Despite Robert Eggers's upcoming horror movie Nosferatu being a remake of the 1922 German expressionist film of the same name, the director says he wanted to completely change that century-old ending. But star Bill Skarsgård persuaded him otherwise.
"I sent him a backstory of Orlok that I wrote. So we came to it together to achieve what I was after. Because I’m so tired of the heroic and sad vampires, I was just like, 'He's a demon. He’s so evil,'" Eggers tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Doctor Who's Christmas special 'Joy to the World' on the cover and hits newsstands on December 3.
