Robert Eggers (‘The Witch’) has already begun to shape the idea he has been pursuing for several years of making a Remake of Nosferatuthe 1922 horror film, to which Willem Dafoe could be added.
As reported by Deadline, the director and his ‘The Lighthouse’ star may have reunited with their sights set on the new film. Until now it was known that Eggers would be the director of the adaptation of the horror film, produced by Focus Features, and that part of the cast, already confirmed, we would see familiar faces like Lily-Rose Depp (‘The King’), Bill Skarsgård (‘It’) and Nicholas Houltwho is also currently working on another vampire film (“Renfield”).
In the new episode, the story of a young woman who finds herself being haunted by an old Transylvanian vampire. Set in 19th century Germany, Eggers will bring to our screens a modern take on the classic film about another of the most terrifying vampires of all time.
Full circle for Willem Dafoe
Although the role that Dafoe could have in this film has not yet been confirmed, since not even the production company has pronounced on this, the fact of working on it would be the closing of a circle, since In 2001 he was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as Nosferatu in “Shadow of the Vampire”.
It seems Eggers and Dafoe make a good team together, since it wouldn’t be their first project. In 2019 they worked on “El faro” and three years later they reunited again in “El Hombre del Norte”.
Dafoe is currently working on Wes Anderson’s new film “Asteroid City” and Vasilis Katsoupis’ “Inside,” among others.
