Fans of director Robert Eggers, behind films such as The Witch, The Northman, and The Lighthouse, are eagerly waiting to sink their teeth into his new film Nosferatu, based on the classic 1922 silent film directed by F.W. Murnau. The release date has been announced today, revealing that the film will bear its fangs in theaters in 2024.
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 horrors with him.
Lily-Rose Depp stars alongside IT and Barbarian star Bill Skarsgård, who plays the vampire Count Orlok. The film sees Eggers reunite with actors from his previous films, including Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Skarsgård (The Norseman), Anya Taylor-Johnson (The Witch), and Ralph Ineson (The Witch). Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter) and Simon McBurney (The Conjuring 2) also join the cast.
Eggers directs from the script he penned. He also serves as a producer alongside Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, Jeff Robinov, and John Graham.
Eggers has stated, “Yeah, it’s a scary film. It’s a horror movie. It’s a Gothic horror movie. And I do think that there hasn’t been an old-school Gothic movie that’s actually scary in a while. And I think that the majority of audiences will find this one to be the case.”
Nosferatu is set to sink its fangs into theaters nationwide on December 25, 2024.
