British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass, Bullet Train) has joined the cast of Nosferatu, the gothic horror film by Robert Eggers (The VVitch).

The cast, in addition to the aforementioned actor, also includes Willem Dafoe (Streets of Fire, The Shadow of the Vampire, John Wick), Lily-Rose Depp (Tusk, Silent Night), Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, Renfield), Emma Corrin (Lady Chatterley's Lover) and Bill Skarsgård (It, It - Chapter Two).
The story sheds light on Ellen Hutter (Lily-Rose Depp), a troubled young woman in 19th-century Germany, and Count Orlok, the dangerous Transylvanian vampire (Bill Skarsgard) who stalks her.
Nicholas Hoult will play the woman's husband, while Willem Dafoe and Emma Corrin will be Albin Eberhart Von Franz and Anna Harding, respectively.
We remember you that Nosferatu the vampire (1922) boasts the makeover Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) by Werner Herzog. In contrast, the year 2000 marks The Shadow of the Vampire (by E. Elias Merhige), a fictional tribute to Murnau's masterpiece and starring Willem Dafoe himself.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson instead will play the role of Friedrich Harding.
