Lily-Rose Depp, the daughter of Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp is set to take over screens in India with her new film 'Nosferatu'. The Robert Eggers gothic horror film, inspired by the classic vampire legend, sees the beauty take on the role of Ellen Hutter alongside Nicholas Hoult's Tomas Hutter.
Speaking about her experience working on this critically acclaimed film, Lily-Rose revealed in a statement, “I’ve always loved haunted gothic tales like this. I could see the whole thing playing out as I was reading it. I was holding my breath the entire time."
She further explained the unique allure of the film’s script, saying, "There’s something about this movie that feels very real, visceral, and human, which is fascinating because it delves into demons, ghosts, and another realm. That’s what I think is the scariest part about the movie: just how real the nightmares are."
Lily-Rose's casting in the film generated significant buzz amidst 'nepotism' debates taking over social media. However, Eggers rubbished these allegations when he opened up about the actress' audition. He revealed that the entire room was brought to tears watching her completely embody the character, noting that she was 'destined to claim the role'.
Featuring a stellar cast, including Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe, Nosferatu follows Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult) as he uncovers the truth to save his wife, Ellen Hutter (Lily-Rose Depp), who becomes ensnared in the sinister world of Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård). Willem Dafoe stars in the film as the enigmatic Albin Eberhart Von Franz.
Set to release on 10th January 2025, Nosferatu promises to deliver a chilling tale of obsession and terror, enriched with dark allure and emotional depth.
