Five ‘Nosferatu’ Character Posters Spotlight Count Orlok’s Latest Batch of Victims
by John Squires · Bloody DisgustingWe are just two months away from the release of one of the most anticipated horror movies of the year, with director Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) resurrecting the horror classic Nosferatu this coming holiday season with a brand new movie from Focus Features.
Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film, whose appearance still remains hidden in a new batch of Nosferatu character posters debuted by IGN this morning.
The five character posters instead spotlight stars Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, Willem Dafoe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp, and you can check them out below.
Nosferatu will release in theaters on December 25, 2024.
“Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”
Eggers (The Witch, The Northman) directs and he wrote the script. Eggers also serves as a producer alongside Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, Jeff Robinov, and John Graham.
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.
The 1922 silent movie followed the vampire Count Orlok, who wants to buy a house in Germany and becomes enamored with the real-estate agent’s wife. It was an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” which almost led to all copies being destroyed.
