Willem Dafoe as Albin Eberhart von Franz yelling inside a burning church in Nosferatu
Nosferatu remake writer and director Robert Eggers explains his decision not to film at the notorious Bran Castle in Transylvania, the place famously associated with the real-life Vlad the Impaler. Based on the original silent film made in 1929 by F.W. Murnau, the new Nosferatu will follow an ancient Transylvanian vampire as he stalks a young woman in 19th century Germany. Instead of opting to shoot at Bran Castle. Eggers chose Hunedoara/Corvin's Castle, located in Hunedoara, Romania.
✕ Remove Ads The castle has many different names. Everything in Transylvania has at least three names because of the Saxons, Hungarians, and the ethnic Romanians. But it's Hunedoara Castle or Corvin's Castle. My belief—I have some proof, but someone else could prove me wrong—was that Bram Stoker would've seen an engraving of that castle in Emily Gerard's book on Transylvania when the spires were collapsing and falling apart.
