Bill Skarsgård drops pounds for Nosferatu shocker

Dec 07, 2023 12:16 PM

Fans anticipating the Nosferatu remake can look forward to a groundbreaking performance by Bill Skarsgård, who is said to have undergone an extreme physical transformation for the role of Count Orlok. The film is directed by Robert Eggers, known for his work on other critically acclaimed movies like The Witch and The Lighthouse. Skarsgård, renowned for his portrayal of Pennywise in the It films, has evidently taken his role seriously, even losing a significant amount of weight to embody the vampiric character authentically.

His commitment extends to altering his voice as well, collaborating with an opera coach to lower its tone dramatically, a change so profound that audiences may think it's the result of digital manipulation. Set to release on Christmas Day 2024, Nosferatu is still in post-production, with fans eagerly anticipating a teaser trailer. Alongside Skarsgård, Nosferatu boasts an impressive cast, including names like Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe, promising an enticing revival of the 1922 horror classic.

When will the remake of Nosferatu be available for audiences to watch?

The Nosferatu remake is expected to hit the screens on December 25, 2024.

With Robert Eggers at the helm, blending his eerie cinematic style with a stellar cast, this Nosferatu remake is shaping up to be a deliciously dark stocking stuffer for Christmas 2024.
