIDER: I want to start with congratulations. I was surprised at the amount of action and blood in the movie and I'm curious, what did Chris tell you going in about the amount of blood he was looking forward to putting on screen? AWKWAFINA: Well, I definitely have never been in kind of a horror movie. I've been in other action movies, but the cool thing about Renfield is that we had an amazing special effects team. We had a lot of practical effects going off, a lot of things were rigged, like squibs and stuff like that. A lot of practical fire and things like that that I'd never worked with. And our stunt team was so great.
