Director Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse & The Northman) made a name for himself with The Witch, a film that most directors would be proud to have on their résumé, especially as their first feature-length production.
In the same vein, as artists in any discipline are often especially critical of their earlier work, Eggers also admitted that he did not want to watch this 2015 horror movie. The Witch, the full-length feature debut of the New York City-born director, turned out to be one of his incredible works. The story revolved around a family of New England Puritans in the 1630s.

After receiving positive reviews from critics and grossing $40 million, the film went on to become a critical and commercial success. Nonetheless, Eggers is the one who is unable to stand the movie, which starred Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, and Kate Dickie.

Bill Skarsgård has become undead bloodsucker Count Orlok for the big screen.
Skarsgård leads Robert Eggers’ long-awaited “Nosferatu,” a reimagining of F. W. Murnau’s 1922 film. Skarsgård plays the titular villain, with Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter, the source of Orlok’s obsession. As Orlok tries to seduce her soul, Ellen’s husband Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult) fights to save his wife from turning to the dark side.
Focus Features chairman Peter Kujawski said the film “definitely ain’t your father’s ‘Nosferatu,’ and [Eggers] will definitely bring new meaning to the phrase ‘Christmas feast.’”
The footage Focus premiered at CinemaCon (though not released online today) was as daring and intense as any film Eggers has made, complete with some chilling black and white sequences, a man biting the head off a pigeon, streets teeming with rats, and rooms engulfed in flames, not to mention a truly deafening, bone chilling score.

Twenty-three years ago, Willem Dafoe played actor Max Schreck in the film Shadow of the Vampire, which gave a behind-the-scenes look at the making of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here) to reveal that Schreck really was a vampire. Now Dafoe has a role in The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of Nosferatu – but he’s not playing the title role. Instead, he’s playing a “crazy vampire hunter” named Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz, and Entertainment Weekly has just unveiled an interesting image that shows Dafoe in character! You can check it out at the bottom of this article.
An unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the original Nosferatu has the following synopsis: In this highly influential silent horror film, the mysterious Count Orlok (Max Schreck) summons Thomas Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) to his remote Transylvanian castle in the mountains.

Robert Eggers takes his tendency to stay faithful to a laboriously era-accurate vision to the story of Count Orlok in a remake of Nosferatu. The director of such films as The Witch, The Lighthouse and The Northman speaks with Total Film Magazine about Bill Skarsgård’s unrecognizable look for his adaptation. According to ComingSoon, Eggers says Skarsgård’s performance will be unlike anything he’s ever done before. Seeing as how he’s already shown his creepy demeanor in the It films and Barbarian, it will be interesting to see how different his interpretation will be to Max Schreck from the original 100-year-old film.
Eggers explained, “There are things that are Schreck-like but I felt we had to do something else. Basically I was like, ‘What would a dead Transylvanian nobleman actually look like for real?’ Bill lost a tremendous amount of weight.” He added, “He’s so transformed in...

How did you come to know our lord and savior, Count Orlok? If you're of a certain age, your first exposure might have come from the "SpongeBob SquarePants" episode "Graveyard Shift," in which the rascally vampire kept secretly flickering the lights during the night shift at the Krusty Krab. Or maybe you watched "Shadow of the Vampire," E. Elias Merhige's darkly comedic 2000 fictional account about the making of F.W. Murnau's 1922 German Expressionist classic "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror." Or perhaps you even saw Murnau's unauthorized "Dracula" adaptation itself or Werner Herzog's 1979 remake "Nosferatu the Vampyre" (which did away with any pretenses and just referred to Orlok as Count Dracula).
Whatever the case, Orlok has sunk his fangs deep into our collective pop-cultural consciousness these last 100-plus years. With his pallid visage, sunken eyes, and bald head, he just stands out from all those other blood-suckers, straddling the...

The remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here) that’s coming our way from The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers was first announced back in 2015. The project finally went into production earlier this year and wrapped six months ago… but if you were hoping to see Eggers’ Nosferatu sometime in the next few months, we have some disappointing news to share today. The movie is still a year away. Focus Features has announced that they’ll be giving Nosferatu a theatrical release on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, “making it a prime holiday season release.”

A week ago, the folks at Empire Magazine shared the first image from The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here), a project that was first announced eight years ago. That image featured Lily-Rose Depp (Yoga Hosers) and the (shadow of the) hand of the vampire Count Orlok, played in this film by Bill Skarsgard (It). The latest print edition of Empire included another image from Nosferatu, one that features Nicholas Hoult (Renfield) and gives another hint of Orlok. That image can now be seen at the bottom of this article, thanks to the folks at Collider.

While vampire films have struggled to take a bite out of the box office lately, the patriarch of blood-sucker cinema, "Nosferatu," is coming back to show all those fanged foundlings how it's done. This new re-imagining of F.W. Murnau's officially unauthorized 1922 "Dracula" adaptation "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror" (the second of its kind after Werner Herzog's 1979 horror film "Nosferatu the Vampyre") hails from writer/director Robert Eggers -- and if the filmmaker is to be believed, this will be a truly terrifying affair to help wipe away the memories of all those lackluster movies about creatures of the night.
Eggers made a splash terrorizing audiences with his feature-length debut "The Witch" before helming "The Lighthouse" and "The Northman," both of which are frequently trippy and full of bizarre visuals and ghastly violence but aren't really trying too hard to scare you. That won't be the case with "Nosferatu,...

Bill Skarsgård has transformed into the “It” clown and a “John Wick” super-villain, but the actor reaches new depths as the vampire at the center of Robert Eggers’ long-gestating “Nosferatu,” according to the director.
Eggers told Empire magazine that Skarsgård is unrecognizable as the blood-sucking force, with his performance incorporating Max Schreck and Klaus Kinski’s respective interpretations of the fabled character in F. W. Murnau’s 1922 film and Werner Herzog’s 1979 reimagining.
“I’ll say that Bill has so transformed, I’m fearful that he might not get the credit that he deserves because he’s just…he’s not there,” Eggers said. “He felt like honoring who had come before him. It’s all very subtle. But I think the main thing is that he’s even more a folk vampire.”
The “Witch” director continued, “In my opinion he looks like a dead Transylvanian nobleman, and in a...

Eight years have passed since we first heard that The Witch writer/director Robert Eggers was going to be taking the helm of a remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here), but filming didn’t begin until earlier this year. During a recent interview with Empire magazine, Eggers said that it was a good thing that he wasn’t able to make Nosferatu earlier, because even after making The Lighthouse and The Northman, this movie still pushed him “beyond his capabilities”. Which is exactly what he was going for.
Eggers said, “I’m trying to go beyond what I’m capable of. As always, it was a difficult shoot. Last night we were doing a scene on a ship with a lot of rain and waves, and the rain deflector, which tries to blow rain out of the lens, was breaking down and fogging. I spent...

Nosferatu, released in 1922, is a silent German Expressionist film that is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential horror movies in cinema history. Adapted from Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula, the film was directed by F. W. Murnau and starred Max Schreck as the titular vampire, Count Orlok. Although the film faced legal disputes for copyright infringement, Nosferatu’s unique visual style and chilling atmosphere continue to inspire filmmakers and audiences alike.
Nosferatu The Origins of Nosferatu
When director F. W. Murnau set out to make a film adaptation of Dracula, he encountered a significant obstacle: the Stoker estate refused to grant him the rights to the story. Undeterred, Murnau and screenwriter Henrik Galeen decided to create their version of the tale, altering character names and details while retaining the overall plot. Thus, Count Dracula transformed into Count Orlok, and the story of Nosferatu was born.

Nicholas Hoult can be seen on the big screen in this weekend’s Dracula horror comedy Renfield (read our review Here), where he plays the title character – and since making that film, he has also been hard at work on another vampire movie: writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here). Speaking with Total Film, Hoult said he was convinced to take a role in Eggers’ Nosferatu because he believes the film will be “really special”.
Hoult told Total Film, “Rob has wanted to make Nosferatu since he was eight years old and he did a play of it as well when he was in high school, so it’s been a passion project of his for a long time. Honestly, I wasn’t looking to go back into the vampire world again, but his style and tone are just so completely the...

It sucks to be a stooge, so says Nicholas Hoult’s Renfield, the long-suffering servant of Count Dracula in the new Chris McKay comedy of the same name. Hoult plays Renfield as a lackey who has spent centuries having to deal with the whims and murderous demands of the boss from hell, played by Nicolas Cage in his long-awaited turn as history’s most iconic vampire. It’s not hard to see how Bram Stoker‘s novel would inspire a story like this. Ever since the beginning of cinema, adaptations of Dracula have positioned poor Renfield as somewhere between a zealous cult follower and a beleaguered personal assistant. Essentially, he is the Igor of any given take.
Yet the Renfield of the novel, the one who inspired it all, has a far trickier history that has seldom been explored on the big or small screen. A character defined in the...

Dracula is one of the most recognizable figures in popular culture, having been a mainstay of literature, film, stage, comics, TV, and more for 125 years. And it all flows back to Bram Stoker’s original 1897 novel, Dracula, which not only stands as a milestone in both horror and English literature, but provided the template for the vampire that has influenced a vast swath of entertainment for more than a century.
The ancient Transylvanian Count has appeared in scores of films and TV shows over the years, but while there have been at least eight major, direct adaptations of Stoker’s novel, there has yet to be a version that can be said to be the definitive screen translation of the book. Part of the reason for that is its format: Dracula is an epistolary novel, told from the viewpoints of different characters largely through diary entries, journals, letters, and newspaper reports.

After years of anticipation and cancellation, Robert Eggers is finally getting to make his remake of "Nosferatu." Deadline has confirmed that the film is moving forward with Bill Skarsgård attached to play Count Orlock, a role made famous by Max Schreck in the 1922 original. Furthermore, the outlet reports that Lily-Rose Depp is in negotiations to play Ellen Hutter, the woman of the count's demented obsession, although her involvement is not yet confirmed.
So, what company is finally letting Eggers make this passion project? That would be Focus Features, with whom the director recently worked together on this year's "The Northman." While it underperformed at the box office, the film received critical acclaim and supposedly made a killing on VOD and streaming (via The Hollywood Reporter). Needless to say, it's not surprising that the company wants to continue their relationship with him.

Two years ago, it was announced that The Witch (watch it Here) writer/director Robert Eggers and star Anya Taylor-Joy would be teaming up again on a remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch that Here) as soon as a window of opportunity opened up in Taylor-Joy’s busy schedule. They found that window of opportunity last fall, but then the project crumbled when Harry Styles, who had been cast as the Thomas Hutter character, dropped out. Now Nosferatu is back on, but Deadline reports that Taylor-Joy is too busy to fit the movie back into her schedule. So Lily-Rose Depp (Yoga Hosers) will now be the female lead Ellen, and Bill Skarsgard (It) is set to play the title character.
Earlier this year, Eggers said he feared that the ghost of F.W. Murnau was trying to block him from making Nosferatu, since the project had crumbled twice.

A year ago it was announced that The Witch director Robert Eggers would be directing a remake of the classic 1922 vampire film Nosferatu. I'd normally be upset about this kind of remake news, but I was so impressed by what Eggers did with The Witch that I think he could actually direct an incredible Nosferatu film.
When the project was first announced it was described as "a visceral adaptation of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent film masterpiece that brings the horrific vampire of Eastern European folklore back to the screen." We now have some additional details on the film from Eggers.
In a recent interview with IndieWire, the director talked about how when he first saw a picture of actor Max Schreck as Count Orlok in a book in his elementary school he lost his mind. He made his mom drive him to the mall to buy him a VHS copy of the film.

” Is this your wife? What a lovely throat!”
There’s nothing better than silent films accompanied by live music and I’d go as far as saying there’s nothing better than silent films accompanied by the Rats and People Motion Picture Orchestra. And I’ll go even farther by saying that there’s nothing better than the 1922 silent spooker Nosferatu accompanied by the Rats and People Motion Picture Orchestra which is an event that will be taking place Thursday night, October 20th at Urban Chestnut Brewing Company’s Midtown Brewery & Biergarten (3229 Washington Ave, St. Louis 63103). Doors open at 6pm and the movie unspools after dark!
Admission Is Free !!!
I’ve seen Nosferatu with live music before and have even shown a 25-minute cut of the film at my old monthly Super-8 Movie Madness show with live keyboard accompaniment (by the talented Linda Gurney), but seeing the full-length version near...

Nosferatu (1922) screens Thursday September 3rd at 7:00pm at Schlafly Bottleworks
Released in 1922, Nosferatu was essentially an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel. Disguising the film under different names and details, this Dracula story portrays Count Orlock negotiating a move to Bremen in Germany with realtor Thomas Hutter, and like the plagued-diseased rats of history, Count Orlock is a harbinger of death, bringing a great darkness with him in as he obsessively pursues the neck of Hutter’s wife and brings death and menace to the people of Bremen.
Masterfully directed by F W Murnau, Nosferatu features timeless images of the nocturnal blood sucker gravitating through the shadows – the epitome being the iconic shot of the shadow ascending the stairs, as one with the dark – an image that will send chills down your spine. Max Schreck’s Count Orlock grotesques all...
