Eggers reportedly credits F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent vampire film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror for helping point him to his current career; he was "captivated" by the film when he first watched it at 9 years old, went on to direct a stage adaptation of it in high school, and has wanted to adapt Nosferatu for the screen ever since.
Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård) is causing chaos offscreen. We don't get a clear glimpse of the vampire in the latest Focus Features trailer, but we do see the impact of his obsession with Ellen Hutter (Lily-Rose Depp). "Standing before me was ... death. But I'd never been so happy," she confides, half-crying and half-laughing.
