Bill Skarsgard and Lily-Rose Depp are expected to star in yet another remake of the classic Vampire horror film Nosferatu. The movie will be produced by Jeff Robinov’s Studio 8. According to a report in Deadline, Skarsgard will play the title role and Robert Eggers will direct. Jeff Robinov is a former film executive at Warner Bros.

The movie was first planned back in 2017, but casting complications and the Covid crisis combined to force the project to be shelved for a few years.

The story of Nosferatu was basically a rip off of the original vampire story and its makers even lost a lawsuit over copyright infringement. The character was created for the screen in the 1922 German silent film of that name which was directed by F. W. Murnau and starred Max Schreck as Count Orlok, the vampire. The movie became a classic and was remade by famed director Werner Herzog in the 1979 film “Nosferatu the Vampyre.”
