Fans will still have to wait to see Bill Skarsgård in full character.
From the mind of Robert Eggers comes a new gothic thriller, Nosferatu, and fans have finally been given a first look at the highly anticipated movie with the release of a trailer.
Written and directed by Eggers, Nosferatu is based on the 1922 film of the same, which follows a vampire who preys on the wife of his estate agent.
The new trailer sees Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter, praying. “Come to me,” she says with tears rolling down her face before a hidden assailant grabs her by the throat.
The eerie trailer shows off the movie’s all-star cast, including Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Emma Corrin.

The horror film will see Bill Skarsgård play the mysterious vampire, but a full look at Count Orlok is yet to be revealed, with only the back of the actor being seen throughout the trailer.
“It was like conjuring pure evil,” Skarsgård told Esquire about tapping into the role. “It took a while for me to shake off the demon that had been conjured inside of me.”
