Anya Taylor-Joy’s popularity in Hollywood has really skyrocketed since appearing in Witch as well as M. Night Shyamalan’s hit movie Split.
Now it’s learned the 21-year-old Anya Taylor-Joy will re-team with Witch director Robert Eggers on his new take on the classic 1922 silent movie, Nosferatu.
Variety reports Anya Taylor-Joy is in talks to star in Studio 8’s remake of Nosferatu. The original 1922 silent movie follows the vampire Count Orlok of Transylvania who wants to buy a house in Germany and becomes enamored of the real-estate agent’s wife.
The movie was in part based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and there was a remake in 1979 directed by Werner Herzog with Nosferatu the Vamrpyre.
Anya Taylor-Joy’s role in the Nosferatu remake is currently unknown, but she could very well be playing the real-estate agent’s wife, or who knows maybe it’s a new spin and Anya Taylor-Joy will play a version of Nosferatu?
Update: Lily-Rose Depp has been cast in the role of Ellen Hutter. The film gets released Dec. 25, 2025 and also stars Bill Skarsgård as the titular character, Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hutter, the husband to Lily-Rose Depp’s character, with Emma Corrin as Anna Harding, Willem Dafoe as Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz, and Ralph Ineson as Dr. Wilhelm Sievers.
