Classic German expressionism masterpiece "Nosferatu" (1922), which has been remade in 1979 once, gets another remake, for which the trailer has just been released.
After only about 10 hours of being released on distributor "Focus Films" YouTube channel, the trailer already got almost 3 million views - there's certainly an audience for this new "Nosferatu" movie.
On first sight, the trailer looks quite decent. It has hints of Hollywoodism, and making a quick buck from a legendary name - but so far this is just a trailer, and visually it's really quite nice. Featuring Willem Dafoe of "Shadow of the Vampire" fame, the movie gets a little bit of extra "Nosferatu" credibility. Director Robert Eggers obviously has huge shoes to fill, with the previous incarnations of "Nosferatu" being directed by film icons F. W. Murnau and Werner Herzog, and the original movie being one of the most iconic movies ever made, across all genres.
It remains to be seen if the new "Nosferatu" movie can even remotely capture, or recreate, the magic of its predecessors - but judging from the trailer it seems it's (at least) an honest attempt.
Release date for the full movie is set for Dec. 25th 2024.
