Announced way back in 2016, David Lee Fisher was directing a new take on the horror classic Nosferatu, with Doug Jones (Hellboy, The Shape of Water) starring as Count Orlok.
Eight years later, the film finally has a title and release date.
Doug Jones stars as the titular Nosferatu in David Lee Fisher’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, a remix of the 1922 original with new actors, dialogue, sound, and musical score.
Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror premieres October 18 on Apple TV+.
This movie is scene-for-scene the same story as the original silent film, but with a new cast and a green screen element for every frame of the movie. “What will be filled in that green screen is a digitally created backdrop from the original film,” Bloody Disgusting has been told.
No, this has been sitting in the shelf for years with no-one interested in releasing it, not until a high profile version was in the pipeline. I bet some people will watch this and think “well this isn’t up to Robert Eggers’ usual standard!”
Crazy. Well, now’s a good time, since people are looking forward to the Defoe movie and will be clicking on it thinking that’s it! LOL.
