Nicholas Hoult in Nosferatu 2024
Nicholas Hoult reveals the one acting trick he had to avoid on Nosferatu, because director Robert Eggers dislikes it. Hoult dipped his toe in the horror genre with 2023’s Renfield, though that particular vampire tale inclined toward comedy. But this time around, the star is diving headfirst into the deep end, playing the Jonathan Harker proxy Thomas Hutter in Eggers’ highly-anticipated Nosferatu remake, releasing to theaters on December 25.
I’d previously been shooting a show called The Great for a while, and with that character, I got away with a lot of comedic eyebrow twitches and movements. So that was something that I quickly had to nix for this role because Rob does not like it. He sent me quite a few Bergman movies and a lot of other movies to research and watch as prep for Nosferatu, and there’s very little eyebrow acting in them. So Rob does not enjoy that, and that was something that felt very alien at first.
✕ Remove Ads Eggers’ previous movies are, among other things, exercises in psychological intensity. There may be some hilarious moments in The Lighthouse, due to the characters’ turpentine-fueled unraveling, but overall the film is sweaty and oppressive. There’s not much levity to be found in either of his other films, The Witch and The Northman, and Nosferatu looks to be even more grimly serious than that.
