Anna Taylor-Joy Reunites With Robert Eggers For His Retelling Of ‘Nosferatu’

Anna Taylor-Joy made her feature acting debut in Robert Eggers‘ The Witch before going on to starring in many high-profile movies such as The Queen’s Gambit. Now, Taylor-Joy is reuniting with the incredible director for his remake of the iconic 1922 vampire film Nosferatu. The original Nosferatu (there was a remake in 1979) was directed by F.W. Murnau and follows vampire Count Orlok who aims to buy a house in Germany. The vampire soon falls in love with the wife of his real estate agent. That may sound familiar, the silent film is an unofficial retelling of Bram Stoker’s iconic novel Dracula. Anna Taylor-Joy is also starring in Eggers’ upcoming project The Northman that will also star Bill Skarsgård, Ethan Hawke, Björk, Nicole Kidman, and Willem Defoe who appeared in Eggers’ The Lighthouse.

Things start of hot n’ heavy in the new bite-sized monster morsel from director Wesley Mellott and co-writers Chloe Carroll, Elysia! As is the way of many a fang bang fright flick we get a lil’ of that ol’ Sapphic sensualness that scores high marks from ladies from the steno pool aged 24 – 45… and you lascivious lot as well, go on admit it! Anyway, vampire vixen Molly (the aforementioned Carroll) turns the comely (and eponymous) Elysia (Rachel Donahue) into one of her own, and they begin a life together that spans decades without either of them aging a single second… unlike Molly’s son who is now a real fossil of a geezer lying upon his deathbed.
