Nosferatu: Movie Overview
Nosferatu is a 2024 American gothic horror film, written and directed by Robert Eggers. It is a remake of the 1922 silent film Nosferatu, which was an unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula. The film features an ensemble cast including Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe, while also reuniting Eggers with the frequently collaborating cinematographer Jarin Blaschke.
Development on Nosferatu began in 2015 when Eggers planned to make it his second film, describing it as a passion project, but he eventually opted to delay its production. Skarsgård and Depp were cast as leads in September 2022. Hoult joined the cast the following month, with the remaining cast confirmed at the start of production. Filming took place primarily at Barrandov Studios in Prague between February and May 2023.
Nosferatu had its world premiere in Berlin, Germany, on December 2, 2024, and is scheduled to be released on December 25, 2024, by Focus Features domestically and Universal Pictures internationally. The film received critical acclaim, with praise for its direction, cinematography, production design, costumes, makeup and performances.
Set in the 1800s, Nosferatu follows real estate salesman Thomas Hutter (Hoult), who is tasked with finding a new residence for wealthy Transylvanian Count Orlok (Skarsgård). While trying to fulfill the task, Hutter learns that Orlok, a vampire, is infatuated with his wife, Ellen Hutter (Depp), and everyone’s dynamics become complicated.
Nosferatu had its world premiere on December 2, 2024 at the Zoo Palast cinema in Berlin, Germany. The film is scheduled for release on December 25, 2024, by Focus Features domestically and Universal Pictures internationally. The film will be shown in IMAX, as well as in Dolby Cinema, and in addition to those screens it will receive special showings in 35mm in select theaters, with an example being Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in California.
