Robert Eggers admirably established himself as a serious filmmaker with his chilling debut, The Witch, psychedelic follow-up The Lighthouse and recent carnage-riddled Viking thriller The Northman.

But Eggers has always wanted to remake Nosferatu and hes now getting that chance.

Deadline reported that the eponymous vampire in Eggers film will be portrayed by Bill Skarsgard , who famously played Pennywise in Andy Muschiettis 2017 remake of Stephen Kings It. Lily-Rose Depp will reportedly play the female lead.
