Film Constellation is launching international sales on “About a Hero,” directed by Piotr Winiewicz, an AI-driven murder mystery set to open the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA). Variety premieres the film’s teaser here.

The film is an adaptation of a script co-written by an AI trained on Werner Herzog’s body of work, with his permission. Winiewicz was inspired by a quote from Herzog himself stating: “A computer will not create a film as good as mine in 4,500 years.” The result is a fictional narrative that is ironically self-reflective, interlaced with a collection of interviews with artists, philosophers and scientists reflecting on the notion of originality, authenticity, immortality and soul in the age of AI.

When a local factory worker named Dorem Clery dies under mysterious circumstances, the film’s narrator, Werner Herzog, travels to Getunkirchenburg to investigate his perplexing death. But Herzog is not who he seems,...

The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here) is set to reach theatres on Wednesday, December 25th – but the marketing team behind the film’s Christmas release has decided to celebrate Halloween by unveiling a batch of character posters! You can check them out at the bottom of this article.

An unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the original Nosferatu has the following synopsis: In this highly influential silent horror film, the mysterious Count Orlok (Max Schreck) summons Thomas Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) to his remote Transylvanian castle in the mountains. The eerie Orlok seeks to buy a house near Hutter and his wife, Ellen (Greta Schroeder). After Orlok reveals his vampire nature, Hutter struggles to escape the castle, knowing that Ellen is in grave danger. Meanwhile Orlok’s servant, Knock (Alexander Granach), prepares for...

We are just two months away from the release of one of the most anticipated horror movies of the year, with director Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) resurrecting the horror classic Nosferatu this coming holiday season with a brand new movie from Focus Features.

Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film, whose appearance still remains hidden in a new batch of Nosferatu character posters debuted by IGN this morning.

The five character posters instead spotlight stars Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, Willem Dafoe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp, and you can check them out below.

Nosferatu will release in theaters on December 25, 2024.

“Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”

Eggers directs and he wrote the script. Eggers also serves as a producer alongside Chris Columbus,...

What does Count Orlok and his damp, dark castle smell like? Heretic Parfum and perfumer Douglas Little have teamed up with Focus Features to uncover just that with a limited edition scent celebrating the release of Nosferatu this December.

Heretic Parfum’s Nosferatu is available starting tomorrow, Thursday, October 31 on Heretic Parfum’s website for $125.

The limited edition scent is described as, “cold, pale and pellucid, the fragrance evokes the uneasy chill of encountering an apparition.”

“A scent as atmospheric as the film, the perfume transports the wearer into the dark spaces inhabited by Count Orlok himself. The Eau de macabre opens with top notes of lilac and ambrette seed that fall into a heart chord of violet, orris root and petrichor. The mysterious dry-down is woven around vegan ambergris and Oud absolute.”

The cap of each 30ml bottle is engraved with Count Orlok’s sigil and comes packaged in...

As part of Marvel Television's 2025 slate preview, we have a first look at Wonder Man ahead of its release on Disney+ next December.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is playing Simon Williams and, in this brief preview, we discover that he's an actor auditioning for the lead role in a movie called "Wonder Man."

Marvel Studios is clearly putting a different spin on the Avenger here and we'd imagine he'll somehow acquire powers during this story...unless he already has them, of course. Either way, this misadventure is something Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Sir Ben Kingsley appears to be at the centre of as the returning Trevor Slattery.

Wonder Man may be a standalone story about Simon pretending to be the hero he's playing on screen but given how powerful the character is in the comics,...

Spooky season is here, which means it’s time for movies featuring all manner of ghouls, creeps, and monsters. And there may be no monster more famous than Count Dracula, the blood-sucking vampire introduced in Bram Stoker’s gothic horror novel Dracula. He’s appeared onscreen countless times in various iterations – far too many to list here. But here are a few notable Dracula adaptations to sink your teeth into this Halloween.

Vampires have fascinated filmmakers since the early days of cinema. Director F.W. Murnau’s 1922 Nosferatu is an unauthorized adaptation of Dracula. The movie was nearly lost to history when all copies were ordered destroyed after Stoker’s widow sued for copyright infringement. But a print survived, and the movie has gone on to become an influential classic. (The Witch director Robert Eggers’ remake is due out later this year.

Nominations voting is from January 8-12, 2025, with official Oscar nominations announced January 17, 2025. Final voting is February 11-18, 2025. And finally, the 97th Oscars telecast will be broadcast on Sunday, March 2 and air live on ABC at 7 p.m. Et/ 4 p.m. Pt.

As we enter the fall/holiday season, “Wicked” (Universal) and “Gladiator II” (Paramount) are gathering early buzz for Best Costume Design. Other standouts include “Conclave” (Focus Features), “Emilia Pérez” (Netflix), “Blitz” (Apple TV+), and “Maria” (Netflix). Still to come are the highly anticipated “Nosferatu” (Focus Features), and “A Complete Unknown” (Searchlight Pictures). Also in the running, of course, is “Dune: Part Two” (Warner Bros.).

With The Last Voyage of the Demeter now on home video, Dracula is once again on everyone’s mind. In it, Javier Botet plays a horrific version of the count that’s far removed from the recent, classic-style version played by Nicolas Cage in Renfield. How will he stack up against some of the best versions of the fanged Count? First, we must come up with our list of the Best Dracula Actors!

C​hristian Camargo – Penny Dreadful (2016)

W​hile Universal was trying to figure out how to create their Dark Universe, over on Showtime, Penny Dreadful was already doing a fantastic job beating them to the punch. The series pulled together literary versions of Frankenstein’s monster, the wolfman, Dorian Gray, and eventually Dracula himself. Christian Camargo played Dr. Alexander Sweet in Season Three, who begins to seduce Eva Green’s Vanessa Ives. It is revealed later that this doctor is,...

For over 100 years now, Nosferatu has been the ultimate cinematic vampire – or, ‘vampyr’, if you want to go really old-school – story. The crooked shadow of Fw Murnau's 1922 film still looms large over the genre, later reimagined by Werner Herzog in his 1979 Nosferatu. Even the making of Nosferatu still has its fangs in people, as fictionalised in 2000’s Shadow Of The Vampire, in which Willem Dafoe’s Max Schrek – the actor who played Count Orlok – turns out to actually be a vampire. All of which to say, Robert Eggers has big shoes to fill with his 2024 take on Nosferatu – conjuring a full-blooded vision of the classic story in all its gothic terror.

When it came to finding real-life locations befitting an ancient vampire’s lair, it was impossible not to reconnect with Nosferatu history. The gatehouse and courtyard of Count Orlok’s gaff in Eggers film was shot at Pernštejn...

Robert Eggers, the modern master of gothic horror, is at long last bringing his deep-and-dark passion project to theaters this, uh, Christmas!

The notion of remaking an all-time classic like F.W. Murnau's "Nosferatu" might sound utterly mad, but this kind of risk-taking is what we've come to expect from the man who gave us "The Witch," "The Lighthouse" and "The Northman." Eggers is a conjurer. He can tell a good, tight story, but you go to his movies to be seduced by whatever spell he's casting. And when it comes to "Nosferatu," judging from the spooky trailer it looks like we'll be getting a big ol' dollop of dread.

Authenticity is a key to Eggers approach, which is why he loves to shoot out in the elements as much as possible. With "Nosferatu," he's taking this commitment to tactile cinema further than many filmmakers have gone before -- specifically,...

After stirring much controversy with his screenplay for Larry Clark’s Kids, Harmony Korine doubled down on his unsparing view of down-and-out youth with his 1997 feature directorial debut, Gummo. Set in Xenia, Ohio, but shot in the derelict outskirts of Korine’s childhood hometown of Nashville, the film depicts the corners of America that go neglected to the point of ruin. Even the setting of Xenia is telling: Gummo takes place in the present, but the opening narration by Solomon (Jacob Reynolds) focuses on the massive 1974 tornado that devastated the town, and one gets the sense from images of dilapidated buildings and masses of junk littering yards and streets that the area never recovered.

Deliberately eschewing a linear narrative that might have brought a larger thematic structure to the film, Korine instead arranges Gummo as a series of vignettes that allows for perspective to switch between characters like a baton.

Back in 2015, it was announced that The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers (who was, at that time, had only made The Witch) was planning to remake F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here). It took Eggers several years to get to Nosferatu, though, and we’ll finally have the chance to see his take on the concept when his movie reaches theatres on Wednesday, December 25th. About eight and half months after Eggers’ Nosferatu was first announced, we heard that filming had begun on a separate Nosferatu remake. Or, as the director referred to it, a remix. That was David Lee Fisher’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror… and that movie has now made its way out into the world! Fisher’s movie is available for purchase on Prime Video, going for the price of $4.99. It will also be released through Apple TV tomorrow,...

Named “The Netflix for Indie Film” by The Wall Street Journal, Fandor’s goal is to preserve film art and culture.

I love blockbusters as much as the next guy (probably more!), but sometimes it’s nice to break out of the mainstream and watch something a little more elevated. If you’re a cinephile who seeks substance over blockbusters, Fandor might be just what you’re looking for.

Specializing in indie films, international cinema, documentaries, and classic movies, Fandor gives viewers a curated experience for film buffs who appreciate the artistry and diversity most larger platforms don’t offer. With films from acclaimed directors and hidden gems from around the world, it differentiates itself from services like The Criterion Channel and Kanopy by offering a broader range of indie-focused content. Whether you’re into arthouse films or hard-to-find international flicks, Fandor promises a unique viewing experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Gummo, spine #1238, will release in the Criterion Collection on October 22, 2024.

Outside of Gummo and Spring Breakers I’ve not seen any of Harmony Korine’s filmography. Based on those two films I’d come to the conclusion that his vision and style of filmmaking didn’t align with the types of films I enjoy. Despite my negative first reaction to Gummo, which I watched in 2004 at the age of seventeen, I’ve never forgotten the movie and what a strange viewing experience it was. Now that I’m in my thirties and with the Criterion Collection releasing a brand new 4K transfer, it seemed like the perfect time to revisit it and see if my feelings had changed.

Vienna-based sales agency Filmdelights has boarded world sales on Carmen Trocker’s Personale, which was recently selected for International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).

Personale depicts a housekeeping team at a hotel in the Italian Dolomites mountains, exploring their movements, gestures, paths and processes.

The film is produced by Carmen Trocker and Ronny Trocker for Italy’s Bagarrefilm and Ralph Wieser for Austria’s Mischief Film, in collaboration with Albolina Film.

It is a feature debut for Italian filmmaker Trocker, who is based in Berlin after studying at the city’s Deutsche Film-und Fernsehakademie.

The International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam — known globally as IDFA — has revealed its 2024 opening night and competition films coming this November. The 37th edition kicks off with Piotr Winiewicz’s “About a Hero” featuring Vicky Krieps and the filmography of Werner Herzog.

Per the festival, “The film presents a bold exploration into largely uncharted territories of artificial intelligence — reflecting on questions of authenticity and our understanding of what is real. With Werner Herzog’s permission, Winiewicz sets out to challenge Herzog’s assertion that ‘a computer won’t be able to create a film as good as mine for at least another 4,500 years.’ In a tantalizing experiment, Winiewicz trained an AI system on Herzog’s oeuvre and asked it to generate a screenplay. The result is a disturbing search for the soul — of human beings and of creative work.”

That assertion came from Herzog’s 2016 documentary “Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World,...

The International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam will open with the world premiere of Piotr Winiewicz’s “About a Hero,” the festival revealed Tuesday. IDFA also announced the main competition lineups for the 37th edition, which takes place in Amsterdam from Nov. 14 to 24.

Newly unveiled selections include the Envision and International Competitions, the entire IDFA DocLab program, and the Luminous and Frontlight sections, as well as the nominations for all cross-section awards.

The IDFA official selection of more than 250 titles is now complete.

IDFA’s artistic director, Orwa Nyrabia, said: “The IDFA 2024 program is exceptional in quality and in range. Regrettably with fewer African films than we hoped for, but overall with a wide representation of our planet and the many different humans on it. The diversity of artistic tendencies is staggering. The program introduces some of the most beautiful works of recent years, including a few instant classics. Filmmakers of various artistic sensibilities,...

The world premiere of Polish artist and filmmaker Piotr Winiewicz’s AI-driven hybrid film About A Hero will open International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) on November 14 and will screen in the main competition.

Winiewicz made the film in response to a remark by German director Werner Herzog that “a computer will not create a film as good as mine in 4,500 years”. Rising to the challenge, Winiewicz and his team created a computer programme called ‘Kaspar’ based on the mind of Herzog to write a film script.

The film’s fictional narrative features Vicky Krieps and is combined with interviews with artists,...

The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here) is set to reach theatres on Wednesday, December 25th – and with that date just a couple of months away, we’ve gotten our hands on an international trailer with Portuguese subtitles. You can check that out in the embed above. The folks at Total Film have also unveiled a new image of the character played by Nicholas Hoult, and that can be found at the bottom of this article.

An unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the original Nosferatu has the following synopsis: In this highly influential silent horror film, the mysterious Count Orlok (Max Schreck) summons Thomas Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) to his remote Transylvanian castle in the mountains.

Anticipation for The Witch and The Northman director Robert Eggers' Nosferatu remake is at an all-time high following the recent release of a terrifying full trailer, and the filmmaker has now promised that Bill Skarsgard's new take on Count Orlok will make vampire's scary again.

Aside from a few brief glimpses and an unsettling look at his silhouette as he terrorizes his latest victim, the trailers have kept Orlok under wraps, but Eggers teases that our first proper look at the ancient blood-sucker will be worth the wait during a new interview with Total Film.

"We’ve gone all the way to Edward Cullen, where vampires are not scary. So how do we go in the complete opposite direction of that? Vampires were scary enough that people used to dig up corpses and chop them into bits and set them on fire."

"I think we deserve a scary, smelly corpse again,...

Bubble, boil, steam, and burn, it’s time to watch those film reels turn. That’s right, it’s October, which means it’s almost Halloween, but the minute the clock struck midnight on the 1st, we here at IndieWire were already decked in black and frightening our office mates at Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. While carving pumpkins, eating candy, and donning elaborate costumes may be how most ring in this special time of year, we believe there’s no better celebration of spooky season than entering a dark theater and sharing a few collective screams with strangers.

This month, repertory theaters in New York and Los Angeles have plenty of offerings to get those lungs expanding and heart beating. From black-and-white classics like Don Siegel’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1956) to modern monster favorites such as “The Mummy” (1999) starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, don’t miss...

A brand new trailer for Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgard‘s upcoming horror movie has been released!

The two stars lead the new movie Nosferatu written and directed by Robert Eggers, which is a remake of F. W. Murnau’s 1922 film and was later adapted by Werner Herzog in 1979.

The cast also includes Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe.

Keep reading to find out more…Here’s the film’s brief synopsis: 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.

Before production began, this pop star was in talks to star in the movie.

Nosferatu will be released in theaters on Christmas Day later this year.

He's chilled us to the bone with accursed goats (The Witch). He's chilled us to the bone with accursed lighthouses (The Lighthouse). And he's chilled us to the bone with blood-soaked tales of viking vengeance (The Northman). Now, after over 10 years trying to get his passion project made, modern horror master Robert Eggers is mere months away from unleashing his Nosferatu on the world. And following a slew of eerie posters and a terrifying, tone-setting teaser for his reimagining of the classic F.W. Murnau vampire chiller, the full trailer for Eggers' Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, and Willem Dafoe led Gothic horror is here. Check it out below:

It may be cold outside right now, but things just got a whole lot chillier in the office after that — sheesh! As was the way in Murnau's German expressionist masterwork and Werner Herzog's 1979 classic after it, here we once again...

Nosferatu is quite easily the most highly anticipated horror movie heading our way in 2024. Today, a new trailer has been released (via FearHQ.com) which suggests this filmmaker Robert Eggers will deliver the most spine-chilling, terrifying Christmas in recent memory.

Once again stopping short of fully revealing Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok, the focus is primarily on the twisted relationship between the vampire and Lily-Rose Depp's Ellen Hutter.

The atmospheric and creepy preview also features a lot of blood and it's clear Nosferatu won't be for the faint of heart. Superman star Nicholas Hoult also gets a fair bit of screentime, while it looks like we're in store for another compelling Willem Dafoe performance.

When Eggers released The Witch way back in 2016, he put himself on the map as someone who can use horror to truly terrify audiences. He'd follow that movie with The Lighthouse and The Northman but...

The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here) is set to reach theatres on Wednesday, December 25th – and with that date three months away, a new teaser trailer for the film has arrived online! You can check it out in the embed above.

An unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the original Nosferatu has the following synopsis: In this highly influential silent horror film, the mysterious Count Orlok (Max Schreck) summons Thomas Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) to his remote Transylvanian castle in the mountains.

After Orlok reveals his vampire nature, Hutter struggles to escape the castle, knowing that Ellen is in grave danger. Meanwhile Orlok’s servant, Knock (Alexander Granach), prepares for his master to arrive at his new home.

Robert Eggers is continuing his cult films of the occult.

The “Witch” and “The Northman” auteur takes on his long-gestating reimagining of “Nosferatu,” with Bill Skarsgård playing the titular vampire. “The Idol” breakout Lily-Rose Depp stars as Ellen Hutter, a woman whose soul is seduced by Count Orlok (Skarsgård) while her husband Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult) fights to save her.

Eggers writes and directs the remake of F. W. Murnau’s 1922 film, which was later adapted by Werner Herzog in 1979.

The horror classic Nosferatu gets a brand new makeover from acclaimed director Robert Eggers this holiday season, and Focus Features invites you to sink your teeth into the official trailer this morning. Succumb to the darkness down below.

Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film, whose appearance remains hidden even in this latest official trailer. A smart play from Focus Features that further builds dread and anticipation while we spend the next few months waiting for this classic horror throwback.

Nosferatu will release in theaters on December 25, 2024.

“Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”

Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin and Lily-Rose Depp also star alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), Simon McBurney and Ralph Ineson.

The Paddington films have always been imbued with a deep love of cinema. Paul King’s Paddington and Paddington 2 revelled in creating handcrafted textures, both beautifully shot and making nods to classic slapstick comedies, prison escape dramas, and soundstage musicals. Next, Paddington is venturing out of London – make way for Paddington In Peru, a threequel that sees Dougal Wilson make his directorial debut, taking the reins from King, and sending our young furry hero (and the Brown family) on an Amazonian adventure. That change of location means an influx of new cinematic touchstones.

Notably, Wilson mentions an influence from Werner Herzog’s jungle-traversing Aguirre, The Wrath Of God, and Fitzcarraldo. Yes, in a Paddington movie. It comes with the Peruvian territory – literally. “Peru has this incredible variety of landscapes, crazy geology, especially the Andes and the mysterious Incan side,” the director tells Empire. “If you’ve seen [Werner Herzog’s] Aguirre, The Wrath Of God,...

‘"Til you bid me come, shall you watch the world become as naught."

It's been confirmed that a new trailer for Robert Eggers' highly-anticipated Nosferatu remake will be released this Monday, and the movie's official social media accounts have now shared a foreboding new teaser in anticipation.

The brief clip features a sweeping shot of a mysterious stone structure with a hexagram symbol on the outside, which might well be where Bill Skarsgård's titular undead nobleman, Count Orlok, takes his rest during the day.

Orlok has mostly been kept under wraps, but we caught a very quick glimpse of the vampire sinking his fangs into an unfortunate victim's neck in the first trailer, and another as he slowly turns around to face the camera.

Will our next look at the movie fully unveil the monster? Check back here on Monday to find out!

‘Til you bid me come, shall...

The official Twitter account for Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu shared a cryptic video this morning, and it seems to suggest that something is headed our way early next week…

The 30-second video, which you’ll find embedded below, moves up a gothic pillar of some sort to reveal the date “9/30/2024” etched into the stone, and it’s pretty safe to say that Focus Features is promising the film’s official trailer this coming Monday, September 30, 2024.

This lines up with a scoop earlier this week indicating that a 2-minute, 30-second trailer for Nosferatu has been rated for release, and it now looks like next Monday is indeed the day.

Today’s video was tweeted out with the following mysterious message:

‘Til you bid me come, shall you watch the world become as naught.

Nosferatu will release in theaters on December 25, 2024.

Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film.

“Robert Eggers...

In Michael Samoski's 2021 drama "Pig," Nicolas Cage plays a quiet, bearded recluse named Rob Feld who lives in a remote woodland cabin with his unnamed pet pig. The pig is a skilled truffle forager, and Rob makes a living selling truffles to a restaurant supplier (Alex Wolff) who occasionally drives out to his cabin. Rob clearly has a dark past, but has seemingly found peace in the woods. One night, however, Rob is attacked, and his pig is stolen. Rob has to trek into nearby Portland to retrieve his animal friend, and, we learn, confront his past.

As the film progresses, we discover that Rob had unusual connections in the world of Portland's high-end restaurateurs, and that he participated in eatery-related underground fighting rings (!). He's also still in mourning over the death of his wife years before, which was the primary impetus driving Rob to become a recluse. More than anything,...

The Paddington saga is one of the most highly successful animated films of all time. Not only the first two films performed well at the box office, but they also earned critical acclaim. Such feat warranted another sequel, and this time, fans will be transported in a jungle adventure in Paddington in Peru.

Credits: Paddington in Peru / StudioCanal

The third installment is the first project in the franchise that won’t be helmed by director Paul King, though he took part in the story conceptualization, ensuring that the new film aligns with the core theme and message of the previous ones.

Paddington in Peru Oozes With Peruvian Culture and Folklore

Helmed by Dougal Wilson, Paddington in Peru will follow the adventures of Paddington, voiced by Ben Whishaw, and his adopted family as they traverse the Amazon rainforest and the Peruvian mountains in search of Aunt Lucy.

While it sounds like a typical comedy adventure story,...

Michael B. Jordan is back in action with his “Black Panther” writer/director Ryan Coogler.

The trailer for “Sinners,” the highly-anticipated vampire movie from the MCU duo, is officially out years before the long-awaited “Blade” remake. “Sinners” has been positioned as the non-mcu-sanctioned take on the “Blade” comics. While Coogler has made two Marvel films (the “Black Panther” features), “Sinners” is entirely separate from the franchise — and probably for the best.

Marvel’s “Blade” starring Mahershala Ali was first announced in 2019. Since then, it’s had a rotating door of writers and directors.

Coogler and Jordan first collaborated on “Fruitvale Station,” and then moved on to “Creed.” Jordan later made his directorial debut with “Creed III.”

“Sinners,” again written and directed by Coogler, centers on twin brothers — both played by Jordan — who return to their New Orleans hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

One of the most famous silent movies of all time is the original Nosferatu. Fans are clamoring for the upcoming remake from Robert Eggers, the director of The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman. Famously, Nosferatu has already been remade as a sound film. Sadly, it was an embarrassing misfire.

An arthouse director gave us his remake of ‘Nosferatu’ in the 1970s

Werner Herzog is one of the most acclaimed arthouse movie directors and German directors ever. Most of his films were not made for the mainstream but his remake of Nosferatu — titled Nosferatu the Vampyre — has broad appeal. After all, 20th-century audiences couldn’t get enough of a certain vampiric count.

The problem here is Klaus Kinski’s version of Count Dracula. In the original Nosferatu, the character eerily pitched somewhere between a human being and an insect. Other interpretations of the count are more suave and seductive. Meanwhile,...

There's a huge amount of excitement surrounding Nosferatu and a terrifying glimpse of Count Orlok has been revealed on the first poster for the movie. With any luck, this means another trailer is going to be released any day now (and surely in time for Halloween).

When filmmaker Robert Eggers released The Witch way back in 2016, he put himself on the map as someone who can use horror to truly terrify audiences. He'd follow that movie with The Lighthouse and The Northman but is making a full-blown horror return with Nosferatu this Christmas.

A remake of F. W. Murnau's 1922 version and Werner Herzog's take in 1979, 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.

"Yeah, it’s a scary film. It’s a horror movie. It’s a Gothic horror movie," Eggers said last year.

The Halloween season extends straight through Christmas with the release of Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu on December 25, 2024, and the first official poster has arrived today.

Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film, and we get a fresh preview of his take on the character via this official poster. Does Eggers’ Nosferatu have… hair?!

Check out the new Nosferatu poster below…

“Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”

Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin and Lily-Rose Depp also star alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), Simon McBurney and Ralph Ineson.

Eggers directs and he wrote the script. Eggers also serves as a producer alongside Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, Jeff Robinov, and John Graham.

Sandbox Films, an independent production company that focuses on making documentaries about scientific issues, has hired Caitlin Mae Burke as its head of production and development. In this position, Burke will work with Sandbox Films executive director Jessica Harrop to play a significant role in helping to decide which projects the company will finance, managing the company’s partnerships with Sundance and other organizations, and overseeing its documentaries from their development through their production and post-production.

“To say I am humbled to join the team at Sandbox Films is an understatement: their expansive support of the most invigorating non-fiction films over the past several years has been truly inspiring in how to best support boundary-pushing artists,” Burke said in a statement. “As a producer and arts administrator it is a gift to follow this example from within the organization setting it. I am ecstatic to follow Jess Harrop’s continued...

It would be completely understandable that Ron Howard, having directed more than two dozen genre-tripping films spanning six decades, would want to shake things up a bit by jumping into something outside his proven comfort zone. And it would be equally logical that the vehicle to take him there would be a certifiably bizarre but true account of a 1920s German philosopher who sets up an experimental society with his lover/disciple on a remote island in the Galápagos, only to have it all implode when opportunists come and crash the party.

But despite all the intriguing possibilities of the concept and a game, international cast including Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Brühl and Sydney Sweeney, Eden, handed its world premiere at Toronto, never finds its happy place. The prevailing overwrought tone lands more cartoonish than satirical, while a protracted running time accentuates the film’s deficiencies.

We are just months away from the release of Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu,” the reimagining of F. W. Murnau’s 1922 film, later remade by Werner Herzog in 1979. Star Nicholas Hoult, who plays Thomas Hutter, is teasing just how terrifying Bill Skarsgård is going to be as Count Orlok.

“He’s terrifying, it’s not Bill,” Hoult told IndieWire at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of “The Order.” “That’s what’s so worrying about it. He gives a truly transformative performance where there is not anything of Bill left and it’s scary and intimidating. His voice, his physicality, I mean the makeup he has, it’s really a wonderful character and he did beautiful character work with it.”

The film stars Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter, a woman whose soul is seduced by the Count while her husband Thomas Hutter fights to save her. The official description for “Nosferatu...

He has made feverish films about crazed obsessives – but one idea was too excessive. The great director explains why Mexico, featuring acting frogs and fleets of ships on fire, is finding an audience at last

Werner Herzog has two faces, both wearing the same expression of grave forbearance. To some, he is the formidable adventurer-auteur whose cinematic odysseys, such as Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre, the Wrath of God, doubled as life-imperilling expeditions for cast and crew. Millions of others know him only from his work in front of the camera, as a villain in Jack Reacher or as the mysterious Client in the Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian.

Herzog turns 82 tomorrow, but ask him how he feels about a career spanning more than six decades and he will protest. “I had no career,” he says, squinting into his webcam from a book-lined office in his Los Angeles home. “I had a...

As always, the Telluride Film Festival, which runs over the four-day Labor Day weekend in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, waits until the day before the Friday festival launch to release its official selection.

Per usual, many of the slate’s titles have already leaked via publicists and attendees, and few of the most prominent first showings — from Edward Berger’s pope drama “Conclave” (Focus) and Jason Reitman’s recreation of the 1975 launch of SNL, “Saturday Night” (Sony) to RaMell’s Ross’s Colson Whitehead adaptation “Nickel Boys” (Amazon/MGM) — are news at this point. Still, there’s plenty new to dive into.

Festival director Julie Huntsinger, who has been running the festival for years but officially took over the solo reins from the late Tom Luddy with last year’s 50th edition, got on the phone with IndieWire to discuss the selection of nearly sixty feature films, short films,...

The recent teaser for Robert Eggers' Nosferatu left horror fans thirsty for more, and we're hearing that a second trailer might be right around the corner. In the meantime, Focus Features (via FearHQ.com) has released a bloody new still featuring Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Sutter

The still finds the tormented Ellen with blood pouring from her eyes and mouth. Unless this is a pretty significant spoiler, we'd say this is from a dream sequence or vision.

The first trailer mostly kept Bill Skarsgård's titular undead nobleman, Count Orlok, under wraps, aside a very quick glimpse of the vampire sinking his fangs into an unfortunate victim's neck, and another as he slowly turns around to face the camera. Will our next look at the movie fully unveil the monster? We'd say they'll keep him hidden for as long as possible.

It was very difficult to make out the creature...
