Renfield director Chris McKay takes Popcorn Pals behind the scenes of his action-comedy romp, starring Nicolas Cage as Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as Renfield. The story is a modern monster tale of Dracula’s co dependant loyal servant, Renfield and how he is ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. In our interview, Chris shares the itch he needed to scratch in telling this particular Dracula story, what Hoult and Cage bring to their respective and iconic roles, and how an improvised line of dialogue from the film left him in stitches. The director also shares the potential origins of “splash-stick humour”, how he loves to work with practical, in-camera effects and his love of genre filmmaking and what he hopes to do next. All this and much more, so we hope you enjoy this very special episode of Popcorn Pals.
