Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu may be missing out on the Halloween hype, but it’s still making its presence known with a new trailer drop.
Just in, Focus has given us a new look at a remake of the first vampire movie ever made, and Eggers is sure to put his signature artistic flair on the movie. Check this out:
While a lot of fans were eager to have their first look at Bill Skarsgard in the full Count Orlok make up, the trailer still worked pretty hard to obscure him, and it’s possible that we may not be able to see Orlok in his full vampiric glory until the movie comes out in December.
Even if that was the case, the film still gives the spotlight to several A-listers in the movie including Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Emma Corrin, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
For context, Nosferatu was indeed an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s original Dracula, but since the filmmakers didn’t own the rights back in the 20s, they opted to just switch out the names of the characters—with Dracula becoming Orlok.
Despite the age of the film, Count’s Orlok’s original look still manages to keep its mark in pop-culture as an iconic movie monster design, with the hunched back, bald head, point ears, fangs, and long fingers.
He even managed to make a cameo in Spongebob Squarepants:
Here’s the official description for the movie:
“Robert Eggers’ NOSFERATU is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.”
Watch out for Nosferatu when it releases in theaters on Dec. 25.
