Have you ever seen Shadow of the Vampire? It’s a fictionalised story of the making of Nosferatu… and it stars Willem Dafoe. Well worth a watch.Oh Wow, they're redoing the original classic that started them all, 1922's silent film, Nosferatu.
The original was a loose adaptation of Bram Stokers book and the first time (I believe) that this genre was attempted in cinema. There was another German attempt at a remake in 1979 which I know absolutely nothing about.
This one has Willem Dafoe and Nick Hoult, I really admire Nick Hoult because he does some pretty unusual films that most people wouldn't go near and does a damn good job of them too. Warm Bodies I thought was a masterpiece of left field thinking and quite a difficult role to play. Willem Dafoe is just a legend, and again can play some pretty unusual roles that he nails.
Nosferatu (2024) | Fantasy, Horror, Mystery
Nosferatu: Directed by Robert Eggers. With Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult. A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.
It's not due for release until Christmas Day next year, but definitely one to watch out for.
Yeah, that was mentioned when I was reading up on this new one, but had no idea what it was, that must have been in my dark days. Will definitely check it out, I love Dafoe and anything on Vampires always takes my fancy.
Up to episode 5, it does NOT disappoint, and MY GOD, Kurt Russell is just like he's still a 30 year old, same hair, same voice, same energy, same laugh, it's brilliant!
It's brilliant isn't it. The actor who plays his younger self actually looks like Kurt Russell as well. It's really well written. I have watched one of the Godzilla movies that reference monarch last week. Are you up to date with the movies?
No, not yet although do have them on the watchlist. I’ve got so much to catch up on!
It’s his real life son, Wyatt Russell. Not just great casting 😛
Well how stupid do I feel now
I honestly thought you were winding me up but a quick google search and yep he's his son!No, you were right. It's actually AI CGI and they've de-aged and de-bearded himWell how stupid do I feel now
You're not fooling me this time!No, you were right. It's actually AI CGI and they've de-aged and de-bearded him
I wouldn’t do that to you, amigo.Well how stupid do I feel now
It really should have been Burt Russell or Kurt Russel Jnr.
There's been some comment on 'socials' that the CEO at the time (Adam Crozier, 2003-2010) is not mentioned in the programme at all.
True though there's not one mention of him
Binged it (well, up to episode 8, as final 2 episodes aren't out yet) over the break, and am loving it.
That's where I'm up to. They get released each Friday. Really enjoying it. I'm contemplating going cinema to watch Minus 1. I've never been interested in Godzilla until I watched this series. It looks Minus 1 focuses on the earliest days of Godzilla like the series has been doing in parts.
