Not just for the gripping plotline of the film but also to exclusively preview the ‘Nosferatu' trailer, which is showcased during the movie.
Digging into the Original Nosferatu
For those of you not familiar with ‘Nosferatu,' here's a brief snapshot: It's an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker's famous novel ‘Dracula.' In this nerve-wracking silent horror film, the eerie Count Orlok, played by Max Schreck, lures Thomas Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) to his secluded Transylvanian castle. As Orlok unveils his vampire nature, Hutter's struggle to escape the castle begins, fearing his wife Ellen's safety.
What to Expect from Eggers' Nosferatu
In Eggers' spin on ‘Nosferatu,' expect a captivating gothic tale set in 19th century Germany. An ancient vampire from Transylvania stalks a haunted young lady, wreaking unprecedented horror.
The film parades a star-studded cast, including Bill Skarsgard from ‘It' as Nosferatu. The brilliant actor has revealed that this role was like “conjuring pure evil”, so much so that it took some time for him to shake off the evil aura.
The unyielding Willem Dafoe from ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home' graces us as the maddened vampire hunter Von Franz, while Lily-Rose Depp from ‘The Idol' plays Ellen Hutter. Nicholas Hoult from ‘Renfield' portrays her husband Thomas, formerly a role Skarsgard was set to portray.
And guess who's joining as Thomas's friend Friedrich Harding? Aaron Taylor-Johnson of ‘Bullet Train'. Emma Corrin from ‘The Crown' is in as Friedrich's wife Anna.
The ever-mysterious Dr. Wilhelm Sievers, Von Franz's cohort, is brought to life by Ralph Ineson from ‘The Witch'. Simon McBurney from ‘The Conjuring 2′ remains under wraps, keeping us guessing about his role.
