He is still doing his master's bidding in present-day New Orleans, but, says McKay, Dracula is "the boss from Hell" in more ways than one, so Renfield prefers to spend time with a traffic cop played by Awkwafina. Nicholas Hoult (The Great, The Favourite) has the title role.
But he gets a makeover in this horror comedy from Chris McKay, director of The Lego Batman Movie. In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Renfield is the undead Count's devoted servant, a madman who eats flies and plots his escape from an asylum. Wick stalwarts Laurence Fishburne and Ian McShane are back, too. Because he was disloyal? Because he likes dogs too much? The plots hardly matter in this hugely successful, relentlessly fast action franchise. This time the entire criminal world, including the High Table leaders who control all the crime organisations, seems to be after Wick. He travels through Paris, Berlin, Osaka and other James-Bond like locations as if Bond were a hit man instead of a spy. Keanu Reeves returns as the assassin-but-hero John Wick, now scowling, kicking and killing his way across continents. Does that mean Mills has travelled back in time? Or is he an alien who happens to look human? The film's writer-directors, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, are the co-writers of A Quiet Place, so they know a thing or two about lean, mean, survival thrillers involving showdowns between humans and hungry monsters. The twist is that they're actually on Earth, 65 million years ago (hence the title). It looks as if only one of his passengers has survived, a girl played by Ariana Greenblatt. Adam Driver stars as Commander Mills, a spaceship pilot "on a long-range exploratory mission" who crash-lands on a wilderness planet. The Jurassic Park / World franchise might have gone extinct with Jurassic World Dominion, but there are plenty more dinosaurs on the big screen in 65. If the viral trailer is anything to go by, Cocaine Bear should be a blast, although it probably won't win many Oscars.
But in this raucous horror comedy, directed by Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect 2, Charlie's Angels), our ursine hero rampages through a forest, attacking campers and criminals played by Keri Russell, O'Shea Jackson Jr, Alden Ehrenreich and the late Ray Liotta. It was then stuffed and displayed in the Kentucky Fun Mall, and labelled "Pablo Escobear".
The sad reality is that the bear died almost immediately afterwards. With a title so short and to the point that it makes Snakes on a Plane seem convoluted, Cocaine Bear is "inspired by" the true story of a black bear that swallowed a drug dealer's stash of cocaine.
