Common Photos has introduced that their upcoming Dracula film starring Nicolas Cage is getting an R-rating. Renfield has formally been given an R-rating from the MPAA for “bloody violence, some gore, language all through and a few drug use.”
The movie’s producer, creator of The Strolling Useless, Robert Kirkman, beforehand mentioned the latest Dracula adaptation will probably be “enjoyable” and “extraordinarily violent,” so this isn’t an enormous shocker.

Within the film, Hoult performs Dracula’s unhinged henchman R.M. Renfield. Within the authentic Dracula novel, Renfield was an inmate at a lunatic asylum who’s considered affected by delusions however really is a servant of Dracula. The film is believed to happen throughout the current day, and in it, Renfield decides to go away that life behind after falling in love with a site visitors officer.
Cage beforehand shared the inspiration behind his model of the character, explaining that it will likely be a mixture of David Bowie and his late father, August Coppola.
