Announced back in 2016, David Lee Fisher was set to direct a new take on the horror classic Nosferatu, with Doug Jones (Hellboy, The Shape of Water) set to star as Count Orlok.
The film was described as a “remix” of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 classic, using “a mixture of live-action combined with colorized digital backgrounds recreated from the original film.”
It’s been a few years since we’ve heard so much as a peep about the project, to the point that we had been wondering if it ever even found its way in front of the cameras.
But it seems it did, as Jones has taken to Twitter this week to provide an update. “Thank you for your patience,” the actor began the tweet, sharing a photo from the set of the film.
“I’m told visual effects, combining old and new, are only a couple shots from completion, and the sound design/musical score is underway,” Jones continued. “Stay tuned!!”
Check out photos of Jones as Nosferatu below, shared as part of the 2018 Kickstarter.
