Lily-Rose Depp Can't Resist Nosferatu: New Trailer

Bill Skarsgård plays the vampire for Robert Eggers (The Witch).

Every generation has its Nosferatu/Dracula. After the cult works of Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau (1922), Werner Herzog (1979) or Francis Ford Coppola (1992), it is now Robert Eggers which attacks the myth of the vampire to renew it for spectators in the 2020s.

The director of The Witch, The Lighthouse And The Northman engaged Bill Skarsgard to interpret the bloodthirsty creature facing Lily-Rose Depp as a woman tormented by nightmares, who cannot resist the calls of the vampire, Nicholas Hoult as a worried husband and Willem Dafoe as a Van Helsing-style doctor.

As in the first teaserhowever, Bill is barely glimpsed: his director has teased a “beast both disgusting and sexy”but for the moment, this remains hidden from the public. Here, it is above all the young woman who is at the heart of the video, as well as multiple elements from Bram Stocker's book, from the warnings of the “madman” (Renfield?) to the famous boat, the Demeter, allowing the vampire to reach the English coast, of course passing through the distressing landscapes of Transylvannia. All offering a glacial and disturbing overview of this new Nosferatushot like his main model in black and white, with particular care in creating details “old fashioned”as for the logos of its studios, for example.

This horror film will be released at Christmas in cinemas.
