Universal Pictures recently debuted the first trailer for Chris McKay's R-rated horror comedy, Renfield, and the blood-soaked footage promised a darkly funny retelling of the origin of Dracula's perennially put-upon lackey.

Now, Total Film has shared a new look at the movie via its latest covers, which feature Nicholas Hoult as R.M. Renfield and Nicolas Cage as the notorious Count himself.

Check out the covers below along with the red band trailer.

Renfield is set to hit theaters on April 14, 2023, and will focus on the title character, who has "grown sick and tired of his centuries as Dracula’s lackey. The henchman finds a new lease on life and maybe even redemption when he falls for feisty, angry traffic cop Rebecca Quincy (Awkwafina).”

Ryan Ridley penned the script, which is based on an original story outline from Robert Kirkman. McKay will also produce alongside Samantha Nisenboim and Skybound Entertainment’s film team of Kirkman, David Alpert, Bryan Furst and Sean Furst.

In Bram Stoker's classic novel, Renfield was introduced as one of Dr. Seward's inmates before his backstory revealed that he was actually Dracula's attorney and Jonathan Harker's predecessor. Driven mad by the evil Count, Renfield became his willing acolyte, believing he would one day be given the gift of eternal life.

The character has appeared in most adaptations of the tale, and has been played by the likes of Dwight Frye in 1931's Dracula and Tom Waits in Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 version.
