The upcoming 'Nosferatu' remake is done filming

Well at least it's promising with him at the helm.

I’m still so surprised Eggers is doing a Nosferatu remake. He’s one of my favorite working filmmakers (I’ve loved all three of the movies he’s made so far), but why a remake? Especially when Nosferatu already has a well-received remake?

I will almost definitely see the movie to see what Eggers brings to the table, but I wish he were filming another original script, especially as his writing talents match his directing talents. (Compare Eggers’s The Northman with David Lowery’s The Green Knight, both of which share some actors and juxtapose fantastical elements with stark historical settings. While both writer-directors are striving for artistic, surrealistic images, Eggers’s dialogue and storytelling are far superior.)
