As a film enthusiast with a deep appreciation for both the classics and contemporary cinema, I must say that the upcoming release of Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu” has left me absolutely thrilled. With Lily-Rose Depp in the lead role and Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok/Nosferatu, this reimagining of the timeless horror tale promises to be a masterpiece that will leave audiences spellbound.
As we approach the end of 2024, there aren’t many new releases left to anticipate. However, one exceptional movie set to grace our screens this winter is Nosferatu, Robert Eggers’ eagerly awaited modern take on the iconic horror film. Scheduled for release in cinemas this Christmas, early previews have already labeled it a masterpiece. One notable aspect of the movie is Lily-Rose Depp portraying Ellen Hutter, who, from the trailers, appears to engage in a complex relationship with Bill Skarsgård’s Count Orlok/Nosferatu. Depp’s performance in this film, especially working alongside Eggers, has been a long-held ambition for the actor, along with other renowned auteur directors.
During an interview with Vanity Fair, Depp shared that Eggers had long been on his wishlist of directors to work with. Upon being asked to name other creative professionals he aspired to collaborate with, Depp rattled off a list of prominent figures, some of whom have already garnered recognition in the form of awards as early as last year:
“I would love to work with
Jonathan Glazer.
I’m obsessed with his movies. I would love to work with
Yorgos Lanthimos.
Another amazing world-builder. I would love to work with
Justine Triet
who made
Anatomy of a Fall
. I also would love to work with
Halina Reijn,
who made
Babygirl
.”
In the 96th Academy Awards, Jonathan Glazer’s latest movie from 2023 titled The Zone of Interest won the Oscar for Best International Feature, was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Director. Meanwhile, Yorgos Lanthimos received a Best Director nomination and a Best Picture nod for his 2023 film Poor Things. It’s evident that Depp values talent and aspiration to collaborate with visionary director auteurs like Triet, Reijn, and others.
‘Nosferatu’ Star Wants to Work With More Arthouse Talent
Lily-Rose Depp has been highly acclaimed in early reviews for her role in “Nosferatu,” a role many consider overdue given her acting history. After making her screen debut in Kevin Smith’s films, “Tusk” (2014) and “Yoga Hosers” (2016), she went on to take supporting roles in numerous other productions, including the controversial HBO series “The Idol.” Now, in “Nosferatu,” Depp takes center stage, a role originally intended for Anya Taylor-Joy. Her performance is noted as one that fully utilizes her acting abilities, with one critic remarking that she delivers “an extraordinary display of emotional depth and tormented possession.
In a film, an actor’s performance can be considered impressive largely due to the skill of the director managing the camera, and it appears that Robert Eggers was more than capable in this role. Driven by actual horror tales, Director Eggers is someone whom Johnny Depp has long desired to collaborate with, as disclosed in a recent conversation. Furthermore, there are multiple other well-known directors on her wishlist who have recently attracted acclaim for their award-worthy films over the past few years.
