"The Crown" Star Emma Corrin Joins Movie "Nosferatu"

“The Crown” Star Emma Corrin has recently joined the cast of the upcoming remake of Robert Eggers’ silent horror movie “Nosferatu“.

Anya Taylor-Joy, Lily Rose-Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, and Willem Defoe will also star in the Focus Features project.

“Nosferatu”, which was released in 1922, is loosely adapted from Bram Stoker’s famous novel “Dracula“.

"Nosferatu" is derived from an archaic Romanian name for a vampire, following a copyright spat with the estate of Bram Stoker, the Irish novelist who wrote the Dracula novel in 1897. Murnau’s vampire was renamed Count Orlok.

The project was first announced in 2015, just after the premiere of “The Witch” at the Sundance Film Festival.

"Nosferatu"  has been in development for six years; it was suspended in the middle for Eggers to shoot “The Lighthouse” and the Viking drama “The Northman”.

The reimagining is due to shoot on locations in Europe from next month.

Skarsgård will play the ancient, nocturnal Transylvanian count who desires Depp’s haunted young woman.

Eggers serves as writer and director of "Nosferatu", while Jeff Robinson, John Graham, Eggers, Chris Columbus, and Eleanor Columbus are producing.

Corrin is currently leading Virginia Woolf’s "Orlando at London’s Garrick Theatre. She also recently filmed the FX murder mystery limited series "Retreat "for Zal Batmangli and Brit Marling.
