Nicholas Hoult is already in Renfield with Nicolas Cage. Now he may join Bill Skarsgard in Robert Eggers' Nosferatu.
Nicholas Hoult is in talks to join Bill Skarsgard in Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu remake. Famed silent film director F.W. Murnau set the stage for many vampire films to come with his 1922 Nosferatu. Loosely based on Dracula, the expressionistic classic inspired the infamous Werner Herzog to do a 1979 remake starring the equally-infamous Klaus Kinski.
Vampires of course remain incredibly important to pop culture 100 years after Murnau made Nosferatu, as evidenced again by AMC’s new adaptation of Ann Rice’s Interview With the Vampire. So it’s no surprise that Nosferatu itself is being dug up one more time, this time by The Northman helmer Eggers. Frequent Eggers collaborator Anya Taylor-Joy was indeed originally set to join him in remaking the vampire classic, alongside Harry Styles.
Why Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu Will Be WEIRD Nosferatu writer-director Eggers obviously is no stranger to the world of horror, having begun his feature film career with the very atmospheric and psychologically oppressive The Witch, starring Taylor-Joy. Eggers then followed this up with another foray into the netherworld between the real and unreal, the Willem Dafoe-Robert Pattinson two-hander The Lighthouse.
Though Eggers’ previous three films can all be said to live in different genres, they all share in common certain traits that have become the director’s signatures: an obsessive faithfulness to period in terms of design, a story that deals to some extent with folklore and a willingness to incorporate strange and surreal imagery at any given moment.
