Nicholas Hoult’s Upcoming Horror Has All Chances to Make Everyone Forget About His Recent Flop

Summary:

• Back in 2023, Nicholas Hoult starred in a failed Dracula-coded movie alongside Nicholas Cage, but it turned out to be a flop
• Hoult’s upcoming new release might be able to change that
• Directed by Robert Eggers, the horror film with a star-studded cast follows complicated relationships between a young woman and a vampire that haunts her.

Nicholas Hoult has seemingly entered his horror film era, but kicked it off with a huge disappointment.

Last year the actor starred in a comedy horror film Renfield alongside Nicholas Cage, but the movie turned out to be a disaster with both viewers and critics. Now that the fiasco is almost forgotten, Hoult is getting a chance to override his recent flop with yet another gothic movie — but this time the actor is much closer to the overall success.

Nicholas Hoult will soon be back to cinema screens with his brand new horror film Nosferatu directed by Robert Eggers.

Starring Hollywood’s most prominent representatives like Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin and Willem Dafoe, the movie will follow a strange duo of a young woman and a ghastly vampire whose obsession with the former makes him haunt her till the heroine finds herself reciprocating her stalker’s feelings.

Though the upcoming film is still quite far from receiving the first reviews as it’s set to be released on December 25, Robert Eggers being behind the whole production and the screenplay is what reassures many in the movie’s unconditional success.

Though the director can’t boast of a vast filmography, his resume yet includes The Witch starring Anya Taylor-Joy, The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe in the leading roles and The Northman with Alexander Skarsgård and Nicole Kidman. Given that all of his movies coincidentally ended up with 90% of approval on Rotten Tomatoes, there’s a pretty low chance that Eggers’ next movie will be somehow different.

Nosferatu will come as a remake of the 1922 German Expressionist movie of the same name that, in its turn, was loosely based on Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula.

This particular detail is one more incentive for Nicholas Hoult’s upcoming film to not become one more failure as his last year’s Renfield was also inspired by Dracula’s story.
