Eggers’s take on Nosferatu became a surprise box office hit after its release at the end of last year, making $156m worldwide to date. Today also saw the film over-perform with the Academy, scoring four Oscar nominations for cinematography, production design, costume design, and makeup and hairstyling.
The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw called it “an elaborate, detailed love letter to the original, intelligently respectful and faithful”.
The writer-director, whose credits also include The Witch and The Northman, has also just announced his immediate follow-up, a 13th-century thriller called Werwulf. The film, reportedly set in England, is aiming for a Christmas 2026 release.

There have been attempts to make a sequel before with directors such as Alien Romulus’s Fede Alvarez and Doctor Strange’s Scott Derrickson involved. In December, Jeff Sneider broke newsthat Eggers was to be attached to a new take.……
