Nicholas Hoult can't get enough of vampire movies, it seems. After taking on the title role in new horror-comedy Renfield, a modern-day take on Dracula's not-so-faithful familiar, filming has just kicked off on another of the actor's upcoming projects, Nosferatu. Directed by The Northman and The Lighthouse helmer Robert Eggers and serving as a remake of the 1922 German film, this is set to be a very different sort of bloodsucking tale.
"Rob [Eggers] has wanted to make Nosferatu since he was eight years old and he did a play of it as well when he was in high school, so it's been a passion project of his for a long time," Hoult tells the Inside Total Film podcast during our chat about Renfield.
