Director Robert Eggers casts THE CROWN star Emma Corrin in his film NOSFERATU

Emma Corrinstar of The crown, My cop AND Lady Chatterley’s loveris the latest actor to join the cast of Robert Egger’passion project, Nosferatua remake of the iconic and gruesome 1922 vampire film. We have no idea who Corrin plays in the gothic horror story, but they join a great cast.

Also includes the rest of the cast Lily Rose-Depp, Bill Skarsgard, Nicholas Hoult AND Willem DeFoe. In this new revision, Nosferatu tells the gothic tale of the obsession between a bewitched young woman (Depp) in 19th-century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire (Skarsgard) who stalks her, bringing unspeakable horror with her.

Eggers has been working on making this film for years. He also has a long interesting history with film because when he was in high school, he produced a remake of it for his senior year project. Actually he played Count Orlok. Speaking of this, he said:

“Then, when I was 17, I directed the senior show [of] “Nosferatu”. He was very expressionist, he was much more expressionist than the film. It was in the ‘Cabinet of Dr. Caligari’ style [German Expressionistic].”

He went on to talk about what he would have done with film when he was 17, and what he’s trying to do with film recently, saying:

“That’s when I knew this was what I wanted to do. ‘Nosferatu’ has a very close and magical bond for me. Although if you were to make the film that 17-year-old Rob would have made of ‘Nosferatu’ it would have been something between ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ and ‘Sin City’ while this will be the same approach as ‘The Witch’ where Baltic Germany Biedermeier from 1830 needs to be articulated in a way that feels real.

FW Murnau and the director of the original 1922, while German director Werner Herzog he notably directed his own version of the classic tale in 1979.

The Focus Features project will be filming in Europe next month. The film is produced by Jeff Robinson, John GrahamEgg, Christopher Columbus AND Eleanor Colombo.
