‘Nosferatu’ Exclusive: Writer-Director Robert Eggers, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult & Cast Reveal The Devil In The Detail, From Demonic Possession To 5000 Trained Rats


'Nosferatu' movie global exclusive: Writer-director Robert Eggers, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult and cast reveal the devil in the detail.

In Stoker’s novel, Count Dracula is subtly described as a “tall old man, clean shaven, save for a long white mustache and clad in black from head to foot, without a single speck of color about him anywhere.” In Murnau’s Nosferatu, however, Schreck appears as a walking nightmare —a terrifying, skeletal creature with two sharp, pointed teeth, bat-like ears and claws for hands. As an expert on the occult and mysticism, Von Franz is the only character who truly understands the strange psychic connection between Count Orlok and Depp’s Ellen, which, though absent from the original Nosferatu, is a major plot point in Eggers’ film.
