Nicolas Cage is donning the fake fangs again.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Cage is returning to a big-studio movie and will play the meaty role of Dracula in Universal Pictures’ monster movie Renfield. Nicholas Hoult will play the title character, Dracula’s bug-eating henchman.

Chris McKay (Amazon’s The Tomorrow War and The Lego Batman Movie) is directing the movie, which will be written by Ryan Ridley, the screenwriter behind Fox’s Ghosted and Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty, based on an original story outline from Robert Kirkman.

McKay and Robert Kirkman are producing along with David Alpert, Bryan Furst and Sean Furst. McKay’s producing partner, Samantha Nisenboim, is executive producing.

The character of Renfield comes from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula, where the character is a patient in an asylum obsessed with drinking blood in the hopes it will bring him immortality. He becomes an acolyte of Dracula, who feeds him insects and rats and dangles the promise of everlasting life in front of him.

No plot details for Renfield have been released, but the project has been described as a modern-day adventure story that is comedic in tone.

The actor previously dabbled in blood-sucking with the 1989 cult horror-comedy Vampire’s Kiss, a quirky comedy about a man who believes he has been converted to a blood-sucker.

Cage last headlined a major studio movie in 2011 as the Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Since then he has starred in a number of Indies, delivering offbeat performances in oddball movies like Mandy, Color Out of Space, Willy’s Wonderland and Grand Isle.

Cage, who won an Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas, and has starred in iconic films like The Rock and National Treasure, is getting some of the best reviews of his career this year with Pig, which follows a truffle hunter whose prized beast is stolen. Before getting back in the coffin as Dracula, Cage will star in Lionsgate’s meta-comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. In the movie, Cage is playing a fictionalized version of himself as a cash-strapped actor who also acts as a CIA informant in a drug sting.

Renfield is Universal’s latest attempt at recreating its movie monster cinematic universe using characters from the studio’s vault of horror film favorites. The universe concept was scrapped when Tom Cruise’s 2017 reboot of The Mummy flopped in theaters, causing the studio to shift its strategy away from interconnected stories to instead focus on standalone features.
