What Is ‘Nosferatu’ About?
Described as a gothic “tale of obsession, love, seduction, and fear,”Nosferatuis set in the 1800s and is expected to stick closely to the original story ofDraculawherein a man named Thomas Hutter is sent by his boss to help a castle owner with some paperwork for a new home. Interestingly, this new home is next door to Hutter, who slowly begins to uncover reasons that make him believe that his client, Count Orlok, might be a bloodsucking vampire. Things take a turn when Count Orlok sees a glimpse of Hutter’s wife, Ellen, and is taken aback by her beauty. As Hutter realizes their lives are in danger, the couple searches for a way to destroy Count Orlok before it’s too late.
It remains to be seen howEgger, considered a master of dark period pieces, interprets the tale for a new audience.Skarsgård, who plays Count Orlok aka Dracula, previously hinted at his character’s juxtaposed attractive and disgusting elements, divulging:
“He’s gross. But it is very sexualized. It’s playing with a sexual fetish about the power of the monster and what that appeal has to you. Hopefully, you’ll get a little bit attracted by it and disgusted by your attraction at the same time.”
The movie also castsNicholas Houltas Thomas Hutter, Depp as Ellen Hutter,Aaron Taylor-Johnsonas Friedrich Harding,Emma Corrinas Anna Harding,Ralph Inesonas Dr. Wilhelm Sievers,Simon McBurneyas Herr Knock andWillem Dafoeas Albin Eberhart Von Franz.
