Tod Browningin elokuva Dracula vietti ensi-iltaansa vuonna 1931, ja huhtikuussa 2023 ensi-iltaan saapuva Nicolas Cagen ja Nicholas Houltin tähdittämä Renfield on tämän klassikon suora jatko-osa. Toisin sanoen odottaa on pitänyt melkein 100 vuotta.
Näin kertoi ohjaaja Chris McKay Colliderille.
"I kept telling marketing that that's what we should say, that [Renfield] is the only direct sequel. I guess you could argue 'Dracula's Daughter' is a sequel because the opening scene is the aftermath of the Tod Browning movie, but Bela Lugosi's not in it, it's a whole different set of characters. And it's a great movie, it's wild if you haven't seen it. I thought the movie was great. But to me, this is the only real direct sequel with the Dracula and the Renfield of that movie."
