The wickedly interesting cinematic vision of filmmaker Robert Eggers is without question distinctly and uniquely his own. His three feature films have ran the gamut between incredible (“The Witch”) to disappointing (“The Lighthouse”) to something in between (“The Northman”). Regardless, each film displayed an alluring visual and narrative style unlike anything else out there today. Judging by its captivating first trailer, his new film “Nosferatu” looks to continue that trend.
Essentially a remake of F. W. Murnau’s 1922 film of the same name, “Nosferatu” is a gothic period piece that tells the story of Count Orlock (Bill Skarsgård) and his growing infatuation with a troubled young woman named Ellen Hunter (Lily-Rose Depp). The film also features Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Willem Dafoe, Ralph Ineson, and Simon McBurney. Eggers’ fascinating use of imagery is seen all through the trailer and we get a really good sense of the tone he’s going for. I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us.
“Nosferatu” is currently set to release on December 25th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

This looks sick as fuck and OH HELL YEAH! The casting of Willem Dafoe is meta as fuck considering he played Max Schrek in <i>Shadow of the Vampire</i>. I think I’ll have to re-watch the original and the 1979 film by Werner Herzog w/ Klaus Kinski.
Plus, I have Robert Eggers as an upcoming Auteurs subject for early next year though I still haven’t really gotten started on my Michael Mann piece because I’ve been tired dealing with my niece and nephew running around the house.
So many things to watch, right?
Yep, and not one of them is Red One…. goddamn…. $250 million down the drain.
I may do a First Glance on it. Then again, maybe not.
Have you seen the trailer for Here? I think an intervention needs to be staged for Robert Zemeckis. It looks worse than Pinocchio.
I did. Didn’t get a chance to write about it. Could be good and could be a disaster.
It does not look good at all. If this is the future of cinema, count me the fuck out.
Has he done this as a this a p**s take? It had me laughing anyway, I’m in. Maybe I should say pastiche, but it’s good funny.
It looks absolutely bonkers!

I’ll be watching, but I weep for the fact that we almost had Anya Taylor Joy in the lead role. She would’ve been great.
