Nosferatu Remake Reportedly in the Works
Count Orlok looks poised for a comeback.
By Jordan Sirani
A remake of the silent horror film Nosferatu is in the works at Studio 8.
Deadline reports the currently untitled remake of the 1922 classic will be written and directed by Robert Eggers. Eggers wrote and directed The Witch, which earned him the directing award at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Jay Van Hoy and Lars Knudsen’s production company, Parts and Labor, will produce the film.
This wouldn't be the first time Nosferatu was remade; Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre was released in 1979.
IGN named the original film's Count Orlok one of the most influential monsters in movie history, calling Max Schreck’s performance as Orlok "eerie and iconic."
In related, and more unfortunate news, the head of original Nosferatu director F.W. Murnau was reportedly stolen from his grave recently.
