‘Nosferatu’ – Robert Eggers Remake Returns to Life with Bill Skarsgård and Lily-Rose Depp

Eggers (The Witch, The Northman) is directing and he also wrote the script.
F.W. Murnau directed the original 1922 version of Nosferatu, while fellow German filmmaker Werner Herzog notably directed his own version of the classic tale back in 1979.
