Screen Rant spoke with Nicolas Cage about his role as Dracula in Renfield, the tragedy of the character, and his reunion with Nicholas Hoult:
Universal's Renfield follows Dracula's title henchman as he works to escape the shadow of his narcissistic boss in modern-day New Orleans. Considered a role that Oscar winner Nicolas Cage was born to play, Renfield's Count Dracula is a fresh take on the classic character that finds the perfect balance in the actor's serious and amplified approach.
From Christopher Lee’s work, who is my personal favorite Dracula, I like his appearance and his voice. And I thought, well, that's a good Dracula to model physically, in terms of that hair being slicked back, and that sort of 1960s style. But, really, the biggest model for me was my father, because my dad was someone that, whatever room he walked into, he always walked in with an aura of academic power and eloquence. And so he always knew that he was the smartest man in every room.
With Dracula, this is a character that is supernatural. This is a character that has made a contract with dark forces. And because of that, my surrealistic film performance can be supported. It would be foolish to me to try to make facial expressions or moves or vocal expressions like that in Pig or any more natural, realistic film performance.
You've played everyone from Dracula to your alternate self now, so is there any other dream role or genre that you have left to tackle? Nicolas Cage: Yeah, it's 15 years. That's right. I wasn't entirely sure of how long ago. I was completely aware of his talent then and I'm not surprised whatsoever about the star he has become now. I was very excited to get back on set with him because I wanted to support him. And we didn't have that much time to prepare, so just right off the get-go I would start improvising and rehearsing with him.
