Nicholas Hoult says that Nosferatu is 'completely the opposite' of Renfield.
Nicholas Hoult is currently riding high on the success of his latest release Renfield. Coming from Universal Picture’s Dark Universe, the movie features Nicolas Cage as Dracula and Hoult as his titular lackey. The horror-comedy upholds the plight of Renfield who is attempting to escape his relationship with his toxic boss and creates ample room for comedic instances.
Based on the 1922 silent film of the same name Eggers' upcoming Nosferatu will follow the story of a young woman in 19th-century Germany who is stalked by a vampire, bringing untold horror. Hoult is joined by the likes of Bill Skarsgård and Willem Dafoe among others. Hoult recently told Collider that he's "very excited by what [Robert Eggers is] creating and his version of Nosferatu. I know it's a film that he's been wanting to make since he was eight years old.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT What is Nosferatu About? The original silent film itself is loosely based on the 1897 novel Dracula, directed by F. W. Murnau and the movie was heavily inspired by German Expressionism. It is considered an influential masterpiece of cinema and the horror genre. Coming right out of Renfield, Hoult told Total Film he wasn’t looking to delve back into the genre.
Eggers is well known to have made the horror flick The Witch, and the historical thriller The Northman as well as The Lighthouse, a drama starring Robert Pattinson and Dafoe. His distinct taste and aesthetic make him a unique director, but he's inspired many other filmmakers along the way. It remains to be seen how Nosferatu shapes up, but as Hoult mentioned it certainly has a lot of potential.
