As promised, the first official trailer for the Robert Eggers-directed Nosferatu debuted exclusively in movie theaters over the weekend, and it’s now officially available online.
Focus Features will release Nosferatu in theaters for Christmas on December 25, 2024.
Watch the official teaser trailer for Nosferatu below, which sets the stage for the iconic movie monster’s return with a first look bathed in dark gothic vibes. Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film, and this first teaser trailer smartly keeps the monster hidden in the shadows. But his sinister presence is lurking around every corner…
“Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”
Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin and Lily-Rose Depp also star alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), Simon McBurney and Ralph Ineson.
Eggers (The Witch, The Northman) directs and he wrote the script. Eggers also serves as a producer alongside Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, Jeff Robinov, and John Graham.
F.W. Murnau directed the original 1922 version of Nosferatu, while fellow German filmmaker Werner Herzog notably directed his own version of the classic tale back in 1979.
The 1922 silent movie followed the vampire Count Orlok, who wants to buy a house in Germany and becomes enamored with the real-estate agent’s wife. It was an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” which almost led to all copies being destroyed.
