The cast for Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu remake grows more extensive as Aaron Taylor-Johnson officially joins the upcoming horror movie in an undisclosed role. The announcement of his involvement in the movie comes after production on the film officially begins, with filming currently underway in Prague.
While no official details on his role in the upcoming film have been revealed, he rounds out the cast, which features Bill Skarsgård (It), Nicholas Hoult (Renfield), Lily-Rose Depp (Wolf), and Willem Dafoe, who previously played the titular vampire in Shadow of the Vampire, a meta-comedy about the making of the original movie. Additional cast members include Emma Corrin (Lady Chatterley’s Lover), Simon McBurney (Carnival Row), and Ralph Ineson, who previously collaborated with Eggers in The Witch.
Based on the classic 1922 silent horror film, Eggers’ upcoming Nosferatu remake will follow the same premise of a young woman in 19th-century Germany who is stalked by an ancient Transylvanian vampire, bringing untold horror with him. Eggers, best known for critically acclaimed horror movies such as The Witch and The Lighthouse, writes and directs the upcoming project, which serves as a passion project for him. Alongside writing and directing, Eggers also serves as a producer on the film alongside Jeff Robinov, John Graham, Chris Columbus, and Eleanor Columbus.
