There’s Another Nosferatu Remake With A Horror Legend Coming Out This Year
From legendary horror writer/director Robert Eggers, a new Nosferatu remake has a decidedly haunting trailer out. The new Nosferatu promises a stylized look that includes a monochromatic but not entirely black-and-white color profile, a talented cast, and a haunting soundtrack. The remake promises to bring all the vampire chills and thrills to its audience.

One big difference between the original and the Nosferatu remake is that the new version will have sound, including dialogue and a musical soundtrack. The remake has a heavy, robust soundtrack, likely as a nod to the original film, but there is dialogue, which was not possible when the original was made in 1922.
While there will be audio in the remake, many design aspects of the film point to its German expressionist and silent film roots.
The original Nosferatu of 1922 was directed by German film legend F.W. Murnau, who was an early film giant, emigrating to the US in 1926 to work for the Fox Studio and directing classics like Sunrise.
The 1922 version of Nosferatu is an example of German expressionist film and is an attempt to convey the feelings of the artist rather than to portray a one-to-one copy of reality. Writer/director Robert Eggers certainly has a steep hill to climb to achieve success with his Nosferatu remake, but his impressive horror roots give him a decided edge.
Writer and director Robert Eggers made sensational modern horror classics like The Lighthouse, The Witch, and The Tell Tale Heart, so his choice to write and direct a Nosferatu remake seems like a no-brainer.
His experience with crafting horror stories that feel like fables or folklore and honing in on the inner fear of the human soul to generate relatable apprehension for an audience positions him as a likely director to retell a classic vampire story with an ancient origin.
With so much spooky potential, Eggers’ Nosferatu appears to be a haunting success.
The cast of the new Nosferatu remake includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bill Skarsgård, Emma Corrin, Willem Dafoe, and Nicholas Hoult
A deep pool of talent was tapped for the Nosferatu remake. The cast of the new Nosferatu remake includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson of Kickass fame as Freidrich Harding, Bill Skarsgård best known for his portrayal of Pennywise in the It movies of 2017 and 2019 as Count Orlock, and Emma Corrin of Deadpool and Wolverine fame as Anna Harding. Also included in the star-studded cast are Willem Dafoe as Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz, Nicolas Hoult as Thomas Hutter, and Ralph Ineson as Dr. Wilhlem Seivers.
The planned release of the Nosferatu remake is for Christmas of 2024, bringing a spooky theatrical release for the holidays. The trailer doesn’t show us exactly what our favorite vampire, Count Orlock, looks like once he transforms, so we’ll have to use our imaginations until Christmas. The film doesn’t have a streaming release date yet.
