Lily Rose-Depp has followed in her father Johnny Depp’s horror footsteps with a chilling new role in Nosferatu.
A reboot of the classic 1922 horror film, the movie stars Bill Skarsgård as the vampire Count Orlok and Depp as Ellen Hutter, the young woman Orlok fixates on.
The film’s official trailer was released Monday and shows Ellen suffering from a horrific nightmare seemingly about the vampire.
‘Come to me, come to me,’ a frightened Ellen whimpers as tears roll down her cheek. ‘Hear my call.’
‘Come to me,’ she beckons once more before a hand suddenly appears and menacingly grasps her neck.

She seeks advice from Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz (Willem Dafoe) who visits a panicked her at her bedside.
‘Professor,’ Ellen whispers to Albin. ‘My dreams grow darker. Does evil come from within us? Or from beyond?’
Townspeople are then shown preparing for this mysterious figure’s pending arrival as they gather at night with pitchforks.
Nicholas Hoult, who plays Thomas Hutter, also seems aware of this creature’s pending arrival as he slowly walks down a dimly-lit path.

The chilling trailer ends with what appears to be a glimpse of the vampire, completely concealed in a black cloak as Albin finally utters the name all have been waiting for.
‘We are here encountering the vampire,’ Albin utters as his hand sweeps over a cryptic symbol. ‘Nosferatu.’
A synopsis for Nosferatu reveals it 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,’ the film’s director Robert Eggers told Empire. ‘And I do think that there hasn’t been an old-school Gothic movie that’s actually scary in a while.’
He continued: ‘And I think that the majority of audiences will find this one to be the case.’
The filmmaker, 40, raved that ‘Lily-Rose is absolutely phenomenal’ and this remake of the tale is ‘even more Ellen’s story than previous versions.’

The chilling film will be released on December 25, 2024

Eggers noted that Bill Skarsgard, who is responsible for Lily-Rose’s terrified expression, was completely ‘transformed’ in his role.
‘I’m fearful that he might not get the credit that he deserves because he’s just… he’s not there,’ Eggers teased. ‘He felt like honouring who had come before him. It’s all very subtle.’
He continued: ‘But I think the main thing is that he’s even more a folk vampire. In my opinion he looks like a dead Transylvanian nobleman, and in a way that we’ve never actually seen what an actual dead Transylvanian nobleman would look like and be dressed like.’
Nosferatu will be released on December 25, 2024.
