In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult spoke about their upcoming vampire horror comedy “Renfield,” in which they reunite after nearly two decades since their collaboration on “The Weather Man.” They discussed the unique interpretation of the Dracula story and their hopes for the film to become a cult classic. Both actors expressed their admiration for each other, with Cage praising Hoult’s poise at the age of 14 when they first met, and Hoult expressing awe at working with Cage in America for the first time.
The actors delved into the details of their preparation for their roles, with Cage wearing fangs at home to rehearse his lines and Hoult eating real bugs to bring authenticity to his character. They also spoke about the film’s intense fighting scenes, crediting the stunt team and special effects for bringing the action to life.
During the interview, Cage fondly remembered his late ex-wife, Lisa Marie Presley, and how her sense of humor and laughter were the highlights of their relationship. He shared that they had many laughs together and her presence could light up a room.
With “Renfield” set to hit theaters on April 14, fans can look forward to experiencing the chemistry between Cage and Hoult once again, along with a unique blend of horror, comedy, and action.
