Experience a chilling remake of Nosferatu. Universal Pictures unveils haunting character and theatrical posters, building anticipation for the UK release on New Year’s Day.
Halloween is the perfect time for a good scare, and Universal Pictures is ready to deliver. The studio has just released a series of haunting new character posters for Robert Eggers’ remake of Nosferatu. With the film set to emerge from the shadows on New Year’s Day in the UK, this marketing push is designed to build excitement, and these posters are a fantastic way to turn up the hype. If the character posters weren’t enough, a fresh theatrical poster has just been revealed, showcasing the iconic vampire draped in the silken curtains seen in the recent trailer.
The film’s original version was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula, which led to a court ruling that required the destruction of all existing copies. Fortunately, some prints managed to survive. Despite the controversy surrounding its release, the film has since earned its place as a true classic, significantly influencing the horror genre. Fast forward one hundred and two years and Robert Eggers is set to bring us back to the original vampire. Check out the new posters below for a sneak peek!
THEATRICAL POSTER
Thankfully, the poster keeps the chilling reveal of Count Orlock in the dark for now, which works in our favor. Reuniting us with Count Orlock is a considerable undertaking. So, the writer/director has enlisted his regular collaborator, Bill Skarsgård, to portray Orlock. Eggers has also assembled a stellar cast for the film, including Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe. Let’s get a better look at these characters below.
