Nicholas Hoult Worked With 5,000 “Incontinent Rats” On ‘Nosferatu’: “Kinda Stinky”


In Robert Eggers' remake of 'Nosferatu', Nicholas Hoult had to wade through 5,000 trained rats.

Hoult previously opened up to Deadline about the experience with his tiny co-stars, which also covered Count Orlok ( Bill Skarsgård) during one scene of the vampire in a sarcophagus. Eggers also recalled working with the vermin on his remake of the 1922 German vampire silent film, noting, “A great deal of the rats were trained to enter on cue. Premiering Dec. 25 in U.S. theaters, Nosferatu stars Skarsgård as an ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks a haunted young woman ( Lily-Rose Depp) that becomes mysteriously obsessed with the creature.
