Cage admits that it was a scary role to take on as it&#8217;s been done so many times before by different actors, some doing very well and others not so much. For his part, Cage knew he had to somehow deliver a unique version, but he still felt that it was important to take bits and pieces from some of the other notable Dracula actors to come up with his take.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<div id=\"adsninja-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"adsninja-ad-zone\">\n<div id=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone\">\n<div class=\"ad-current\">\n<div id=\"ad-zone-container-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"ad-zone-container ad-zone-container-content-character-count-repeatable-1\" data-no-fill-collapsable=\"false\"><strong class=\"ad-zone-advertising-tag\">MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;I thought that I could do something with my own enthusiasm about Bram Stoker&#8217;s book, as well as Christopher Lee&#8217;s performance in the Hammer films, as well as Langella&#8217;s performance, as well as Oldman&#8217;s performance, as well as Lugosi&#8217;s performance.

There was a certain inflection with Coppola&#8217;s voice that Cage says his father did intentionally, and because Coppola also h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened to remind Cage of Christopher Lee, it was the perfect source of inspiration. As Cage says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;By and large, I am channeling my father, August Coppola who had a MidAtlantic accent, and he always spoke, &#8216;You know, Nicolas, let me explain something to you, Nicolas.&#8217; And I never understood his accent. I was like, &#8216;Dad, what is this? Why are you talking like that?&#8217; He goes, &#8216;You want to know why I talk like this, Nicolas? Because I made a decision to speak with distinction, okay? I&#8217;m a literature professor, okay? That&#8217;s how I talk!&#8217; It&#8217;s kind of amazing to me how much he resembles Christopher Lee is remarkable. So I thought, okay, dad looks like Christopher Lee. Dad kind of sounds like he&#8217;s in a Hammer horror film. And I did dad in Vampire&#8217;s Kiss, so I&#8217;m going to bring him back from the afterlife as Dracula, combined with all the other elements I mentioned earlier.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\n<span class=\"related-single\">Related: Nicolas Cage Names the Three Best <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movies<\/a> He&#8217;s Ever Made<\/span><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: native in content! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"renfield-will-introduce-a-new-take-on-dracula\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Renfield_Will_Introduce_a_New_Take_on_Dracula\"><\/span> Renfield Will Introduce a New Take on Dracula<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/738a35606d5b5b8181d8e3ef11853b04af-26-mandy-nick-cagersocialw1200.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/738a35606d5b5b8181d8e3ef11853b04af-26-mandy-nick-cagersocialw1200.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/738a35606d5b5b8181d8e3ef11853b04af-26-mandy-nick-cagersocialw1200.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/738a35606d5b5b8181d8e3ef11853b04af-26-mandy-nick-cagersocialw1200.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Nicolas Cage has a face covered in blood in Mandy \" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/738a35606d5b5b8181d8e3ef11853b04af-26-mandy-nick-cagersocialw1200.jpg\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">RLJE Films<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>Renfield<\/em> is directed by Adam McKay (<em>The Tomorrow War<\/em>) and written by Robert Kirkman (<em>The Walking Dead<\/em>) and<em> <\/em>Ryan Ridley (<em>Rick &amp; Morty<\/em>).
