Robert Eggers Confirms His Nosferatu Remake Is Happening

We reported back in February that director Robert Eggers had plans to remake F.W. Murnau’s 1922 vampire film ‘Nosferatu’. Since then its been radio silence. Making us wonder if Eggers still has plans to remake the classic that is the unofficial adaption of ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’. It seems that he does. During a recent conversation with Indiewire, Eggers confirmed that the project is still happening [It’s shocking] to me. It feels ugly and blasphemous and egomaniacal and disgusting for a filmmaker in my place to do Nosferatu next,” Eggers admitted. “I was really planning on waiting a while, but that’s how fate shook out.” He continued. “Nosferatu has a very close, magical connection for me. Though if I were to make the movie 17-year-old Rob was going to make of Nosferatu it would have been something between like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Sin City, whereas this is going to be the same approach as The Witch, where 1830s Biedermeier

Jurassic Park 2 Both A Sequel To Jurassic World And Jurassic Park

Two years ago the ‘Jurassic Park’ franchise returned in a big way with ‘Jurassic World’, from director Colin Trevorrow. Now, the sequel is underway, this time with J.A. Bayona in the director’s chair. Will the new film be a sequel to ‘Jurassic World’ or ‘Jurassic Park’? Bayona answered that question yesterday. During an interview with CinemaBlend.com about his upcoming film ‘A Monster Calls’, Bayona stated that ‘Jurassic World 2’ will be both. That’s a good question! I think somehow it’s both. It’s a very good question, and what we are doing is a sequel to Jurassic World, but it’s definitely the fifth chapter of a longer saga. It’s very interesting. It’s always tricky, but you need to find a balance in what people expect to find, and the new stuff you’re bringing to the story. And I think the story is looking for a connection between Jurassic World and Jurassic Park – more than Jurassic World did.” Cinema Blend went
