Filming has now begun on director David Lee Fisher’s remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent film Nosferatu. The role of the iconic vampire, Count Orlok has been cast. Amazing actor Doug Jones will play the role.
 

Jones As Count Orlok

 
Jones’ most recent role was that of the creature in Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, but you might also recognize Jones from Hellboy as Abe Sapien or in Pan’s Labrinth as the “Pale Man”.
The original, considered the first true vampire film ever made, is an unauthorized adaption of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. Names were changed in the film due to the studio’s inability to obtain the rights. It follows a young woman’s supernatural quest to not only save her lover’s soul but to save the entire world from the “shadow of infernal darkness.”
 

 
The new “remix” of Nosferatu: The Immortal Vampire will be created with a mixture of new footage and colorized digitally recreated backgrounds from the original film.
Jones joins the cast that already includes Jack Turner (Legends of Tomorrow), Emrhys Cooper (Person of Interest), Joely Fisher (Last Man Standing), Sarah Carter (Falling Skies), and Leonard Pirkle (Fallen Angels).
