>Dafoe plays a vampire hunter named Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz in Eggers' Prague-shot take on director F.W. Murnau's 1922 horror classic. That film was itself an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula and was previously remade by Werner Herzog as 1979's Nosferatu the Vampyre. While the character from Murnau's film upon which Eggers based Dafoe's professor is on the periphery of the action, the director says he amped up Von Franz to be a "crazy vampire hunter" — a character, he says, "I've always loved and related to."

i too relate to crazy vampire hunters
>“That sequence, aside from having real flames, had 2,000 real rats," Eggers tells EW.

Are we just going in fricking circles now?!
>In November 2016, Eggers expressed surprise that the Nosferatu remake was going to be his second film, saying, "It feels ugly and blasphemous and egomaniacal and disgusting for a filmmaker in my place to do Nosferatu next. I was planning on waiting a while, but that's how fate shook out.

Based on this image I predict this character could become a new "literally me" guy. Something about the top hat and trench coat that young men with no personality can latch onto. Dafoe might be too old and wacky for it to catch on though
This will be the most mid movie of 2024
Bold take

They could've filmed in Paris to cut costs.
maybe they only needed 2000 rats
Herzog had 11,000 rats, this adaptation got no chance.

Dafoe cracks me up
The joy for vampire hunting is infectious
>IM ACTING
My only baseline for film acting is it looks natural, and he looks natural there.
Willem Dafoe? More like Willem Dafrickinghack.
Nice waist cinch there. Eggers' set design and eye for detail are so great, sometimes I'm shocked to remember he's straight.
Another fricking remake. Kill me
>Kill me
Where do you live, anon?

we've been going in circles since the dawn of time bro rollinglaughingemoji
sampling the sample era.
Part of me hopes that this is good but The Northman wasn't so I'm sceptical now.
>Willem Dafoe stars in a remake of Nosferatu, after starring in a movie about the making of Nosferatu as Nosferatu

Eggers is a hack, Reddit's favorite director
Nobody here likes anything, but I'm looking forward to it. I've liked all his movies, and I like DaFoe.
