Sink Your Fangs into Robert Egger’s ‘Nosferatu’ Trailer

The chilling new trailer for the highly anticipated film Nosferatu is here, and it’s everything we had hoped for. It’s dark, haunting, and stunning, but that’s something we have come to expect from director Robert Eggers. In the film, Lily-Rose Depp’s Ellen wrestles with anguish as Orlok’s spell pulls her in. She seeks answers from Willem Dafoe’s Professor Von Franz, but is it too late? Meanwhile, bloodcurdling imagery and a city gripped by fear paint a vivid picture of the horror to come. Nicholas Hoult plays Ellen’s betrothed, Thomas, who is destined to be the first to encounter the ominous figure. Ralph Ineson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Emma Corrin round out the impressive cast. In a recent interview, Director Eggers expressed concern that Skarsgård’s profound transformation might overshadow his acting brilliance.

I was heavily inspired by Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther films, and ZAZ classics like Airplane and the Naked Gun franchise, because I’ve always loved stories where the cast plays everything as straight as can be, while chaos erupts everywhere around them. Our incredible cast and crew brought so much dedication and fun to the project, and I’m thrilled to share
