Jeff Robinov, John Graham, Eggers, Chris Columbus and Eleanor Columbus are producing.

In the new reimagining, Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman (Depp) in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire (Skarsgard) who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.

Taylor-Johnson next will be seen starring as the titular superhero in Marvel’s Kraven the Hunter. He recently wrapped production on the action-adventure film The Fall Guy, reteaming with director David Leitch, who directed him in Bullet Train. Taylor-Johnson’s credits also include Christopher Nolan’s Tenet and the action-spy feature The King’s Man, a prequel to Kingsman film series.

He is represented by WME, Brillstein Partners and Sloane Offer Weber.
