‘Nosferatu’: New Gritty Look at Lily-Rose Depp in Robert Eggers’ Remake
Christmas is just four months away, and so is Robert Eggers’ highly anticipated remake of Nosferatu, set to premiere on December 25, 2024.
A new image from the film has been released (see above), with more details expected soon.
Bill Skarsgård stars as Nosferatu/Count Orlok, while the film features a stellar cast including Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Simon McBurney, and Ralph Ineson.
Eggers, known for The Witch and The Northman, directs and writes the screenplay. He also serves as a producer alongside Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, Jeff Robinov, and John Graham.
The 1922 silent film Nosferatu, directed by F.W. Murnau, tells the story of Count Orlok, a vampire who becomes infatuated with a real-estate agent’s wife while trying to purchase a house in Germany. The film was an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which almost led to its complete destruction. Werner Herzog later directed his own version of the classic tale in 1979.
