10 Horror Remakes You Had No Idea Were In The Works
4. Nosferatu
A silent-era classic which was almost destroyed by a lawsuit from the Bram Stoker estate, Nosferatu is one of the very earliest vampire movies.
Sure, it was a thinly-veiled Dracula retelling, but it's a classic nevertheless which deserves its place in the celluloid hall of fame.
Max Schreck's creepy Count Orlok remains one of the most recognisable and iconic monsters of his generation, and he's about to hit the comeback trail.
The Witch helmer Robert Eggers has boldly targeted a remake of the 1922 classic as his next project, serving as both writer and director on the resurrected Nosferatu.
It's an audacious filmmaker who attempts to remake a cinematic landmark for only his second feature film, but he isn't the first director to have a stab at retelling the story.
Werner Herzog released Nosferatu the Vampyre, a stylised reimagining in 1979, and earned plaudits for his efforts, giving Eggers the daunting task of having two critically acclaimed movies to live up to.
