Goths, horror lovers, and vampires rejoice! Because acclaimed film director Robert Eggers is back on the big screen with Nosferatu, one of the most iconic blood-suckers in history. Set to (not) see the light of day later in December, this new film already shines through the darkness because of a stellar cast composed of Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, among others. The official trailer is out now, watch it here!
We can’t hide it: Robert Eggers is one of our favourite ‘new’ directors. Debuting with a film as powerful as The Witch, we could only hope for more. And more he delivered. The Lighthouse was an incredibly weird, dark, and bewitching tale of two men going crazy in a secluded island. And in The Northman, we saw what he was capable of when given a Hollywood budget: incredible sets, production, special effects, and a star-studded cast including Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Björk.
After the film’s success, production companies have trusted him again to bring to back to life Nosferatu, a vampire inspired by Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula. Back in 1922, German director F.W. Murnau released the most famous film of the vampire to date—I’m sure you’ve seen his sharp, scary shadow going up the stairs in one of the most emblematic frames of the silent movie. Over a hundred years later, Eggers takes on the challenge of reliving him for the 21st-century audience. The trailer is promising, and we hope the film doesn’t let us down.
