Watch: Bill Skarsgard stalks Lily

On September 30, Focus Features unveiled the trailer for Robert Eggers' adaptation of the classic 1922 vampire film, which is set to hit theaters on December 25. This new version is a reimagining of the original film directed by F.W. Murnau, which was an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula.' The film continues Eggers' exploration of historical themes, following his previous works such as 'The Witch,' 'The Lighthouse,' and 'The Northman.' In this adaptation, Bill Skarsgard takes on the role of Count Orlock, a character originally portrayed by Max Schreck. The narrative centers around Orlock's obsession with Ellen Hutter, played by Lily-Rose Depp, who parallels the Mina Harker character from Stoker's novel. The trailer showcases striking visuals, including Orlock emerging from his coffin aboard a ship and later appearing ominously at Ellen's window, creating a sense of dread and anticipation. The film aims to capture the eerie atmosphere of the original while providing a fresh perspective on the story. Eggers is known for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to evoke historical authenticity, which is expected to enhance the film's narrative depth. As the release date approaches, excitement builds among fans of horror and classic cinema, eager to see how this adaptation will reinterpret a beloved tale of obsession and the supernatural.
