Focus Features’ nearly two-minute teaser trailer for Nosferatu features multiple characters warning that “he is coming.” The “he” is, of course, the vampire everyone fears. He only briefly appears in the intense first official teaser, with most of the snippets focusing on Lily-Rose Depp (Johnny’s daughter) as Ellen Hutter and Willem Dafoe as Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz.
The studio also unveiled new photos from the upcoming December 25, 2024 theatrical release.
“Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake,” reads Focus Features brief description.
In addition to Depp and Dafoe, the horror film stars Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok, Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hutter, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Friedrich Harding, Emma Corrin as Anna Harding, Ralph Ineson as Dr. Wilhelm Sievers, and Simon McBurney as Knock.
Writer/director Eggers has built up an impressive resume since winning Spirit Awards for Best First Feature and Best First Screenplay with his directorial debut The VVitch: A New-England Folktale in 2015. In 2019, Eggers followed that with the Oscar-nominated The Lighthouse starring Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe. In 2022, he turned his attention to the Vikings with The Northman starring Alexander Skarsgard, Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Willem Dafoe.
Eggers serves as a producer along with Jeff Robinov, John Graham, Chris Columbus, and Eleanor Columbus.
