Can't wait to see if Eggers does his version of the iconic rise up from the coffin, I think this also inspired Michael Myer's rise up and The Undertaker's rise up

Does anyone know why Nosferatu 2024 got a December release date instead of an October or fall one?

Aside from the long wait, I'm actually pretty cool with the December/Christmas release for the remake, I'm just curious as to whether an official explanation was given as to why the film was being released on Christmas instead of, say, October or November.

Rank your favorite Robert Eggers feature films from favorite to least favorite.

Basically what the title says. I know he only has three feature films to date (not counting the short films), with the Nosferatu remake being the fourth, but I was curious to see how others were ranking his movies alongside one another.

I thought this shot focusing on the hand of my NECA Count Orlok was pretty cool! Really liking the look of Orloks hands in the trailer with the long nails, very reminiscent of the original 🦇

I think this will be the tallest and most imposing version of Nosteratu/Dracula that we've had yet.

I was thinking about the different variations of Nosferatu/Dracula that have appeared in film adaptations so far, and in terms of actor heights, I think Bill Skarsgard will be the the tallest version of the character to date at 6'4," if we're going by actor height.

To rank all Nosferatu/Dracula actor heights from tallest to shortest, we've got:

  1. Bill Skarsgard - 6'4"
  2. Max Schreck - 6'3"
  3. Bela Lugosi - 6'1"
  4. Klaus Kinski, Gary Oldman, Willem Dafoe - around 5'8" or 5'9"

Edit: Ignore the typo in the post title, Reddit won't let me go back and edit it lol.

Edit 2: I completely forgot about Christopher Lee, who is 6'5."

I''m wondering what Orlok's eyes will look like. In the trailer, the irises appear milky, as if covered by a haze, and pupil-less. Do you think they'll look like that all the time, or is it, for example, Ellen's vision or nightmare?"

New look at Hutter in the castle

Robert Eggers' Nosferatu shot at Pernstejn Castle in the Czech Republic - where Werner Herzog's version also filmed. However, each production used the location differently. "We were able to use the Herzog castle without using the Herzog castle, which was kind of awesome," Eggers tells Empire.

What do you think 2024!Orlok's voice will sound like?

I recently watched Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) and read about how Gary Oldman lowered his voice an octave to play Dracula for the film, and remembered reading somewhere that Bill Skarsgard reportedly worked with opera coaches to lower his voice an octave as well for the remake.

I'm sure Orlok's voice will be some variation of deep coupled with a thick Romanian of some kind, but I loved what Skarsgard did with Pennywise's voice, and I'm hoping to see that same creativity at work with remake!Orlok so it's not just another stereotypical thickly-accented vampire voice.

I've noticed that many people think "Nosferatu" will be too dark. They especially criticize the idea of lighting the Transylvania scenes with candles. Do you share these concerns?

Help me find entertainment to consume which has similarities to Robert Egger's work.

I've recently become obsessed with Robert's films, cannot wait for (😢)January and need something to fill the gap in the meantime. Would love some recommendations of entertainment from you guys which gave you similar vibes to Robert Egger's films. Movies, books, art, youtube videos, whatever. I've seen lists of Robert's favorite movies and artists so no need to shout these out again. Thanks🙏

Do you think we'll get a scene in the Nosferatu remake where Hutter gets taken to the castle by a coachman that looks strangely like Orlok?

Highlights from Den Of Geek article on Nosferatu .

“The movie he’s dreamed about for so long is finished with the edit locked back in April, yet closure remains elusive”

“My main goal was to ask, ‘what would a dead Transylvanian nobleman look like? The hairstyle and all of the clothing, and all the trappings come down to that, then creating a scary , imposing, masculine vampire rather than a sad vampire, although Bill still adds needed pathos in a few moments”

Bill sat for six hours in his makeup chair for full-body prosthetics which was just the beginning. Orlok was once a sorcerer in the 1500s who survived being in a grave.

The film takes place during 1838 a fictional port city of Wisburg

Ellen Hutter (Lily Rose Depp) has always been haunted by the monster of Orlok since she was child and is now coming to her in person .

A lot of scenes will involve the use of candlelight to light up scenes

All of the scenes of Depp moving her body was all done for real and not CGI .
