Robert Kirkman
Bram Stoker's vampire is being given a new twist by the one and only, Nicolas Cage, in 'Renfield,' a comedic look at Dracula's number one henchman, played by Nicholas Hoult. The film follows Renfield as he finds love and a new lease on life after growing tired of being Dracula's lackey. 'The Lego Batman Movie' filmmaker Chris McKay directs a script from "Rick and Morty" writer Ryan Ridley and "The Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman. Rounding out the cast is Ben Schwartz, Adrian Martinez, and Awkwafina, who plays Renfield's love interest. The Wolfman, the Invisible Woman, and Van Helsing also join Universal's latest wave of classic monster reboots as 'Reinfeld' hits theaters in April 2023.

    • Quotes
      [on the similarities between the beginning of "The Walking Dead" comic and 28 Days Later (2002)] I saw '28 Days Later' shortly before the first issue of Walking Dead was released. That first issue came out in October of 2003 and '28 Days Later' was released in the States in June of 2003. So we were working on our second issue by the time I saw it. It was going to be a matter of somehow trying to restage the entire first issue, because it was a very similar coma opening. I made a decision-which I pretty much regret at this point-I said, "You know what? It's so different [from that point on], I will probably never hear anything about this." And I was wrong.
