'RENFIELD' Starring Nicolas Cage As Dracula Given "R" Rating For Bloody Violence and Gore!

2023 has a slew of films that horror fans and fans of film in general are looking forward to. one film in particular has us by the throat so to speak and that is the Dracula tale entitled Renfield starring Nicolas Cage as the ever dramatic count.

Nicholas Hoult (The Menu) is Renfield, with Nicolas Cage as none other than Count Dracula!

Renfield comes to theaters on April 14, 2023, and we’ve just learned that the film has received its official MPA rating this week. What good news does this bring us? An R Rating for one! And the film is rated R for…

“Bloody violence, some gore, language throughout and some drug use.”

The film is said to be a “modern-day adventure story that is comedic in tone.”

Universal’s Renfield is based on an original pitch from “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman. Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War) is directing the movie, with Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies, Mad Max: Fury Road) on board to star as the central character, Dracula’s henchman.

“The film centers on Renfield (Hoult), who has grown sick and tired of his centuries as Dracula’s (Cage) lackey. The henchman finds a new lease on life and maybe even redemption when he falls for feisty, perennially angry traffic cop Rebecca Quincy (Awkwafina).”

Ben Schwartz, Adrian Martinez, Shohreh Aghdashloo and Bess Rouss also star.
