A few days ago, the filming of the Nosferatu (2023), the gothic horror film by Robert Eggers (The VVitch).
According to reports by Prague Reporter, the filming of the movie was actually completed last May 19, after about three months of filming done in the Czech Republic.
The film is the Focus Features-branded cinematic retelling of Nosferatu the vampire (directed by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau), considered one of the cornerstones of horror and expressionist cinema.
The cast 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), Bill Skarsgård (It, It - Chapter Two) and Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass, Bullet Train).
The story of the new Nosferatu 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 Shadow of the Vampire (by E. Elias Merhige), a fictional tribute to Murnau's masterpiece and starring Willem Dafoe himself, dates from 2000.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson instead will play the role of Friedrich Harding.
