Nosferatu director Robert Eggers will never make a movie set in modern times: "The idea of photographing a cell phone is just death"

Bill Skarsgard as Count Orlok.

Nosferatu director Robert Eggers has no intention of making a movie set in modern times.

"The idea of having to photograph a car makes me ill," Eggers told Rotten Tomatoes, when asked if he'd make a contemporary movie. "And the idea of photographing a cell phone is just death. And to make a contemporary story you have to photograph a cell phone. It's just how life is. So, no."
