Their latest victim, the sci-fi horror series “Archive 81.” The series, which premiered back in January and quickly took its place on the service’s Top 10. Despite all of the buzz it received and all the love from viewers, Netflix has sadly decided not to move forward with a second season, leaving many people (including me) disappointed.

Nicolas Cage Bares His Fangs As Dracula In First ‘Renfield’ Images

One of the most highly anticipated upcoming horror movies is Universal Monsters’ Renfield, starring Nicolas Cage as Dracula. Today, we’ve got your first glimpse of Cage, via People, in a red suit, sporting slicked-backed black hair, and a lot of bling, looking a bit like Christopher Lee in his iconic role as the blood-sucker in Hammer Films. Nicolas Cage will bear his fangs as the legendary Count Dracula, in the movie that is based on an original idea by “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman. Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War) is directing the movie, with Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies, Mad Max: Fury Road) playing the title role of Renfield, Dracula’s henchman. Described as a “modern-day adventure story that is comedic in tone,” the film centers on Renfield (Hoult), who has grown sick and tired of his centuries as Dracula’s (Cage) lackey. The henchman finds a new lease on life and maybe even redemption when he falls for the feisty, no-nonsense
