Robert Eggers, who is coming off “The Northman,” has wrapped production on his long-gestating passion project, “Nosferatu.” The shoot occured in both Prague and Toronto.
We can expect it to be released next year.
Eggers’ decade-in-the-making project finally got greenlit last October via Focus Features. Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgard, Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are part of the cast. Eggers regular Jarin Blaschke will be the cinematographer.
"Nosferatu" is well-known as the essential and most iconic Vampire in cinema. There's hasn't been anything quite like F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent-era classic. While we’re at it, check out Dafoe’s terrific depiction of the bloodsucker in 2000’s “Shadow of the Vampire.”
The official synopsis for Eggers’ version reads as follows: “ Robert Eggers’ NOSFERATU is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”
Cinematographer Jarin Blaschke, who lives in Prague, confirmed that the film had been shot in color, with a look reminiscent of 19th century Romanticism.
