Universal's next monster movie is♏ in the works – a contemporary story centering on Dracula's henchman Renfi🐽eld, directed by Chris McKay, reports.

In Bram Stoker's iconic gothic novel, R.M. Renfield is ꧑an inmate at an asylum – thought to be exౠperiencing delusions, he was actually a servant of Dracula. McKay's movie will take place in the present day and will reportedly include a mix of humor and action.

The movie will be based on an original story by Robert Kirkman, the comic book writer best known for co-creating The Walking Dead, with a script by Ryan Ridley, who's previously written for TV shows like Community and Rick and Morty. McKay will direct and produce – Dexter Fletcher was previously in talks ꦑto helm the movie, but has since moved onto other projects.
