Filmmaker Robert Eggers brings a classic folklore vampire back to the screen in "Nosferatu", a gothic horror film centred on the trajectory of its female heroine, played by Lily-Rose Depp. Written and directed by Eggers,

While speaking to Total Film, Eggers told the outlet that Skarsgård will look unrecognizable to fans as Count Orlok. The actor "lost a tremendous amount of weight" for the role and would spend roughly six hours in the hair and makeup chair to fully transform into a blood-thirsty vampire.

He is coming. It’s been over 100 years since F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu — and over 45 since Klaus Kinski donned the pointy ears. 2024 seems as good a time as any for the return of Nosferatu. The film once again follows a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire obsessed with her.

A magnificent Lily-Rose Depp is the convulsing, hysteric target of Bill Skarsgård’s vampire, in this star-studded adaptation co-starring Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin and Willem Dafoe
