“Renfield”: Nicholas Hoult tries for stardom

Can he pull it off or is he just too round-headed?

Hoult has always been beautiful to me. He has gorgeous eyes and eyebrows. He’s a simple man, though, great for silly projects like this.

It looks good. I’m glad to see the sassy gay from CBS’s Ghosts getting film roles.

He's gorgeous, but can't act his way out of a paper bag. (see The Menu)

by Anonymousreply 3January 6, 2023 5:38 PM

Just watched The Menu a few nights ago. He wasn’t great but the whole movie was a slog

by Anonymousreply 4January 6, 2023 5:39 PM

He is perfect in "The Great" as a comedic foil.

LPSG has all his leaked dick pix and fucking and getting blown by Jennifer Lawrence pix as part of the Male Fappening leak.

Fell in love with him watching The Great, then felt gross when I realized he was the little kid in that Hugh Grant movie.

Nic Cage is looking awful.

His character in The Menu was a cipher. Other than having money and being desperate for the Chef's approval, you never have any idea who this guy is, what he does, and what makes him tick. So I don't blame him for a major fault in the script.

by Anonymousreply 9January 6, 2023 6:29 PM

The Menu was terrible. And I saw the movie just for him.

He is gorgeous and was great as the bitchy villain in "The Favourite".

I guess I am a dope but he looks especially bad and it shocked me.

R12- He's beautiful and quite funny in "The Favourite."

He would be perfect to play Jared K in a black comedy about Trump.

What is that scene from, r19?

R20 its the first season of Skins. Nicholas plays the charming but sociopathic Tony. The blond is the openly gay member of their group, Maxie. Tony keeps trying to "get off" with Maxie during their school trip, for a new experience. Right after that kiss he starts to blow him!

I loved him in The Favorite. I wish he'd been in it more. He was very funny.

by Anonymousreply 24January 7, 2023 12:21 PM

He was just as good as the three actresses in "The Favourite" but got comparatively little awards attention.

by Anonymousreply 25January 7, 2023 12:27 PM

He's in a film with Nicolas Cage, his movie career is essentially over. It can't go any lower without doing porn.

Cage is having something of a career revival, r26.

Nicholas Cage ruined Peggy Sue Got Married and cost Kathleen T the Oscar!

So in order to avoid "What We Do in Shadows" comparisons, they decided to go MCU action? They should have leaned more into the off-beat elements.

Of course I will watch it.

I'm planning to watch Renfield.

I love Nic Cage. He has done a lot of shite films (for the money) but he shines through in some of the them: PIg, Color out of Space.

Dissenting opinion: I enjoyed The Menu immensely. Get the 1 percent baby.

Nicholas is dreamy. And great cock.

Just watched it. Went into it basically knowing nothing except Cage was playing Dracula. I Fucking laughed my ass off. Very, very dark comedy - don’t go into it expecting much of a cohesive plot, but Hoult, Awkwafina, and Cage are lol hilarious, but it’s extremely gory, almost cartoonishly Tarantinoesque at times.

I like Cage but can’t stand Awuavelva so no thanks.

by Anonymousreply 47April 16, 2023 6:06 AM

Not empty at all. It was entertaining but I thought the holes in the plot were pretty glaring. Cage probably should’ve had a bigger role. If the script were tighter, it would’ve been higher rated. The entire 12-step thread was pretty damn funny.

by Anonymousreply 48April 16, 2023 6:42 AM

Seen it. It's lots of fun. I concur with R44.

I still haven't finished digesting Nicholas Cage as Dracula... there's moments in the film when he's very reminiscent of Lugosi, and others when he reminds me of Lee. At a couple of points, the posture and appearance of his hands is like Nosferatu...

I'd very much like to see him reprise this role.

(Despite the film's denouement, the character's return is entirely possible. 'Renfield' is certainly open to sequels.)

by Anonymousreply 49May 14, 2023 3:55 AM

I thought it was hilarious. The CODA people, always victims, and they return to being victims with their second chance at life. Cage is great, throwback to "Vampire's Kiss". He plays a great vampire.

I watched it last night on Peacock. I can’t recommend.

by Anonymousreply 51June 13, 2023 1:41 AM

Yes tried to watch it on Peacock too. It’s not good. It’s the plot of Little Shop of Horrors. Nicolas Cage as the Audrey 2 character and Hoult as Seymour are OK, but Awkwafina in the Audrey role? What were they thinking?

Little Shop lives and dies by the Audrey casting which is why Ellen Green owns the role. It’s the most important role in the movie! You can’t Awkwafina this!

I didn't enjoy the movie but Hoult is charming and handsome. He's playing rom com Hugh Grant from the 90s with that awkward handsome boyish/British persona.

This movie shouldn't have been made and shouldn't have been made at that budget level. Its not creepy or scary. Its not much of anything genre wise. I like the connection made above to Little Shop of Horrors, it does have a similarity to that, but doesn't function like little shop. although come to think of it, the visual palate might have been influenced by the little shop movie.

Nicholas Gage is a DELIGHT in this movie.

Same here! I just watched this movie on United Airlines, and I fucking loved it.

Nicholas Hoult was gorgeous, as usual. His go-to look seems to be very pale and deathly ill looking, which I actually find attractive. Same look as in Warm Bodies, but better.

Nicholas Cage was hilarious! It was mostly thanks to his lines, but he played them the right way, and it came off well.

Shoreh is always great, and her voice actually seems to be getting deeper.

I was surprised that there were so many orientals in this movie, but that was probably Nic Cage's call, since he's married to an oriental woman.

As for the gore, it was actually my favorite part of the film. So many beheadings and exploding bodies. Rofl.

I know this was all thanks to Robert Kirkman (creator of The Walking Dead), who was a producer on this film.

I can't believe it wasn't more popular at the box office, because I could watch this movie over and over again.

I never realized that Nick Hoult has a hairy chest.

He's always so pale and pasty, that I assumed his body is as smooth as a dolphin.

Apparently not.
