It is always fun for Walking Dead fans to see actors from the series in new projects. It makes the experience even more special when the film is from a story by Walking Dead comic creator Robert Kirkman. The Walking Dead’s Josh Mikel and Keith Brooks each had a small part to play in the Nicolas Cage/Nicholas Hoult lead Renfield that hit theaters on April 14.

The comedy horror film is directed by Chris McKay and with a screenplay written by Ryan Ridley.  Robert Kirkman pitched the original story and produces with his Skybound Entertainment partner David Alpert and Skybound co-presidents Bryan Furst and Sean Furst, along with McKay.

Renfield is a story that follows the titular character who, for centuries, served as the servant to Count Dracula. He is a demanding master who has bestowed the power of strength on his lackey for his efforts. In modern-day New Orleans, Renfield meets a woman and falls in love. He finally finds the courage to stand up to his master and tries to break free from his life of servitude.
