UPDATED: Deadline are reporting Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgard have been cast. However, this week’s production weekly has Anya Taylor-Joy still starring. Who knows.
EXCLUSIVE: Robert Eggers, who is coming off this past April’s critically-acclaimed “The Northman,” will be shooting his fourth film very late this year.
That’s right, Eggers’ passion project, “Nosferatu” has finally gotten the green light. Earlier this year, Eggers managed to register “Nosferatu” with the Czech Film Fund. That was already a great sign that the film was moving forward. A production in Prague and Toronto is now set for the film.
Anya Taylor-Joy is billed as the the lead for “Nosferatu,” which Eggers has been working on since 2015. Eggers regular Jarin Blaschke will be the cinematographer. Prep work is set to begin in early October with Focus Features producing the film.
"Nosferatu" is well-know as the essential depiction of a Vampire in cinema. There's hasn't been anything quite like it. The official synopsis I was sent for Eggers’ version reads as follows: “An epic medieval fantasy based on the Dracula mythology. A vampire in Transylvania becomes enamoured with the wife of the man who is helping him relocate.”
The ‘Smile’ franchise has a new director. David Bruckner, who made “The Night House” and the 2022 “Hellraiser” reboot, has been hired to direct “Smile 3” for Paramount.
