According to sources, Bill Skarsgard and Lily-Rose Depp will co-star as the title character in Robert Egger’s Nosferatu.
Eggers will write, direct, and produce the reimagined version of the beloved movie. A disturbed young woman (Depp) in 19th-century Germany becomes obsessed with the ancient Transylvanian vampire (Skarsgard), who hunts her and brings unimaginable terror with him, in the gothic story Nosferatu.
Jeff Robinov, John Graham, Eggers, Chris Columbus, and Eleanor Columbus are the producers of the Focus Features film.
The film has reportedly been the director’s passion project for many years, and he came close to finishing everything back in 2019.
Following the 1922 silent picture and the Werner Herzog-directed 1979 version, Eggers was preparing his own Nosferatu movie when he gave Variety an exclusive interview that was published in 2017. The director initially intended to collaborate with Anya Taylor-Joy and Harry Styles. The Northman’s filming was delayed by the coronavirus outbreak, which also changed the preparations for Nosferatu. Numerous scheduling difficulties resulted from this, which caused Harry Styles to leave the movie in March after initially being cast opposite Taylor-Joy. Skarsgard was immediately signed by Eggers’, but Taylor-Joy was unable to fit the movie into her hectic schedule.
Bill Skarsgard is best known for his spooky portrayal of Pennywise in the It series. He has recently been in Marvel’s Eternals, Nine Days, and the horror film Barbarian, which he also executive produced. According to Variety, he’ll next be seen in John Wick: Chapter 4, Boy Kills World, and he’ll also star in the new The Crow.
In contrast, Lily-Rose Depp will co-star with The Weeknd in the upcoming HBO series The Idol, which is being produced by Sam Levinson, the director of Euphoria. She most recently appeared in the Silent Night remake.
