Nosferatu: Origin Story Featurette, 2 BTS Images, And 11 New Images
Focus Features is continuing to amp up the marketing for the most unlikely Christmas movie of the year, Nosferatu.
Article Summary
- Focus Features reveals featurette and 13 images for Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, keeping Count Orlok under wraps.
- Nosferatu's Christmas release is unusual, aiming to attract audiences amid a crowded holiday film calendar.
- The film's gothic tale explores obsession between a haunted woman and a menacing vampire.
- Early glowing reviews hint that Nosferatu might gain momentum after the holiday season.
Focus Features continues to hold up their end of the horror bargain by not showing us any of Count Orlok in the marketing for the upcoming Nosferatu. They said they wouldn't show us anything, but it's still surprising to see a studio stick to that. We're in the final weeks before the movie comes out, so they are really starting to market the most unlikely Christmas movie you'll ever see on screen. They released a featurette a couple of days ago where director Robert Eggers talks about his connection to the story of Nosferatu including a stage play adaptation that he directed as a teenager that was black and white and silent. Whoever has a copy of that script needs to make a version of it and let me see it because I want to see how that works at every level. We also have two more behind-the-scenes images and eleven high-quality images as well. Every review for this is looking extremely positive, but is that buzz going to be enough to draw in Christmas Day audiences? This might be a movie that really picks up steam once the New Year starts.
