Director Of 'THE VVITCH' Taking On 'NOSFERATU' Remake With Bill Skarsgård and Lily-Rose Depp

It’s been a few years since we last heard any progress on Robert Eggers take on Nosferatu. That changes today as news just hit our desk. Deadline reports that Bill Skarsgard and Lily-Rose Depp have come on board the ship, with Robert Eggers planning to make Nosferatu as his next movie for Focus Features.

Bill Skarsgard will reportedly be playing Nosferatu/Count Orlock in the film!

As for Anya Taylor-Joy, it seems she’s now off the project.

Deadline’s report indicates, “In the new reimagining, the pic is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman (Depp) in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire (Skarsgard) who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”

Eggers (The Witch, The Northman) is directing and he also wrote the script.

F.W. Murnau directed the original 1922 version of Nosferatu, while fellow German filmmaker Werner Herzog notably directed his own version of the classic tale back in 1979.
