The upcoming gothic horror film Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers, offers a haunting reinterpretation of the iconic vampire story. Starring Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgård, the film is set to release on December 25, 2024, and has already generated significant anticipation with its chilling trailers.
In the extended second trailer, Depp’s character is drawn into a dark world of obsession, captivated by the sinister vampire played by Skarsgård. As she tearfully declares, “I’d never been so happy,” the trailer teases a haunting dynamic between the two characters. Skarsgård’s portrayal of the vampire lurks menacingly in shadowy corners, evoking terror with every appearance.
Nosferatu follows a long legacy of films inspired by F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent masterpiece, which was based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Eggers’ new take on the story promises a fresh, eerie twist while honoring the gothic roots of the classic horror tale.
The film features Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Willem Dafoe, who previously earned an Academy Award nomination for his Shadow of the Vampire role. Eggers, known for his previous work on The Lighthouse and The Northman, collaborates again with Focus Features, signaling another successful release.
