Lily-Rose Depp stuns in Robert Eggers's "Nosferatu" remake
Lily-Rose Depp will be one of the new "Nosferatu" stars. This horror movie is already sending chills down spines, and the production has begun to ramp up interest around the film. They are publishing scary shots.
Sometimes, it’s not worth revisiting classic films and making remakes, as the creators of "The Crow" with Bill Skarsgard and FKA Twigs found out. The production received almost zero interest from audiences worldwide, as evidenced by the box office takings. The film had a budget of CAD 68 million, and just a few days after its release, it had only earned CAD 13 million. Director Fede Alvarez successfully introduced a new story in the "Alien" series and serves up a blast from the past. "Alien: Romulus," which cost CAD 108 million, has already grossed over CAD 297 million worldwide. Now audiences can look forward to a new... "Nosferatu".
Lily-Rose Depp terrifies in "Nosferatu"
As we have already mentioned, many people are eagerly awaiting the new version of "Nosferatu," which will appear in theatres thanks to Robert Eggers. "'Nosferatu' is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire who becomes infatuated with her, causing unimaginable horror," the producer's description reads.
The first trailer for Eggers's film is already out. In just 15 hours, it was viewed more than 3 million times on YouTube, and the count is still rising. "This is exactly how a vampire horror should look. Suspense and lots of fear. A beautiful horror and the best monster," wrote one user under the video. It appears that Eggers will have us covering our eyes in theatres.
The production is still cranking up the excitement. Not all of the intense scenes were revealed in the trailer. To remind audiences why they should anticipate this horror film, a new photo from the "Nosferatu" set has been released online, featuring Johnny Depp's bloodied daughter.
"He is coming," reads the brief caption, while the comments are flooded with praise for how dark and menacing the new take on the classic vampire tale looks.
There has been talk of Eggers tackling "Nosferatu" since 2015. The film was supposed to be made earlier and be his second project. However, something held it back. "It's disgusting, blasphemous, and selfish for a filmmaker like me to make 'Nosferatu' as a second film. I really planned to wait, but fate had other plans," he commented. The film didn't come together as quickly as expected, and Eggers even threatened in the media that he might not finish it at all. The "sign" was that Anya Taylor-Joy, who was Eggers's first choice for the lead role, couldn't take on the part.
"Nosferatu" will hit theatres in Canada on December 25, 2024.
