Diving Deeper into the Nosferatu Teaser Trailer
After giving a sneak peek in the theatres during the screening of ‘The Bikeriders' over the weekend, the teaser trailer of Eggers' Nosferatu is now available online as well. The trailer hints at a retelling of the unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
The original ‘Nosferatu' held audiences captive with its chilling story. The enigmatic Count Orlok calls Thomas Hutter to his distant castle nestled in the Transylvanian mountains. All seems fine until the Count's bloodsucking nature is revealed, and fearing for his wife Ellen, Hutter tries to escape the eerie castle.
So, how does Eggers' version compare?
Eggers takes on an ancient Gothic tale of terror set in 19th-century Germany. The plot revolves around a young, haunted woman whose life becomes a living nightmare when an old-world vampire starts stalking her, bringing doom and gloom with him.
Star-Studded Cast Set to Create Magic
Wait till you hear about the excellent cast the director has roped in. Taking the lead role is Bill Skarsgard, widely recognized for his chilling portrayal of Pennywise in the ‘It' films. Here he takes on the role of Count Orlok – a part Skarsgard describes as “conjuring pure evil.” Veterans like Willem Dafoe, Lily-Rose Depp, and Nicholas Hoult also star, making this film a must-see.
