* ShoutOut: As revealed in a TV spot, the circumstances of Renfield meeting Dracula and falling under his control are presented as an extended reference to how ''Film/Dracula1931'' depicted these same events. Several key shots from the 1931 film are even recreated with Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage in place of Dwight Frye and Bela Lugosi.

** The trailer ends with the twist that Nicolas Cage is playing Dracula, which feels very similar to the (fictious) trailer for Werewolf Women of the SS (featured in ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}''), where Nicolas Cage plays Fu Manchu.
* AgeLift: The Renfield of the original story was 59 years old when he fell under Dracula’s power. The trailer shows this Renfield to be much younger (Nicholas Hoult was 33 during filming).
