Come on guys and girls, fans of the high brow horror movies, share with me the hype and let me know your thoughts in the comments below please. Like and subscribe if you are feeling kind and let's prepare ourselves for a trailer of Nosferatu pretty soon hopefully. Take care and stay entertained ;)
I watched Lighthouse at the cinema and the whole crowd seemed completely immersed . It was like a fever dream, you feel safe in one moment, then terror in the next, then confusion and then safe again, never quite sure what is gonna happen next. Dafoe really is a versatile actor, and Pattinson's performance was a nice surprise. Looking forward to hear more on Nosferatu.
Thanks buddy and yes it feels good to have that feeling back. I'm gonna start work in another video providing details on the upcoming Frankenstein film that in my opinion could be in the same vein and style as Nosferatu. That will be another thing to look forward to I promise 👌
Hey Dude. Happy New Year from Canada! I am just as hyped as you in anticipation of this film. Every year there's one movie that rises to the top of my can't wait list. It was Oppenheimer for 2023 and now it's Nosferatu. Like you said Egger's brings a distinctive authenticity and realistic believability to his creations so, I really do expect it to be a Gothic horror unlike any other. Looking forward to further updates from you as it' is still a year away, dang it! Cheers.
Hello Mark, good to hear from you again my friend. Glad you also loved Oppenheimer, was a great film. Even though I love Nolan, I still feel surprised by his films almost like I should know his formula by now and he keeps bringing something new. Thanks for the kind words and yeah, I'll do my best to imform.
@@maitrekano Ohh Displate. I keep thinking about getting those of my fav rock star Eddie Van Halen. Yes, i'll keep you informed and thanks for your support. I have friends from sweden, great guys. One lives in Gothenburg. Take care buddy
Yeah because of the strikes among other things, the movie is either late this year or possibly gets pushed into next yeah worst case. I think it will be a fall release with a trailer in the next 4-5 months I hope. I don't mind the wait but would love a trailer soon 👍
"Crazy Vampire Hunter" had the same discomfort for me, but not because I associated it with action movies, more like because the "crazy vampire hunter" in the original Nosferatu was more expository than anything else: he stood around and explained stuff once in a while, but never really got a crack at the creature. If he's gonna hound Orlok around the movie, it's gonna bring a big and unwelcome shadow distracting from what should be the main action. Also it primes it for my fear that Lily Rose is gonna wanna fuck the monster again, too.
I think he's less a "mad vampire hunter" than he is a mad student of the occult that leads him to have the knowledge needed to hunt this particular vampire
You maybe right. No doubt it will be an obsession for him which might give the appearance of madness. I think he's a little bit mad in real life too, so great casting either way 😉
Just found your channel, Dude. HUGE Robert Eggers fan here, and this has me really excited! I missed "The Witch" in movie theaters, but have watched it several times in the dark alone. I have no doubt this will be absolutely brilliant. I'm crazy about him because of his attention to detail & strict period aesthetic & wish there were more of his movies to watch. I can't see him doing insipid "vampire hunter" schtick. For no good reason I haven't watched "The Northman", but am settling in do it right now. Also excited for Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein (high hopes, anyway.... someone always does something really stupid and "interpretive" with a character or the story, it seems with Frankie), and for selfish reasons - Maggie Gyllenhaal's Bride of Frankenstein that I just did 4 days on, but can't say anything about! It's going to be nuts - not really anything like this, but a unique interpretation. Cheers!
Glad to hear you share my passion for his unique ability to create authentic period piece films with his trait unsettling tones. The Northman was maybe my least favourite film of his but still a good watch but damn, I hadn't heard of the upcoming Bride of Frankenstein film which could be fun. I also forgot that Guillermo del Toro was making Frankenstein until you said. I just hope it weighs more on the side of horror and slightly less of his fantastical and fairy tale approach, but who am I to judge, he's a genius haha!. Been a while since I made a vid on Nosferatu so hopefully there is some new info and maybe a trailer soon. Thanks buddy 👍
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE It's set in 1936 & has very contemporary social commentary... I'm reserving judgement until it comes out. I'm crazy about Maggie Gyllenhaal & always thought she might be a cool person & she actually is. Christian Bale is Frank & Jessie Buckley is the Bride (she's an amazing actress.). I like suspenseful intelligent "horror", so I'll keep an eye on your recommendations.
@@kylepwagner4853 Bale reuniting with Maggie, excellent 👍 Their scenes were brief in Dark Knight but it sounds great so I'll be on the lookout for that.
I just looked it up haha. I wouldn't be surprised if Eggers has taken inspiration from a multitude of different sources and I do see what you mean now. Is it any good the film?
I am from Germany, as far as I know the german trailer isn't even out yet. I just came upon the trailer on coincidence. I really wanna watch this movie, in english tho. In my opinion german dub usually isn't good, so I'll wait patiently!
I can understand if the dubbing is bad then the original language is always best of course. There are no trailers out yet but I believe we may get something in the next 2-3 months I hope. There are probably only fan made trailers confusing people so far. Greetings to you in Germany by the way 😃
Let's not forget Dafoe was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the 2000 indie film SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE about a fictionalized making of NOSFERATU. As the great Camille Paglia says, "the vampire...dominates the plane of eye contact. High Gothic is abstract and ceremonious. Evil has become world-weary, hierarchical glamour. There is no bestiality. The theme is eroticized western power, the burden of history. The Hunger (1983) comes close to being a masterpiece of this genre but is ruined by horrendous errors, as when the regal Catherine Deneuve is made to crawl around on all fours, slavering over cut throats. Please. Butchery is not the point of vampirism. Sex-domination and submission-is. Gothic horror must be moderated by Apollonian discipline, or it turns into gross buffoonery." This is why the greatest vampire scene in the last 92 years is the hypnotic disco ball kissing scene from A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT. Eggers has proved he can create these scenes of slow haunting power like the baby sacrifice in THE WITCH and that movie's final scene of the coven in the woods. There's nothing creepier than Count Orlock but he can be ruined as the made-for-TV "Salem's Lot" showed. I very much suspect we'll be ok with Eggers, who seems very visual and very adept at the slow burn and less interested in Hammer Horror style butchery. And he is the producer here as well.
Salem's Lot started with promise but then became very trivial quite rapidly. You also just reminded me that I absolutely have to sit down soon and watch Shadow of the vampire. I'm with you on the promise that Eggers may be able to do his thing and elevate this film above the usual tropes and clichés we always see with vampire films. I sense that this project is what he has been gearing towards for some time now.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I actually love Salem's Lot as a long-lost miniseries from the TV land I grew up in and I absolutely love James Mason no matter how old he is. The intro of Mr. Barlow (the Nosferatu rip) in the kitchen and the jail are two jump scenes for the ages. Again tho... this is antithetical to the Gothic decorum you want. Eggers said he shot NOSFERATU when was 17 or something, which I believe as it's one of those films along w/ SUNRISE in the beginning of those big film history books they used to sell in bookstores. But Count Orlock is just so alien-looking. It's easy to run w/ a smooth operator/handsome Count Dracula but this guy looks like a giant man-rat. Eerie seduction has to be everything. There is nothing horrific in Christopher Lee hypnotically seducing some buxom Hammer wench, there is horror in this thing doing it. Legosi might move around among armadillos in the coffin scene of DRACULA (they shot in California) but Orlock looks like he belongs among nocturnal things. Read the incredible "THE WATCHERS" by the Irish neo-Gothic novelist A. M. Shine, he's like one of those things.
In fact, it would be ridiculous to see Dafoe in CGI, somersaulting through the air! I believe the most appropriate term for this "vampire hunter" is paranormal investigator, not an established profession, but someone knowledgeable about the occult...
I agree. An early 19th century version of a paranormal investigator as you say. Experience and wisdom are their only weapons, otherwise he should have no defence against such a creature so the film stays mature. Certainly no somersaulting for sure, maybe a hop and a skip tops ;)
Honestly we Only need DeFoe as the main character Count Orlok & Ineson as Hutter (the protagonist) & the movie will be perfect regardless but as far as everyone else in this film everyone else might be amazing but im not gonna bet on it!!!! Yes Heath Ledger killed it as the Joker & i was one of these ppl to say he would be 🗑️ so hopefully im wrong again but thats exactly why i don't want Sarsgard to be Count Orlock because i actually want to be told wrong so this can be better than expected!!!!! Ppl are so dumb that they constantly think that they need to always be right about shit but thats never as awarding as it is when ur actually wrong ❤
Well said buddy. Your first point about the character switching of Hutter and Orlock of course would be amazing. I would never argue with that. As for Skarsgard, he's a worthy actor and I get your point but with risks sometimes come great rewards, so we'll see. I'm hoping for the best. I'm just making another vid about the recent leaks of Alien Romulus and trust me when I say this. Nosferatu is where you wanna hedge your bets as the better movie haha
@@EzeICE Oh yes, with the scythe tool. Yeah that was a haunting and well made film. Wish they continued with that story but it probably wouldn't have worked as many sequels fall into ruin.
Hold on, hold on, wait. This is my first time on this channel, so maybe you've mentioned before, but how do you make a video centered around a photo of Willem Dafoe in a Nosferatu remake, without mentioning that one time when he was in a film that won the Bram Stoker award for best screenplay. Maybe the most unique vampire film ever, and definitely my favorite, in large part because of Dafoe, who won 4 out of 6 nominations for best supporting actor (the Oscar went to DelTorro) for his cold, heartbreaking, and sometimes hilarious performance as the mysterious Max Schrek, the ultimate method actor who only appears on set in full makeup and character as Count Orlock. Maybe nobody's mentioned it because you've all seen it a bazillion times, and are like, "DUH, dude," but just in case, I'll say that yes, the film is VERY loosely based on the true story about the filming of Nosferatu and not another word. If you have not seen it, you have to do so. Now! Go...
It was my least favourite Eggers film and I wasn't a fan of some of the more trippy scenes but I still liked it. I mean, there are Hollywood films and there are Hollywood films. If you compare The Northman to most mainstream movies, I'd say it was pretty fine imo.
Yeah Definitely I agree but it was obvious eggers didn’t have autonomy on the script. I actually re-edited it, cutting out all the bullshit to about 2 hours of quality film.
@@ludvigmagnusson6834 oh really? Yeah I bet you could do that with many films. I guess it shows the percentage of a film that ultimately has to fall in line with studio market research etc. what the studio heads believe will make them money sadly.
Wierd take on the vampire hunter wording. It's just the same type of role(Van Helsing) that Anthony Hopkins played in Bram Stoker's Dracula. The Francis Ford version is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Yes that was an incredible film. I remember watching it when I was young and being blown away by how haunting it was. The film had this kind of antique quality to it and great atmosphere. You reminded me that i have to watch it again soon. I guess what I meant was, I just don't want too much of the comedic vampire hunter with overblown action scenes but I hardly think that will be the case in this film, much like it in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
hehe, those movies were fun of course but I guess I firmly separate these different styles of film in my head and I expect Nosferatu to be the Nolan level of vampire films. Like I said in the vid, I loved Underworld but It would be awkwardly out of place to have those scenes in a Robert Eggers vampire film. Also would make me laugh of any surviving relatives of Bram Stoker tried to file a law suit against the studio for this picture... ;)
The highest hopes for a movie I've had in many years. My main concern is that political correctness will yet again rear its ugly head and compromise what could be a phenomenal remake and movie experience.
I suppose the bigger Eggers gets the more pressure he may have to fulfil those studio tick boxes so I share your anxiety on that. However, look at the blowback Disney has had recently, so maybe we are getting close to a stage where enough is enough. So far at least, Eggers hasn't made a woke film. Fingers crossed buddy.
Yes, I seem to have noticed a (slight) shift away from wokeness as well although it's too early to tell. And, yes, he's managed to resist so far but you may well be right, the bigger he gets the more pressure he'll be under to tick certain boxes. Time will tell. Fingers crossed, indeed!
I mean it’s not automatically a bad thing to be more politically correct but Eggers likes to show very honest and accurate portrayals of history so we don’t really have anything to worry about unless he starts romanticizing the messed up stuff. And political correctness as well as what some call hollywoodization or sanitation is kinda like POTC where our main pirates aren’t as brutal as they were irl or like how Greek gods tend to be shown as heroic unless they’re a villain when they’re pretty messed up in the myths. That’s all usually if it’s done well in a fun way but it can also be way too sanitized and lame. Especially if they’re advertising it as an accurate history piece. Hell, Shrek is literally about body positivity and shit like that and Disney wanted to move away from ugly women as evil villains cuz they got shit for it (kinda understandable) but then there’s the point where it’s like how the guy who made age ratings didn’t even want people to kiss, bleed, fight, show too much skin, or literally anything in movies. It’s just lame and unnecessarily limits the art they wanna make. Or can be horribly misguided and become the opposite of politically correct and become bigoted just cuz of an overcorrection or someone pretending to be progressive. Like how some people think feminism is just being antagonistic towards men when it’s supposed to be equality. Like imagine if Richard Watterson or any dumb dad trope wasn’t just a funny joke and was meant to be a lesson on how dads just are like this
I always felt Stephen Merchant looks more like nosferatu than any other actor. He has the right stature and looks to pull out this character. People from Hollywood always cast the same actor in every role timothee chalamet, austin butler, Bill Skarsgård - I see them in every movie now!
A very good point that I've thought about in the past. Merchant was phenomenal in Logan as a character with similar makeup as to what you might expect in Nosferatu. He was very surprising in that film imo. On the other hand I don't mind type casting if it's someone like Kurt Russel in a western haha, that guy was born a cowboy.
This looks horrible. The only remake worth being made was the 1979 version(s) that Herzog did. They had a certain uncanny feeling to them, especially with the music. They were very impressionistic, if you think about it. Remakes today are like regurgitated vomit. Worthless. Ps. I say "Version(s)" because the double disc DVD has the same exact film twice, in two different languages.
Well let's hold out until we get a trailer at least. I have faith in Eggers but that's not to say he isn't capable of making a bad film, I just hope it isn't this one.
You know what? I never saw those movies but I realise they have a cult following. I'd feel a fraud if I watched it now a pretended to share the nostalgia haha.
@@givenchymamajama3859 Thanks, I will. I plan when I have some time to review these classic films and share my thoughts from the perspective of having missing out back in the day and a reaction to seeing it for the first time now etc. Take care dude.
@@givenchymamajama3859 I also loved Interview with the Vampire because it had more of a serious tone but had a bit of a shock with the recent series they did of it. They made everyone gay of course 🤔

I am already disappointed. The trailer gave the impression it was going to be filmed in B/W.
@@mananimal3644 There is a trailer for Noferatu?
I loved Dafoe as Max Schreck in “Shadow of the Vampire”.
I don't think there's anyone out there that could find a reason for Dafoe not to be in this film 👍
I watched Lighthouse at the cinema and the whole crowd seemed completely immersed . It was like a fever dream, you feel safe in one moment, then terror in the next, then confusion and then safe again, never quite sure what is gonna happen next. Dafoe really is a versatile actor, and Pattinson's performance was a nice surprise. Looking forward to hear more on Nosferatu.
I completely agree Cake. I imagine Nosferatu will have similar moments or relief but then sheer terror. I really hope it is scary in a classic sense.
SO hyped for this movie!
Same here my man
You must have never seen the original or the 1979 remake. This looks like utter crap.
Can't wait for this!
Feels so rare to get a film of this calibre.
Man I haven’t been this excited for a movie in YEARS. Great video

Also would make me laugh of any surviving relatives of Bram Stoker tried to file a law suit against the studio for this picture... ;)
The highest hopes for a movie I've had in many years. My main concern is that political correctness will yet again rear its ugly head and compromise what could be a phenomenal remake and movie experience.
I suppose the bigger Eggers gets the more pressure he may have to fulfil those studio tick boxes so I share your anxiety on that. However, look at the blowback Disney has had recently, so maybe we are getting close to a stage where enough is enough. So far at least, Eggers hasn't made a woke film. Fingers crossed buddy.
Yes, I seem to have noticed a (slight) shift away from wokeness as well although it's too early to tell. And, yes, he's managed to resist so far but you may well be right, the bigger he gets the more pressure he'll be under to tick certain boxes. Time will tell. Fingers crossed, indeed!
Get over yourself man
I mean it’s not automatically a bad thing to be more politically correct but Eggers likes to show very honest and accurate portrayals of history so we don’t really have anything to worry about unless he starts romanticizing the messed up stuff. And political correctness as well as what some call hollywoodization or sanitation is kinda like POTC where our main pirates aren’t as brutal as they were irl or like how Greek gods tend to be shown as heroic unless they’re a villain when they’re pretty messed up in the myths. That’s all usually if it’s done well in a fun way but it can also be way too sanitized and lame. Especially if they’re advertising it as an accurate history piece. Hell, Shrek is literally about body positivity and shit like that and Disney wanted to move away from ugly women as evil villains cuz they got shit for it (kinda understandable) but then there’s the point where it’s like how the guy who made age ratings didn’t even want people to kiss, bleed, fight, show too much skin, or literally anything in movies. It’s just lame and unnecessarily limits the art they wanna make. Or can be horribly misguided and become the opposite of politically correct and become bigoted just cuz of an overcorrection or someone pretending to be progressive. Like how some people think feminism is just being antagonistic towards men when it’s supposed to be equality. Like imagine if Richard Watterson or any dumb dad trope wasn’t just a funny joke and was meant to be a lesson on how dads just are like this
I always felt Stephen Merchant looks more like nosferatu than any other actor. He has the right stature and looks to pull out this character. People from Hollywood always cast the same actor in every role timothee chalamet, austin butler, Bill Skarsgård - I see them in every movie now!
A very good point that I've thought about in the past. Merchant was phenomenal in Logan as a character with similar makeup as to what you might expect in Nosferatu. He was very surprising in that film imo. On the other hand I don't mind type casting if it's someone like Kurt Russel in a western haha, that guy was born a cowboy.
This looks horrible. The only remake worth being made was the 1979 version(s) that Herzog did. They had a certain uncanny feeling to them, especially with the music. They were very impressionistic, if you think about it. Remakes today are like regurgitated vomit. Worthless.
Ps. I say "Version(s)" because the double disc DVD has the same exact film twice, in two different languages.
Well let's hold out until we get a trailer at least. I have faith in Eggers but that's not to say he isn't capable of making a bad film, I just hope it isn't this one.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Fingers crossed.
Damn bro you didn’t like blade? Excited for nosferatu though!
You know what? I never saw those movies but I realise they have a cult following. I'd feel a fraud if I watched it now a pretended to share the nostalgia haha.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE you should check out the blade movies bro I’d love to hear about what you think of it. Especially the first two
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE it’s one of the few vampire slayer franchises I love
@@givenchymamajama3859 Thanks, I will. I plan when I have some time to review these classic films and share my thoughts from the perspective of having missing out back in the day and a reaction to seeing it for the first time now etc. Take care dude.
@@givenchymamajama3859 I also loved Interview with the Vampire because it had more of a serious tone but had a bit of a shock with the recent series they did of it. They made everyone gay of course 🤔
