The first image from Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman) remake of Nosferatu has been released courtesy of Empire Magazine!

“Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”

Eggers tells Empire in their 2024 Preview, “It’s a scary film. It’s a horror movie. It’s a Gothic horror movie. And I do think that there hasn’t been an old-school Gothic movie that’s actually scary in a while. And I think that the majority of audiences will find this one to be the case.”

The image shows Lily-Rose Depp’s character Ellen cast with the shadow of Nosferatu’s claws. Bill Skarsgård will be playing the iconic Count Orlok. Speaking on Skarsgård‘s performance, Eggers says, “I’ll say that Bill has so transformed, I’m fearful that he might not get the credit that he deserves because he’s just… he’s not there.”

Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin also star alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), Simon McBurney (The Conjuring 2) and Ralph Ineson (The Witch).

The film from Focus Features does not yet have a release date, but can be expected sometime in 2024.
