Director Robert Eggers and actress Anya Taylor-Joy (Split, Marrowbone) will also work together on the remake of Nosferatu the vampire (Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens), the German classic directed by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau in 1922. The confirmation was given by the Los Angeles Times.
Following The VVitch (2016), a film about witchcraft that launched both of their careers, The Lighthouse starring Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, and after the still unreleased revenge movie about Vikings The Northman, Robert Eggers will take on the cinematic reimagining of the famous silent film, considered the German director's masterpiece as well as one of the cornerstones of horror and expressionist cinema.
The project had already been announced in 2015, with Robert Eggers serving as director and screenwriter, but then the development took a back seat. Later, in 2017, Variety reported, in the cast, by Anya Taylor-Joy. Instead, in these hours came the news that the actress and the director will collaborate together again.
At present, it is still unclear what Anya Taylor-Joy's role will be, just as no other potential performers or details about the film's plot are known.
Nosferatu the vampire 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.
