Robert Eggers shared his terrifying take on “Nosferatu” this week at CinemaCon, giving theater owners a first look at the vibes of his remake of the famous vampire film. In the trailer, Lily-Rose Depp, who plays a devout young woman, lights a candle and prays earnestly. She said, “Come to me, come to me, hear my call.” she screamed before her hand reached out to grab her neck.
And we're off as Eggers' camera sweeps over a winter town, a dilapidated castle full of secrets, rats running across the cobblestones, foreshadowing some kind of primal force threatening to cast a shadow over everything. screen at one point). This film evokes the best classic horror films. It's moody, unsettling and eerily beautiful. But it's not just artistic. There's a scene with blood gushing from the neck (it's a vampire movie, after all) and stake-wielding villagers wanting to use folklore to fight off an unseen force.
“Does evil come from within us or beyond us?” Depp asks elsewhere in the trailer. Looking at the video, it appears that the answer to 'Nosferatu' came from both places.
In addition to Depp, actor Bill Skarsgård swapped Pennywise's clown makeup for Count Orlok's razor-sharp fangs. (He was seen crouching like a bat, peeking from behind.) Nicholas Hoult and Aaron Taylor-Johnson also appeared. And Emma Corrin. Eggers also reunites with Willem Dafoe, who was memorable as the crusty former sailor in 'The Lighthouse' and also appeared in the director's previous film, 'The Northman.' The Viking epic starred Skarsgård's brother, Alexander Skarsgård, as a Norse warrior with impressively low body fat and formidably chiseled abs.
The film is based on the 1922 German Expressionist masterpiece directed by FW Murnau. The production of this film inspired 2000's completely fictional “Shadow of the Vampire.” -A life vampire has taken on the role of Orlok. He plays a vampire killer here. “Nosferatu” was remade by Werner Herzog in 1979 as “Nosferatu the Vampire,” featuring his frequent collaborator Klaus Kinski, chewing scenery, nubile necks and everything else that appears to be the titular vampire. . Co-starring Isabelle Adjani and Bruno Ganz, the film became a cult favorite.
The video was shared by Focus Features during parent company Universal's Las Vegas CinemaCon presentation. “Nosferatu” is scheduled to be released on December 25, 2024. Because nothing gets moviegoers into the holiday spirit like watching vampires try to satisfy their bloodlust. Eggers also directed the 2015 film “The Witch,” an atmospheric horror hit set in New England in the 1630s.
