Chris McKay, the filmmaker behind “The Tomorrow War” and “The Lego Batman Movie,” is directing and producing “Renfield,” which serves as an origin story for Dracula’s unhinged henchman. Based on an original script by Robert Kirkman, the screenplay will be written by Ryan Ridley .
In prior onscreen adaptations of “Dracula,” the vampire’s loyal subordinate has been portrayed by Dwight Frye in the 1931 film, Tom Waits in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 version, and Roland Topor in Werner Herzog’s 1979 movie “Nosferatu the Vampyre.” After its failed attempt to fashion a monster-verse with Tom Cruise’s commercial flop “The Mummy,” Universal has begun to retool its Dark Universe based on characters from the studio’s vast monster legacy. It shifted its strategy away from an interconnected film franchise and found success with “The Invisible Man” starring Elisabeth Moss, which grossed $143 million worldwide on a $7 million budget.
Sounds cool.
