The horror classic Nosferatu gets a brand new makeover from acclaimed director Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) this holiday season, and Focus Features invites you to sink your teeth into the official trailer this morning. Succumb to the darkness down below.
Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film, whose appearance remains hidden even in this latest official trailer. A smart play from Focus Features that further builds dread and anticipation while we spend the next few months waiting for this classic horror throwback.
Nosferatu will release in theaters on December 25, 2024.
“Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”
Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin and Lily-Rose Depp also star alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), Simon McBurney and Ralph Ineson.
Eggers (The Witch, The Northman) directs and he wrote the script. Eggers also serves as a producer alongside Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, Jeff Robinov, and John Graham.
F.W. Murnau directed the original 1922 version of Nosferatu, while fellow German filmmaker Werner Herzog notably directed his own version of the classic tale back in 1979.
The 1922 silent movie followed the vampire Count Orlok, who wants to buy a house in Germany and becomes enamored with the real-estate agent’s wife. It was an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” which almost led to all copies being destroyed.
