Remaking the immortal silent horror classic, the director of "The Witch" and "The Lighthouse" is finally ready to share his longtime passion project.

Focus Features' official synopsis of Nosferatu reads: "Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake."

This dark, feral concept of the prince of darkness — the foul-smelling, putrescent incarnation of death, literally rotting and bringing with it vermin, plague and pestilence — is the bedrock of Robert Eggers’ very modern update.
